Given 39% while driving a Ford Mustang (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 9,000 average miles
Fitted to Mustang from factory, absolutely awful tire unless it’s a really hot day. In the wet they just don’t grip at all, even on a moderately damp road they break traction without even trying. Couldn’t wait to get rid of them, pulled off the car at 9000 mile and they have 5mm left so wear rate is pretty good.

Given 46% while driving a Porsche Cayman (265/45 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 13,000 average miles
These P-Zero N1’s came with the car. Dry handling is excellent. Unfortunately grip in any other conditions is just terrible. I have 3mm left on the rears yet even in light rain they just don’t grip. Traction control light flashing like mad on mild acceleration, the back slides out all over the place, thankfully the Porsche run an experience day at Silverstone which teaches you all about handling the car safely, not something I had planned to use quite so frequently. Anyway replacement tires now ordered I will not be going back to Pirelli.

If you are looking for performance on an SUV that’s the right tire
Tread wear and comfort are not my priorities

Given 90% while driving a SEAT Leon FR Plus (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles
Got a great deal on a full set of these tires after the factory fit Conti contact 5's had done there best. So far i'm very happy with them,not as quiet as the contact 5's but not bad enough to give them a lower score,Dry roads are a breeze but i have noticed they can get a wee twitchy on damp to wet Scottish Highland roads,but there again i'm not hanging around and giving the car some Timpson,,But ,, I'm very happy with them and they are wearing better than the Contact 5's the car came with when new.I will more than likely have these fitted again as ive had no underware changing moments with them like with the Conti's

Given 69% while driving a MINI Cooper SD (225/40 R19 W) on mostly country roads for 28,000 spirited miles
Lasted well on Mini Paceman 28,000 miles! These were run flats and started to tram line. Replaced with non runflats, much better

Given 56% while driving a Ford XR 6 Turbo 50th Anniversary (265/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 8,125 average miles
Great tires in the dry, easy to break loose in the wet with moderate acceleration. They are needing to be replaced at 13,000km (8,125 miles) which in my books is about half what I expected. I usually get between 25,000 with soft compound up to 40,000km. At the price of Pirelli Zeros will not be getting them again. Disappointing

Given 86% while driving a Mercedes Benz E63s (285/30 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Achieved 10k miles legally. In all but the most extreme acceleration these tires handled the power of my E63s. Handling is fantastic, wet grip hard to fault especially when car is balanced and not provoked. Not noisy enough to spoil the sound of the engine :-)

Given 70% while driving a Mercedes Benz E Class (275/30 R20 W) on a combination of roads for 150 spirited miles
The car came with Michelin Primacy 3 wich i threw away immediately. These set of Pirelli's are the new generation PZ4 and are marked as Ls which means Luxury Saloon. They also have Seal Inside technology. To be honest i have expected much more performance from these tires. I am largely dissapointed in dry weather at around 15 Celsius which we had for the last week i've had them. Didn't try them in the wet yet, the tests claim they are strong in wet cornering... As for the limit of the tire there is a good enough indication on when you are driving on the edge but saddly the limit comes so early...i regret not going for the michelin pilot sport 4! I will do a more complete review when i try them in wet and more hot weather.

Given 66% while driving a Audi A7 3.0TDi Auto (255/40 R19 W) on a combination of roads for 45,000 average miles
Needless to read comments when 99% of owners of new tires compare you feel with them new to those old barely removed from the car, obviously the new ones are just as quiet and comfortable as were the old ones many years ago but do not remember and it's normal. anything new is pleasant even more as if it cost less and expectations are balanced.

Given 67% while driving a Mercedes Benz C220 CDI Sports (255/35 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 8,000 miles
This is the 2nd set of P Zeros that I have put on my car. The 1st set lasted 8500 miles and were the original tires on the car. I am a great believer in keeping what came on the car on the car but at 8000 miles this is a bit excessive. I do 8000 miles a year of mixed motorway and A road driving. I do not drive fast or aggressively and can't believe the mileage from these tires. I am going to break my tradition and change from original tires to something else, not sure what yet.

Given 54% while driving a Porsche 997 911 Carrera 4s (235/35 R19 W) on mostly town for 5,000 average miles
Unfortunately my 911 (997.2) came with the N-rated Pirelli P Zeros for Porsche. They were barely run in, (they still have the rubber whiskers!) and I only added 8,000km or so before finding longitudinal cracks around the front tires. They were made in 2013 and as such, they have now reached the end of their life. If you do a quick search, you will see posts on forums complaining about cracking P Zeros dating back to about 2001. This from Subaru, Audi, Cadillac, Ford (Mustang), Porsche and other forums. I'll be replacing with Michelins. These things are useless.
