Given 64% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDI 140 SLine (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 7,000 average miles
Fitted to 69 reg A4 - Tyres grip very well in most conditions. Tyres wear very quickly, 7-8k for fronts, 16k for rears. As wear progresses the grip deteriorates rapidly to the point of non deliberate wheel spinning at junctions and traffic lights, particularly bad in wet weather. Trying the Hankook now to see if its the car or tyres!

The longevity factor is the only downside to these tires. 23K is about it before your at the bars. That is with only sporadic high performance driving. Fantastic grip wet or dry. Little noisy but I can live with that as these tires perform when asked to do so. Pricey but not as bad as Michelins with almost identical feel and stability. Putting a fresh set on this afternoon on a 911 4S. Excited to feel that confidence again when hitting the apex out of a tight corner.

Weather it was wet or dry the p zero was brilliant BUT . Two of the tyres developed bulging in the side walls the car had not been curbed or hit any pot holes, I had a garage inspect my wheels to make sure of this pirelli said buy a new tyre and get the old one sent back for inspection but didn't expect anything other than pirelli to tell me it was driver error so not bothered and as the tyre had only cover 1500 miles I felt pretty annoyed at their attitude towards this ,anyhow I put another p zero on the car and now this has developed a bulge so no more pirelli tyres for me

Given 47% while driving a BMW 730Li (225/40 R20) on mostly motorways for 500 easy going miles
I use P Zero R20 run flat on a BMW 730 Li for a year. The tyre was one year old when i bought it. Both tire has a cut insides which is very dangerous for a high soeed tyre only after one year and Pirelli Malaysia said that its not their reaponsibility. Very very poor tyre quality and brand promise. I am really surprises. I thought i paid for the best tyre. Dont buy.

Changed after 9 months and 17k miles was told this was good, I felt I should have at least gotten 25k. Buying another set and these will determine whether to change brand in the future.

Given 73% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 7 TDI (235/35 R19) on mostly town for 17,000 average miles
Had these tyres on for a while, the difference I noticed straight away when putting these on was that I had lost a lot of comfort. These tyres are extremely hard and allow every little stone you go over to be felt inside the cabin. In terms of handling, grip and wear, you cannot fault them. However those things do not matter when you’ve lost this much comfort. Lowered and running on 19s which really doesnt help lol.

Given 74% while driving a Ford Mustang gt (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Against the suggestion of the internet, I fitted the PZero to the mustang. Initially I wasn’t too impressed. Spent 50% more than Kumho PS71s, and nothing to show for it. But then the temperature increased over 12C, and the tyre came alive. Great grip. Wouldn’t recommend for cold days and winter.

Given 87% while driving a BMW 320d efficient dynamics (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
I drove thoses tires in the Runflat version. I was so surprised with the confort! I had non runflat before and the difference was barely noticable! I have done 15.000 miles with them before selling the car. The thread left was : 5MM front, 4MM rear. The tires have done also a few laps on the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. The tyre have handled really great and I am surprised with the high milage they would have done.

Given 93% while driving a Porsche 986 Boxster S (265/35 R18) on mostly country roads for 11 spirited miles
Grip, tracking, handling & feedback superb. Wear acceptable given exceptional performance. Some (premature?) perishing visible from age, but handling not noticeably affected. Mechanic advised typical of PZeros. Persuaded to try Toyos (front & rear) which regretfully NOT in same league. Will switch back ASAP.

Used for 9 years from new. Wouldnt change as I have now 127k on the car. Get average 28k on fronts and I like to drive fast

Given 59% while driving a Jaguar XJR (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,500 average miles
My three of my cars have come with PZeros fitted. Jaguar S-Type R - followed lorry ruts like tram lines, noisy, replaced immediately with Continentals which fixed everything. XJR (1) - replaced all four due to pot hole damage and of the new ones two were not round leading to a shaking at 70 that nobody could eliminate. Dealer very unhelpful about getting them replaced after a place with a Hunter machine proved the tyres were defective. Near useless in the cold or 'lightly wet', wore down to 60% in 4500 miles and stopped gripping. XJR (2) - only just got this one, tyres are all down to about 3.5mm, traction and grip are terrible to the point of being unsafe. Will be replacing them with something else. Summary - repeatedly unimpressed, on expansion joints the car will actually skip at normal everyday speeds. Very prone to damage from pot holes, good in the dry but poor in the cold and useful grip runs out long before you reach the legal limit. Obvious QC issues if I'm able to get two bad ones in a set of four - since front/rear wheel sizes are different on these cars and I had a bad one of each it can't be written off as a batch problem. Rim protection is above average on the upside. Newer PZ4 might be better but be warned unless you SPECIFICALLY tell them otherwise JLR dealers will fit these older types by default.

The pirelli p-zero is a very good tyre for performance in the Corners. I was extremely disappointed at the wear rate as the front tyres only lasted 12,000 miles before being replaced.
