Pirelli P Zero PZ4 Reviews - Page 2

Given 54% while driving a BMW M240i (255/35 R19) on mostly town for 6,500 spirited miles
These were the tires that came on my 2024 BMW M240i xDrive. While they do alright they leave a lot to be desired. I just cant seem to trust them. They always handle the job with no drama when loaded up, but it takes a big of G to really get there. They just feel like they’re asleep until a threshold of high grip. On hard launch they dont chirp or bother they just go, hard stops the same. They are serious under pressure but almost always napping off the line. They are eh okay.

I have an I20N Performance. It’s done 3200 light miles. Never tracked or driven hard.
These tires wear fast!
Don’t know if that’s the lsd or just the type of tire. Always loved Pirelli tires and will buy again just in a wider size.

Great on dry roads or track, with great resistance to heat on track for a road tire.
Excellent feed-back on steering!
They are a bit sketchy on wet cold roads.
I did a pretty long track day with them and around 5'000km on the road, they have around 5'000km left.

Given 69% while driving a Audi 2.0tdi 140 sline sportback (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
This review builds on an initial review I did a year ago. When new, dry performance is flawless, high level of grip and very good feedback and handling. In this regard, I would put them over the PS4 and a little bit under the PS2(N3). Surprisingly, the PZ4 is really silent and comfy, which is also a plus for motorway and long trips. On rain they are acceptable. Unfortunately, I think performance decreases significantly as they wear: very slippery on wet (not even rain) and noisy. OK on dry. Lasted about 40 thousand km.
Will not buy again. Moved to Bridgestone Potenza Sport, which, IMO, performs better in any regard.

Good tire, Grips well especially in the dry and dry braking is GOOD. But at 30,000km this set is just about toast - and as they aren't cheap I'll be looking for something to last a bit longer.

Given 50% while driving a BMW M340I X Drive (255/35 R19) on for 0 miles
Got PZ4 RFT on a new M340i LCI. It's love-hate relationship so far. Above average in the dry, but lacking grip at the limit. Very poor in the wet, car is tail happy even at low speeds. Comfort is fine, not very noisy.
They are ok, but my previous PS4 (not S) were more linear and predictable in all situations, especially in the wet and cold. Could drive them at 2 degrees C with no problem at all.

Good predictability in the dry, I didn't particularly dare in the wet, the front tires wear out quite quickly, especially if you use the car properly.

Given 84% while driving a Alfa Romeo GT 2.0 JTS (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 4,000 spirited miles
Even on the track, they were predictable and sticky, not the same as a semi-slick of course but in its class one of if not the best.
Noted I have the Sport with the Tire protection
A great-performance tire and a good allrounder, Perfect for the sporty daily driver

Aquaplaning resistance is the only thing I'm not so fond of.

Good tire, especially in comparison to the standard fit Turanza. No cons so far. Good bang for the buck on this size.

Amazing summer tires, dry grip is incredible, displaces water very well. BAD for snow (lol)

Given 87% while driving a Dodge Charger SRT (305/35 R20) on mostly country roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Used them tp replace the all seasons on the front axle, driven fpr around 3.000km, they grip very good on dry tarmac, i did not drive in the wet except when the roads were a bit damp, but they were confident enought, and did not get any surprises.
They do very well on heavy braking, and are comfortable enought. So far no wear on them but not really driven that much. I drive the car on street , in a spirited manner. Sp far very happy with them, once the Pzero allseasons on the other axle will wear, i will also use Pzero pz4 as i am satisfied woth them.

Given 76% while driving a Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2.9T V6 Quadrifoglio (285/40 R20) on mostly country roads for 11,000 spirited miles
Much better than I thought. Wet excellent dry fine. I would try something else next time as when wear down to 4mm they are noisy. Sidewalls are ok softish load rating. Car is Stelvio QF so powerful heavyish. I don’t do track so want same grip but more refinement.
