Pirelli P Zero PZ4 Reviews - Page 6

Given 53% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giulietta (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 12,427 average miles
Was offered these in comparison to my initial choice of 2nd set of PS4 which these supposedly handles just as well and have lower noise.
1.5yrs with 20k KM (12427.424 miles) milage and they are worn and due for a change.

Given 54% while driving a Audi S4 (235/35 R19) on mostly country roads for 11,000 spirited miles
Didn't really get on these seem too soft on sidewall and make the handling feel poor.

Given 97% while driving a SEAT Leon FR Plus (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
These tires are fantastic! The grip is really high either on dry road or on wet or slimy road. They go very fast in temperature and maintain it without ever losing performance. These tires are silent, with low rolling resistance. I also noticed a slight drop in fuel consumption...very good!
They also have the rim protection.
The guide is really accurate and sporty. It is really a pleasure to drive with these tires, which have an exceptional driveability and stability.
You really feel confident driving at high speeds, especially in mixed roads full of curves. Once you have learned the limit (high) of these tires, you can have a lot of fun and in total safety.
Traction control rarely intervenes compared to all other tires I have used. Really fabulous tires!
My experience is compared with several other summer sports tires that I have used: Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, Bridgestone Potenza S001, Continental Sport Contact 5 (the worst in all!), Yokohama Advan Sport V105s, Dunlop Sportmaxx RT, Michelin Pilot Sport 3.

For me this Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) are the best tire I’ve tried; second place the Bridgestone Potenza S001.
I still can't talk about mileage, but they should last longer than everyone else. This is my feeling that I will check in future.
Life of Potenza S001 and the old RE050A, about 30.000 Km (with spirited driving). All other tires last a lot less. The worst in terms of durability are the Yokohama Advan Sport V105s (about 12.000 Km) and Dunlop Sportmaxx RT (about 15.000 Km).

For me this P Zero PZ4 is the best!

Very good tires for the money. Needs some temperature in them to perform the best, maybe not as sticky as Conti Sportcontact 6's but should last longer. Very quiet tires for performance ones.

Given 90% while driving a Audi Q3 (255/40 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 7,600 spirited miles
PZ4's are OEM fitment on my Audi Q3 Quarto and very good they prove to be. Grip in the dry and wet are outstanding, as is ride comfort and quietness. Specified the car to be built with 'Sports Suspension' so was a little concerned of a harsh ride, nothing to worry about on these. Pirelli say the PZ4 were specially developed for Audi's model line up. Boy does it show, on road trips up on the twisty roads in Scotland and Cumbria I have never managed to find any under steer or over steer. Need to get on a track day to find this as on the road it is impossible to find. They have low rolling resistance and tire wear - Not even half worn so will be some miles before they need replacement, will be happy to fit them again.

SEAT (225/40 R18 W) on for 0 miles
Really good !
Replace very very good Yokohama V105 one year old.
To try them out.
First-class comfort (top) + rolling silence
A little above the Yoko on the dry,
In the rain, they are incredible ! Well above all that I have tried :
Dunlop RT, PS3, Yoko V105, Hankook V12 K110.
No idea about wear again ... The +:
- Braking (this is a big highlight)
- Motricity
- Handling
They are equipped with protections of the rims although the option is not specified (in France).
The sides are stiffer than the PS3 for example. The precision is much better.
In short, conquered...
Remains to be seen at mid-wear behavior ... exotic productions are often very disappointing after 40/50% wear ...
Although cheaper than Michelin Super Sport for overall performance not so far away ... Probably in terms of PS4 performance for lower price...
