Pirelli PZero Nero Reviews

Given 64% (breakdown) while driving a Skoda Fabia vRS (205-45-16-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 30,000 average miles
Had these on the front of my car when I first got it and the dry grip was fine but the wet grip was very poor indeed, constantly triggering the ASR traction control. I now have this model on the rears only and they are fine, no sudden oversteer or anything unexpected. They wear very well indeed on the rear with one in particular having been on there 30,000+ miles and still going strong. This all leads me to think they must be very hard compound tyres, removing them recently confirms this as they are very rigid with exceptionally stiff sidewalls.

Looking at other reviews everyones seems to big these tyres up... i cant say the same in the dry i havent worried they are good, in the wet they are ridiculous i cant tell whether they are gripping or what they are doing ! slide all over the road when very wet and if you want to use your breaks then thats comedy because you will slide like your on ice !! wouldnt buy again may be its because my cars rear engined and rear wheel drive and they is not enough wait over the nose to holt it down !

soft compound yokahomas are the way to go ! spot on tyres on the rear

never the less 13 thousand miles and they got 3 ml of tread !

Given 63% (breakdown) while driving a Peugeot 308 (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
My car had these tires when I buy it,
Good grip only in brand new road no matter wet or dry,
The main reason I will not buy again pirelli is that
these tires make big noise when I travel and in daily use are very hard.

Given 66% (breakdown) while driving a Volvo C30 D5 (225-40-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
These tyres were factory fitted on the C30 when I bought it brand new. They were ok, nothing too special. Nothing wrong with them...

Understandly these tyres were better at handling, stopping, starting etc during use on dry and drier roads then wet or damp roads. I had these same tyres on my previous car a SEAT Ibiza FR TDi and they handled much better on ther FR, I guess the higher weight of the C30 and higher front end weight affect the Pirelli's ability to hold up and handle the loads...

The side wall is soft so any slight kerbing and you'll get a nice chunk out of the tyre. Also due to this the front near side tyre wears out quicker due to roundabout use...

Overall they're ok tyres for this tyre of car, but if like me, you like to push on and 'lean' on the tyres then they're not the best. Also they're too expensive for what they offer. Better than Toyo's T1-R's I put on next but no where near as good as my current boots, Bridgestone RE050's

Driving on a combination of roads for 2,000 average miles
Too noisy for me and hard compound is sensitive to bumps especially on 19'' rims. Good wear rate and good grip but despite that I wouldn't buy again.

Given 76% (breakdown) while driving a SEAT Ibiza Cupra 20VT (205-40-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 27,000 average miles
Really good dry grip as long as you reach desirable temperature. Wet grip is not the best I've experienced, however it shouldn't worry you so much as the car does not lose contact with the road unless driver becomes really careless. In snowy conditions, forget it. You need to be really careful.
Amazingly durable sidewalls. After 43.000 klm, all 4 tires did not show any damage, even when climbing on pavements to park.
Performance in dry grip was still high at the end.
Decided to try Toyo's T1R, but would definitily buy P Zero's again!

Given 39% (breakdown) while driving a Ford Mondeo (235-45-17-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 9,000 average miles
Terrible tyres on a 2008 Ford Mondeo! The steering tramlined very very badly below 50 mph on any surface which was not billiard table smooth. By the time that the Pirellis were half worn they became noisy and in particular made a droning noise below 35 mph and then again above 80 mph.
I changed to Goodyear F1 Assymetrics and the car was transformed, particularly the steering which became a delight. After 11000 mls the front Goodyears are down to 4mm but the refinement and noise remains as good as when they were new.
NO PIRELLIS FOR ME EVER AGAIN
