Given 73% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 7 TDI (235/35 R19) on mostly town for 17,000 average miles
Had these tires on for a while, the difference I noticed straight away when putting these on was that I had lost a lot of comfort. These tires are extremely hard and allow every little stone you go over to be felt inside the cabin. In terms of handling, grip and wear, you cannot fault them. However those things do not matter when you’ve lost this much comfort. Lowered and running on 19s which really doesnt help lol.

Against the suggestion of the internet, I fitted the PZero to the mustang. Initially I wasn’t too impressed. Spent 50% more than Kumho PS71s, and nothing to show for it. But then the temperature increased over 12C, and the tire came alive. Great grip. Wouldn’t recommend for cold days and winter.

I drove thoses tires in the Runflat version. I was so surprised with the confort! I had non runflat before and the difference was barely noticable! I have done 15.000 miles with them before selling the car. The thread left was : 5MM front, 4MM rear. The tires have done also a few laps on the Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps. The tire have handled really great and I am surprised with the high milage they would have done.

Given 93% while driving a Porsche 986 Boxster S (265/35 R18) on mostly country roads for 11 spirited miles
Grip, tracking, handling & feedback superb. Wear acceptable given exceptional performance. Some (premature?) perishing visible from age, but handling not noticeably affected. Mechanic advised typical of PZeros. Persuaded to try Toyos (front & rear) which regretfully NOT in same league. Will switch back ASAP.

Given 96% while driving a Honda Civic Type S 2.2 i CDTi (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 28,000 spirited miles
Used for 9 years from new. Wouldnt change as I have now 127k on the car. Get average 28k on fronts and I like to drive fast

Given 59% while driving a Jaguar XJR (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,500 average miles
My three of my cars have come with PZeros fitted. Jaguar S-Type R - followed lorry ruts like tram lines, noisy, replaced immediately with Continentals which fixed everything. XJR (1) - replaced all four due to pot hole damage and of the new ones two were not round leading to a shaking at 70 that nobody could eliminate. Dealer very unhelpful about getting them replaced after a place with a Hunter machine proved the tires were defective. Near useless in the cold or 'lightly wet', wore down to 60% in 4500 miles and stopped gripping. XJR (2) - only just got this one, tires are all down to about 3.5mm, traction and grip are terrible to the point of being unsafe. Will be replacing them with something else. Summary - repeatedly unimpressed, on expansion joints the car will actually skip at normal everyday speeds. Very prone to damage from pot holes, good in the dry but poor in the cold and useful grip runs out long before you reach the legal limit. Obvious QC issues if I'm able to get two bad ones in a set of four - since front/rear wheel sizes are different on these cars and I had a bad one of each it can't be written off as a batch problem. Rim protection is above average on the upside. Newer PZ4 might be better but be warned unless you SPECIFICALLY tell them otherwise JLR dealers will fit these older types by default.

The pirelli p-zero is a very good tire for performance in the Corners. I was extremely disappointed at the wear rate as the front tires only lasted 12,000 miles before being replaced.

Given 54% while driving a Skoda (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 4,000 average miles
I have a set of these on my 2015 Skoda Octavia vRS and I regret getting them. I will be getting Michelin next time for sure. These are the noisiest tires I’ve heard in any road car. The noise at 110kmh on the highway is unbelievable and gets worse the faster you cruise. They grip well but I can’t wait to get rid of these and every time I drive my car I wish I had another brand on.

Given 59% while driving a Alfa Romeo 1.9 JTD M (285/40 R20) on mostly town for 9,000 average miles
Good tires if you live in warm places with little rainfall. Wear is always uneven and happens very quickly. Had the on 3 vehicles now and doesn't change with weight and sizes.

Given 63% while driving a Mercedes Benz C220 cdi sport (255/35 R18) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles
Swapped from Conti to save £20/tire. Bad move. My Merc C220 sport was fun to drive wet or dry. Wet is now frightening, car just lets go in unpredictable ways. I'm a life long biker used to the feel of the bike under my arse and adjusting as needed. The P Zero just has no feedback on a wet road. I've done 10k Miles on these tires so plenty of time to learn to live with them. They are horrid on my Merc.

Given 79% while driving a Mazda 6 MPS 2.3L V6 Turbo AWD (225/45 R18 W) on mostly country roads for 3,000 spirited miles
I love those tires. They get warm very fast , very nice handling, very good for wet roads in the highway or in town. Ideal for roads with low grip. They wear fast!!! Previous tires: Bridgestone RE050A, not satisfied at all especially on wet roads. P Zero Rosso, average, better than Bridgestone

These are the worst "performance tires" I've ever had the misfortune of using. Poor grip in the wet. Enough grip in the dry. Poor feedback and not progressive at the limit.
