Across 154 reviews, the Pirelli P Zero earns mixed feedback: drivers most often praise its strong dry grip, sharp cornering ability, and confident high-speed performance when temperatures are warm. However, many report fast/uneven wear for the price, along with frequent complaints of weak or unpredictable wet/cold traction that can undermine confidence. Noise/harshness and occasional tramlining or vibration/balance issues also come up regularly, making the P Zero feel best suited to warm-weather performance use rather than year-round driving in wet, cold climates.

I have had these on since i bought the car at 1,900 miles. I am now nearing 20,000 miles driven and have only had to change one due to a puncture.
fantastic grip and ok comfort isn't great but then again can't complain considering the 19" size!
want these again so i am going to make sure i have the same ones made in the same country. I had a bad experience with my ford where i had one set made in malaysia and one made in germany, even though they had the same brand and name the tread was different and the grip was NOTHING!
where they are made makes a difference! regardless of brand.
They were goodyear NCT's.
i used this tyre on a 2006 mazda rx8 challenge(192 hp),very good grip both on wet and dry.very good feedback and high Aquaplaning resistance.
braking is also good both on dry and wet roads.

After the first 300 miles and the tyres had bedded in they seem excellent. Dry grip is very good, wet grip is very good. Have now taken off for winter so once have done a few more thousand after spring will update. The only down side is the wear. But if you want grip thats gonna happen. From the amount they have worn so far if they continue t owear the same there going to last 7500 miles. I was hoping for about 9/10k but never mind. Will probably buy these again. (these are the MO rated ones which have an A for wet grip rating)

Fitted from new on a Jaguar XF, my fronts are down to 1mm on the edges and 3mm in the centre yet am only on 11,000 miles, rears down to 4 across the tyre. I do not drive around like a maniac ! Still legal but looking to replace with Dunlop Sports.
Love this tire. Thought Michelin PS2 would remain my ideal tire until I bought these. The catch is the tire doesn't feel like much the first 200 or 300 km, after that it gets better by the day, after 1000 km it's incredible. The dry grip is immense, both on a straight line and in corners. The precision is a tiny bit less accurate compared to PS2 but otherwise it's hands down a winner. It's behavior is much sportier than PS2, imho. It's kind of like you get the performance almost comparable to semi-slicks such as Toyo R1R except with more gentle and acceptable public roads manners which is a good compromise. The wet grip and safety are good but not the best. Comfort is totally acceptable but there are more comfortable tires out there. I would suggest this tire for anyone with a small or mid-size car powerful enough for sporty and/or extreme driving looking for a solid performer primarily in the dry that wouldn't lose too much in the wet.
Really good tyres, never had any problems not even a puncture. Went on holiday for 6 weeks once and tyre pressures were the same as when I left. They were slightly noisy on the road but that depends on the road surface you're driving on as well. Overall they are good tyres.
These were factory-fitted to my Jaguar XF. From the outset, they suffered from tramlining, otherwise they were unexceptional in every respect. They lasted around 12000 miles, mainly motorway driving, at which point I was glad to replace them with Dunlop SP Sport 01s. A disappointing tyre.
They are black, they are rubber, they keep the rims off the road. They break traction earlier than previous Continental or Michelin types. The best feature they offer is that they seem to wear out quickly so will be gone soon. Pilot Super Sports or something more interesting I think.
