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.

Excellent feedback and comfort, noise levels are also among the best I have tried. The only bad about this tyres is that wear life is among the worst I have ever tried, probably this is due to the tyre being on the soft and thats why it is so grippy.
Had these on my Audi S7. Very average tyres. No grip in the wet. Sideways slides in the dry through fast corners. The Audi is 4wd so this helps the tyres but not enough to overcome the weakness in these tyres. They may offer better grip in lighter less powerful cars but pretty useless in heavier high performance cars. Very poor wear. Have moved to Michelin PS4s. Hopefully these perform far better.

Had two sets of these. Wear is fast especially with camber of S7. Terrible in the wet when braking and entering corners under hard braking. Wouldn't buy again. very hyped up tyre. About to try Michelin Power Sport 4s
Just reviewed the front tyres below in 225/40/19 as the rears are 275/35/19 due to the BMW staggered set up and as below very good tyres and after 11k the rears are down to just under 5mm.
No issues with the tyres in the wet or dry, they seem to be wearing well and evenly and should last 20-25k.
Tyre fitted from new MO and just manage to get 13000 miles. Also changed the front which are still legal with 3mm but wearing bad on the edge. Checked alignment and tyre pressure often. This is the second set of Pirelli P Zero that has let me down. Some budget tyres do much better than this MO tyre.

Very noisy tyre, granted my tyres are wide, but I have a colleagues with same car as mine and Goodyear's on and it is a completely different beast altogether. Weimar is also an issue. Other than that it's a good tyre.

Fitted to my VW Arteon ex showroom.
Extremely noisy on sibbed roads. I mean EXREMELY NOISY. Impossible to hear and car seems ready to disintegrate.
Minor joints in the tarmax feel and sound like potholes.
This tire provide very high grip on dry surfaces. Mounted on a FWD coupe that pulls 260+cv well known for having a poor traction. With previous tires (Hankook Ventus prime 2) it was impossible to get enough grip in first gear, even on a perfect straight line
With these pirellis it did'nt spun once ! Lateral grip is just great (better than pilot sport 4 i've also tested). Turns speeds became quite terrifying.
The only drawback is wear : at 7000 km only 2 mm of treadwear left but i run a massive ammount of neg camber so it was more or less expected.
