Pirelli P Zero Runflat

Tire wall is weak
I have had bad experience with P Zero tires that fitted to Porsche Cayman718, BMW 630i GT, Mini Cooper S JCW, Mercedes C 350e.
While my replace with a French tire have worked wonderfully
Distributor in Thailand was so bad
Have not returned my inquiries at all.

So actually I have mine just on the fronts with non run flats in the rear and when I did that I had no clue the fronts were run flats. They felt so good on my 350z and turn in was amazing. The way so little input can change my direction it felt telepathic. So yeah they’re pretty good doubt you’ll even notice any tradeoff

Having had to replace my tires for the THIRD time after 91,000km - that’s only 56,500 miles - or 19,000 miles per set - I don’t see these tires as value for money - particularly as I don’t drive hard.
I’d have expected to get up to 25,000 miles on a set of Run Flats.

The worst tire ever. I used previously run flat tires at BMWs and know runflat pros and cons. Pirelli pzero grip generally is good.. but comfort whenever the road is not 100% flat is awful..... including vibrations since day 1 when running above 120km/h (75 miles) more noticeable when the tarmac is not 100% flat while previous turanza runflat had no vibrations.
Tried at several service centres to fine tune....but no way, rims are ok but tires seems having problems. Not recomendable at all.... I Know now why this brand was compared by many users to an stone tire.....

I have tried various Run Flats and Normal tires over the years, and i am very satisfied with these RF P Zero's. Feels great and has totally transformed the way the car feels. I feel the tire technology has come on so much over the years. I'm very happy with the level of grip, and feel just as good as when I ran the normal P Zeros.

This is second set of Pirelli tires that I have owned. Pirelli tires (in my opinion) are awful. Last pair would not balance or hold balance after the dealer replaced all 4 tires and performed multiple balance, now I have my second set that came with my 2022 BMW and the tires are bad after 30K miles of mild driving mix of highway and city. 4 tires and they have all different wear levels. How is that even possible. Will never by Pirelli's again. The brand is awful. I would pay more for Michelin. I road race motorcycles as well and my friends that run Pirelli's only run the once, they they flip to Michelin. I do not know how Pirelli is still in business as they have an inferior product (IMHO).

Have been driving my car for 3 years and this is the first tire change. The W213 E300 AMG line is factory fitted with 245/35/R20 in the front and 275/30/R20 at the back. These combination is probably not the best fit for a luxury sedan model as the large wheels on runflats give poor comfort. You literally can feel the grits, bumps and the ruts on the roads. It is not noisy though but just not comfortable ride. In terms of road grip in dry and wet is acceptable, except that the car tends to understeer a bit in tight corners. The car comes with adapative suspension and therefore I can feel the compensation as it happens. My biggest issue is its wear rate. Coupled by the thin side walls that tend to tear and buckle, Pirelli P Zero is just not hardy for use in this cars. More so considering that I am a reasonable drive and not one who does not drive his car to its limit. In fact, for a mere 11,000 miles, the tires have worn out its treads so quickly than any other comparable cars I have owned before. I have recently changed the tires with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmertric 3 and the feeling is very contrasting. The ride is smoother, slightly quieter but a lot more comfortable, and the grip is acceptable. The wet grip is better than the Pirelli's I had. It is slightly more expensive though but is worth the money. Not sure on the long run but will comment further when have had enough experience with them.

I have reviewed these previously, and at 55,000 these tires are down to 2mm all round. Overall excellent tires and have lasted ages on my car, albeit they were on the front of my BMW 520d but they will now be replaced with michellin ps4 run flats.

These came as factory fitted MOE runflat tires on the rear axle. Car had 20" 245/35r20 PZ4 runflats in front and 275/30r20 runflats P Zero (all MOE) for RWD w213. I Replaced these tires and wheels at 10600km. I've driven 8600km of that mileage. The tires wore like rubber bands on the 20" wheels. Unlike the 245/35 PZ4s, these do not have sound deadening foam and overall tire noise is louder in the cabin from the rear axle. Ride comfort is 7/10 on highways due to air suspension. On chip seal, speed humps, potholed roads ride comfort is 4/10 - very abrupt jarring transmitted to cabin due to tire profile and rims. Wet grip in cold (5'C) and damp country highways was 6/10 at 110km/h speeds - with some side slip noticeable. Dry grip was 8/10 most of the time but with occasional rear traction slips at highway speeds in curves. This combination of tires and rims is quite poor for a luxury sedan and compliant rides.

I purchased my car with had covered 33,000 miles and the BMW dealer fitted these tires all round, I have now covered 80,000 miles and these tires are down to 4mm and wearing evenly, so they have covered 47,000 miles and are still only down to 4mm this is insane. I think they will do around 60,000 miles when they finally get to below 2mm and as they have a treadwear rating of 220 and are AA rated that is some going. The dry and wet handling has been excellent, and yes as they are on the front of a rear wheel driven car and the real driving is done at the rears I did not expect 50,000 miles out of them after 2 years and still 4mm. Overall excellent value for money and excellent tires.

They were fitted on my F30 335d xdrive when I bought it. BMW approved with star. Great tires with good enough wear for mine spirited driving. Had only one scary aquaplaning moment on motorway at high speeds, but that was in really heavy rain. Otherwise very good grip especially in dry. Only “downfall “ I have is that I hit deeper pothole and from tire split near the rim and had to replaced both front ones. Few months later while driving on motorway and changing lanes my rear tires got cut on the Cat eyes reflectors . But still car stayed stable and I kept driving for another 60 km with no air at 100km/h. I’m on my second set of Pirelli’s and they’re my num1 choice, especially for bmw with factory msport suspension, they make car handle beautifully.

My first set on my E220 lasted 12,000 miles, tires were shredded and split around on the inner wall, told it was down to bad tire pressures !!!!!! I would have been notified via app and dashboard if they were and regular manual checks. Installed another set and the same happened again.....despite me laying under the car to keep checking and more frequent checks with tire gauge. So 12,000 miles out of each set. Mercedes just checked the second set after 1,000 miles and say 7mm front and 6mm rear, so 30% down on rear already. Anyone Elsa had this problem ?

2020. Good grip when dry. Poor in wet. Try something else.

Very noisy and uncomfortable. I only got 10,000 miles on my new Merc on the rear tires. Front still 70% good. NOT an aggressive driver. 80 years of age.!!!. Changed all 4 to ordinary tires. The best decision ever. I now appreciate the finer qualities of my new E220 AMG.
