Given 75% (breakdown) while driving a Porsche 911 3.0 (255-55-16-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
Just bought the Neros after reading many reviews. Have 300k on a so far quite good. I do not have the tramlining issues noted in some reviews and grip in the wet seems reasonable although tough tell as yet. They are much quieter than the Toyos they replace and provide a much softer ride and accurate steering feel. I drive my older 911 in a pretty spirited manner but do not drive in heavy rain. (and never in snow!) The Neros provide a confident feel in damp to medium wet conditions.
I find them, best of all, to be very predictable regardless of conditions so I always know what the car will do. If I drove a more modern, higher powered car, results may be be different but for my 3.0 911, these tires have so far been very good.

Given 44% (breakdown) while driving a Ford fiesta st (205-40-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 9,000 spirited miles
I can only compare these tyres with Toyo Proxes TR1's as these are the only other tyre i've had on my ST and the Toyo's are far superior. The Pirelli P Nero Zeros came as standard on the ST and from day one I was disappointed. Tyre grip is poor when setting off at traffic lights and at roundabouts. The wheels would slip and slide all over the place looking for grip with the slightest blip of the throttle. It was always a gamble when nipping out in front of another vehicle praying that the car doesn't go into 'slip and slide' mode! This was getting too hairy so had to wait until there was a reasonable gap in traffic before pulling out.

One of my front tyres seemed to wear badly in the middle of the tyre and my psi has been constantly at 30psi since the day I got it, strange. Maybe it was a dodgy tyre??

The tyres lasted me just under 9k miles so not too bad. Thought they would last a bit longer though.

This tyre does get a thumbs up for cornering ability in dry and wet but it's when setting off they are poor.

Very expensive too!

Tyre ride seemed to be very bumpy indeed, always looking to avoid those potholes at all costs!

Toyo Proxes TR1 are a softer compound tyre providing better grip in dry and wet. Aquaplaning is kept to a minimum. Ride comfort is also better and tyre noise is quiet also. Will they last the 9k which the Pirellis did? Who knows? But hey, if they keep you safe then I don't really care if they wear out a bit quicker. The Toyos are cheaper too!

These are really good tyres but they're very expensive.

Excellent tyre when the roads are dry and warm as in a race track! Cold, damp, winter roads are scary to say the least. Mine left the road in such conditions killing the car and nearly me!!!!

Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
For standard fit I was genuinly surprized with these tyres,excelent grip wet or dry. Moving from Proxies on my previous car the balance between level of grip available and wear was very good. They didn't have the outright grip the Toyos' had but lasted 50% longer with 75% of the grip.
I will 100% be replacing them with the same tyre.
