Pirelli PZero Nero

These tyres came as standard on my ST; they are an excellent tyre in the dry giving lots of grip and a good warning when they are about to slide. However in the wet they are lethal! When setting off from a standing start with the lightest touch of the throttle the amount of wheel spin and axle tramp that you get is huge. When going through the corners in the wet they slip and slide all over the road and dont give much warning when the car is going to slide and dont even bother trying to use them in the snow!! I most certainly will not be buying these tyres again, having read other reviews on here the Uniroyal Rainsport 2 seem to get a good review so i think i will try those next.

I brought this tyre after having the standard fitted contact sports. The change in every aspect of the drive changed dramtically from Life time (about 15 - 20000 miles of very agressive driving) to the amount of grip they offerd. When the tyres had bedded in after a few hundred miles i found the grip astonishing. As i found / still experiencing, very competative speed thru corners, as of the likes of Calibra turbos, clio cups i even managed to takeover an s2000 round a series of round abouts, obviously he destoryed me in a stright line.

In all Iv found this tyre to be very consistant wet and dry, predictable at the limit, awsome grip and great value for money!

Next tyres im having are Uniroyle rainsports 2, hopefully there better but i was very reluctant to move from these.

A good all round tyre, especially suited to the X-Type Jaguar. Have averaged 25,000 miles on the front tyres, very good considering this is a two wheel drive varient and an amazing 79,000 on the rear

Great tyres, best I've ever used and haven't had the sliding problems mentioned by other people here.
Better than my old kuhmo ecsta supras, but only marginally and I'm unsure as to whether they merit the extra money.

definitely recommended though!

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.

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!!!!
