Pirelli Powergy

Very disappointed with the tread depth on these as new tyres.
Brand new and only 6mm of tread. My Michelins on the rear of my van still have 7mm and have covered 20k already. I expect these Pirelli’s will need replacing this time next year. Not good enough, £50 a tyre cheaper than the Michelins. Pay the extra and get Michelin. Best all rounders and last, I predict 3 times longer !

Put these tyres on to replace some factory Dunlop run flats, which were horrible on the car, made a lot of noise and made the car scary to drive in the wet. These tyres were a great improvement on the Dunlop run flats. These tyres are great for the car when is it being used for daily driving. I have taken the car for one spirited run and the car handled great however there was minimal road feedback from the tyres, so I was unable to determine how much more I could push the car before hitting limits. The tyre is ideal for the purpose this vehicle is used for as it's not used for spirited "mountain/canyon runs" usually. As a daily drive to and from work, these tyres are nice and comfortable, quiet and provide great wear and fuel economy. If I was to use this car for more spirited driving, I would not be keeping these tyres on.

Second best tyre I've ever driven on, after Michelin Pilot Sport 4.
Dry grip was exceptional, almost as good as the Michelins. Under normal driving conditions, they're outstanding. It was only if I pushed them really hard did I noticed they were just a smidge less grippy than the Michelins, but they're very close.
Wet traction was pretty good, they were a bit easier to deliberately slide my Tesla with on wet roads than the Michelins, not dramatically so.
Once the tread wore a bit, probably in the last 5000kms, on a wet, smooth road, it was easy to break traction and slide them with the Tesla. But otherwise, they were still safe in the wet when worn. In the dry, they were still at about 80% of what they were new.
Pretty quiet, comfortable too.
Lasted 30,000kms which very good for me.

Review your Pirelli Powergy >

Had these on My E39 530D for around 2 years, not bad in many ways but the feeling and noise from the road can be horrid.

On paper, these were a good match to my Mazda 3 2.2D for long-distance motorway driving, and occasional blasts along country lanes, and they are responsive with plenty of grip, but one critical annoyance means I need to leave this negative review. Since fitment, I had persistent periodic vibration when travelling at speed on motorways, and this did not go away after multiple attempts at balancing and/or swapping wheels between corners of the car. A specialist with a Hunter Road Force Elite tester checked everything (rims, damage, runout, brake discs, you name it), and diagnosed that one tyre was right at the usual limit for passenger vehicle road force variation at 90N, with the other 3 at about half that value.

All 4 tyres were basically from the same batch (ordered at the same time, same week codes on each). Pirelli apparently don't have tight QC when it comes to this parameter, which is a significant factor in ride quality at speed. I'm now chasing them for a warranty claim on a tyre barely 1/10th through its expected lifespan.

Tyres lasted 4 months which was 4000 miles.
Usually get 18 months out of a set of pirelli p6.
Never buying again.

They're not bad tires, but they wear out really quickly. The front ones lasted me 18,000 kilometers, and the rear ones will last me about 28,000. And I'm a very relaxed driver!

Good: Excellent grip dry and wet. Great sporty feeling. Good economy when new.
Bad: They were fitted on the civic 5dr 1.8 after dunlop max. The load factor is now 94 instead of 91. The drawback is that it is really knocky in bumps and holes!

I bought these to replace Toyo TR1 on my Golf GTE. I chose them as they are the cheapest ‘famous brand’ tyre in this size. Better than the Toyo in grip, handling and only £7 each more. Had Michelin when I bought the car that were very nearly new, these are close to half the price of the Michelin and honestly nearly as good in normal day to day driving. Would buy again.

These tyres do exactly as they say. Dry grip is exceptional wet grip well I've had no wheels pin from these tyres and they grip hard.
I can't comment on wear as they have been on only a few hundred miles but they are quiet and give responsive handling

A really good performance dry tyre, not so sure in the wet as it let go at the rear end on a round about in wet conditions one time. But i'm still getting used to my car which is a M240i so quite powerful and a little tail happy anyway with all that power and torque. Tyre widths are the fronts, rears are 245.35.r18. Much more confortable ride than a runflat tyre, so no doubt better for the life of suspension parts as well.

Got this tyre to change my old Bridgestone Turanza T005A on September 2024. Compared with my old Turanza, there is no big difference between them unless the fuel consumption. With Turanza, my Corolla could achieve 1:14 km/l but with this Powergy only got 1:12 km/l. I think it's because of the pattern. But, overall it's a comfort and good tyre for your daily driven car.

I work in a tyre shop and sell a few Pirelli tyres, bought some for my s max and they are phenomenal, had them on 3 month so far and can’t fault them, wet grip is almost as good as Bridgestones road noise has reduced a lot, will buy again

Bought a used Golf with Powergy's on all 4 corners. 1st impressions were they were quite grippy but roadnoise is really quite loud. Wet grip is decent but not outstanding. Overall I wouldn't buy again especially as these are a fairly high price

I can say that those tyres are my first Pirelli's ever and after aprox 23K miles it's time for a change. I still have some tread on them but Ford Mondeo and Pirelli I don't think it's the best combination, especially the 235/19 ones, the MPG is not that great, well actually there are a lot of things to consider.
Overall, compared with the previous ones Continental 6 those ones were much better and probably I would buy them again.
