Given 54% while driving a Skoda (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 4,000 average miles
I have a set of these on my 2015 Skoda Octavia vRS and I regret getting them. I will be getting Michelin next time for sure. These are the noisiest tires I’ve heard in any road car. The noise at 110kmh on the highway is unbelievable and gets worse the faster you cruise. They grip well but I can’t wait to get rid of these and every time I drive my car I wish I had another brand on.

Good tyres if you live in warm places with little rainfall. Wear is always uneven and happens very quickly. Had the on 3 vehicles now and doesn't change with weight and sizes.

Given 63% while driving a Mercedes Benz C220 cdi sport (255/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles
Swapped from Conti to save £20/tyre. Bad move. My Merc C220 sport was fun to drive wet or dry. Wet is now frightening, car just lets go in unpredictable ways. I'm a life long biker used to the feel of the bike under my arse and adjusting as needed. The P Zero just has no feedback on a wet road. I've done 10k Miles on these tyres so plenty of time to learn to live with them. They are horrid on my Merc.

I love those tyres. They get warm very fast , very nice handling, very good for wet roads in the highway or in town. Ideal for roads with low grip. They wear fast!!! Previous tyres: Bridgestone RE050A, not satisfied at all especially on wet roads. P Zero Rosso, average, better than Bridgestone

These are the worst "performance tyres" I've ever had the misfortune of using. Poor grip in the wet. Enough grip in the dry. Poor feedback and not progressive at the limit.

Given 66% while driving a Audi S6 (275/30 R21 W) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
I saw another review on these tyres by an Audi S6 owner and couldn't agree more. On a less powerful lighter car these tyres might be fine but they are useless on an S7. I also have changed to Michelin PS4 for a more conformable ride and better wear with far more stickability especially in the wet. These are expensive overpriced tyres. Note car ios S7 but the tick down box only offers S6 then S8.

Given 44% while driving a Hyundai i30 (235/35 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 4,500 spirited miles
The Pirelli P Zero HN were fitted on my Hyundai i30N Perfomance Hatchback when I bought it new. I haven't read too much good stuff about these tyres but that they'll perform this bad is out of my imagination. The home of the i30N are curves and county roads, it's not the fastest on the straight line, but for sure the fast motorway trips (I live in Germany, so 200+ km/h is nothing new to me ;) ) are not the crucial parts for such a bad wear. I've fitted them about 4500km ago and already lost 4mm tire tread. 4mm front, 3mm in the rear. I've never driven a tire that uses this extensive. My old Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 lasted over 45.000km with a car weighed over 1.8tons. Same driving style. The dry grip is good but decents fast if the tire gets stressed a lot. Wet grip is creepy. You can't even take of normally after a stop without wheelspin. Even in 3rd to 4th gear - no grip while accelerating. Aquaplaning IS A THING! Feedback is average to good. I don't like the handling. Sometimes you got grip and out of a sudden loose it whithout it being predictable - SCARY. I can't recommend this tire at all. Maybe it's the special design that they made for Hynundai but my next tyre will be Michelin PS4S or Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport.

Given 50% while driving a Volvo V90 D4 (245/45 R18 W) on mostly motorways for 15,000 average miles
I purchased Volvo V90 with these tyre and this it's my second review of these tyres. I had them on A8 LWB and I thought maybe I am not lucky with the batch. P zero are the worst tyres on market. They are made from chocolate and wear extremely quickly. They are not that special with driving experience and you pay extra for premium brand. Dont waste your time and money.

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.

Given 40% while driving a Audi TT (255/35 R19) on mostly country roads for 1,000 average miles
The colder the temperature the worse they are. Below 7 degrees the tyres were rock hard and were dangerous in the wet. Overpriced.

Given 60% while driving a Audi S6 (275/30 R21) on a combination of roads for 8,000 average miles
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.
