Pirelli Powergy Owner Reviews

Review this tyre

What owners say summarised from 35 reviews

Owners most often praise the Pirelli Powergy for its dry grip, while those commenting on wet grip are generally positive too. Ride comfort is also well regarded, although not everyone agrees. Road noise divides opinion: 11 owners find it quiet, but around one in five find it noisy. Around one in five question tread life, though some report good longevity and some concerns are based on new tread depth rather than wear in use. Steering feel and fuel economy also receive mixed reports. Overall, 19 of the 35 reviews are positive, with an average score of 69.5%.

Nothing special with these tyres.is in the average at all but the wear is very easygoing. Lasted only 25.000 km in a family car

Changed to pirelli powergy from conti uc6. Tried to get pirelli p7c2 but it was out of stock and the dealer recommended these. Driven 2500km so far. Grip has increased a bit though that might be due to the tyre being 10mm wider than the 215 uc6. Comfort is good, noise is low but steering feels a bit heavy. Grip in wet and dry both excellent. Low noise as well. Quiet at high speed (>130km/h) So far so good.

Didn't really live up to the hype. Loads of wheelspin in my 2.0TFSI Q3, not confidence inspiring in the wet either, and no feel. Considering the Q3 is quattro that says a lot. Highly disapointed.
Thankfully just traded in the Q3 for an A6 Avant that comes with my favourite tires, Potenza RE003 Bridgestones.

Excellent tyres all around. I was using Bridgestone Potenza RE003’s before this and over all, these are much better, quieter and feels safer. Tread wear has been great compared to the Bridgestone’s I had.

The tires feel very good on dry asphalt, the feedback is good in corners and they are comfortable and silent. On wet roads, I never felt unsafe riding a little faster than the other drivers around me. I cannot tell exactly how much they wore, but visually there's not much difference since when I bought them. Compared to the Continental ContiSport Contact5 (DOT 2016, around 30k km and they were already gone!), these are much better at handling, comfort and noise. Overall very happy with the purchase

Passed 2000 km on the tyres. Are more comfortable in comparison to Bridgestone i had. I drove in heavy rain and I have not realized any aquaplaning.

The loudest tires ever bought in 30 years... I went back to seller who recommended brand and model, he replied is road's fault... Now after just 2000km I am looking forward to wear them out, as these tires turned a very very quiet car (reason why I bough it) in a rumble of madness on the motorway where grainy asphalt is used for draining water... let me reiterate: the loudest tires ever bought in 30 years !! I am italian and was happy to buy an italian product... after this experience... no more Pirelli... EVER ! There are so many good brands out there. Pirelli if you read this review, I am available to sell back these tires to you immediately. A very unhappy customer.

Excellent grip in both dry and wet, acceptable road feedback, predictible when taken to the limit. Given the low mileage it's a bit early to predict the wear behaviour... however, seems ok so far. They are very, very quiet and provide good comfort.

I measured the tread depth when new as I thought they looked a little shallow - 6.6mm ! Have now done just over 6000 miles on these and already down to 5mm on fronts and 5.5mm on rears ? At this wear rate I will be lucky to get to 18000 miles at min of 1.6mm tread. If I replace these at 3mm depth they will have only just over 12000 miles since new ! Highly dissapointed at the rare of wear, my previous Avon zv7s came with 8mm tread when new and still had around 3mm left when I replaced them at 23000 miles. So when the Pirellis are worn out its going to be back to the Avon's for me !

Good tyres, haven't had long so have not filled in ware score. Good in wet and dry conditions, however, did notice a drop in MPG. Used to get 54mpg on my old tyres and now lucky to get 47MPG and that's only with these tyres fitted to the front. Don't know if it would drop further with the back two replaced as well but will see.
