Pirelli P Zero Run Flat (PZ4) tires are Max Performance Summer tires derived from Pirelli's Formula 1 experience and developed for use as Original Equipment on the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and MINI Clubman, with select replacement tire sizes also included in the lineup. P Zero Run Flat (PZ4) tires are designed for the drivers of sports car, sport coupes and high-performance luxury sedans and provide the convenience of temporary extended mobility in the event of complete air pressure loss. Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), so the P Zero Run Flat (PZ4), like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The P Zero Run Flat (PZ4) utilizes a special high silica content summer-only rubber compound that is molded into an asymmetric tread design focused on comfort, low rolling resistance, low noise and lateral hydroplaning resistance. Wide, circumferential grooves and lateral notches are utilized for efficient water evacuation at speed or while braking to improve resistance to longitudinal hydroplaning.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a hybrid nylon and Kevlar ZeroDegree cap ply. Based on the desired performance characteristics of the Original Equipment application, the tire casing will be two-ply polyester or one- or two-ply rayon, with either symmetric or asymmetric construction. With many combinations of material and orientation available during development, tire designers have the ability to fine-tune the tire's internal construction to further match the personality of the automobile for which it is engineered.

The sidewalls of the P Zero Run Flat (PZ4) feature additional reinforcement to provide self-supporting run-flat capabilities of up to 50 mph for up to 50 miles (80 km/h for 80 km). Due to these restrictions, it is imperative drivers be notified when a loss in tire pressure occurs and requires the vehicle be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to detect and signal tire pressure changes.

Though they cannot be labeled as run-flat tires, tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls offer run-flat-like characteristics by delivering limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture results in complete loss of air pressure. Because MOExtended or MOE tires do not have the same speed and distance endurance of conventional run-flat tires, they should not be substituted in any situation where a conventional run-flat tire is required. To confirm what your vehicle needs, check our Original Equipment tire listing for your year, make and model or see your vehicle owner's manual.

These tires are fantastic in wet conditions. We live in a warmer wet climate so tires that grip well in rain are a must...

These tires are fantastic in wet conditions. I put a set on a Mazda5 for my wife’s car. After driving it a few times, I ended up putting a set on my Honda civic. We’ve driven over 60,000 miles on both sets of tires. We live in a warmer wet climate so tires that grip well in rain are a must. These are so good I’m going to put a new set on my Honda again.

Great tire for the $- predictable in rain with good traction. Drove the Tail of the Dragon in TN in light drizzle on these tires- very satisfied as the car never slipped once...

Great tire for the $-predictable in rain with good traction. Drove the Tail of the Dragon in TN in light drizzle on these tires-very satisfied as the car never slipped once. Quiet on hwy. Reasonable breakaway on dry riads-Dry traction as expected, not as good as a dedicated Summer tire-but I bought these as the “Winter” tire for the occasional driving vacation down south. Fairly slippery on snow but this is a Mustang not intended for that-made it through the local neighborhood though and it can be navigated with some care. Very happy with these. So far not showing wear at 5K.

...Handling has been a dream so far, I've had them since spring and I put the car away mid-October. Awesome ride, great cornering, excellent through any rain and super responsive all the way through. I've found city driving to be really good too, very precise steering...

I was looking for a high performance tire to put on my Solstice and after lots of research I settled on these Pirellli P7 Y rated tires. One of the best tire decisions I've made! I was immediately struck by how amazingly quiet they are. My top was down on a warm spring day right after I had them installed and I was blown away by the fact that I could not hear the tires rolling at all, I had to listen hard for the whisper. Handling has been a dream so far, I've had them since spring and I put the car away mid-October. I did a long highway trip to British Columbia from the prairies and it was a beautiful drive through the mountains with these. Awesome ride, great cornering, excellent through any rain and super responsive all the way through. I've found city driving to be really good too, very precise steering. I rave about these tires to my friends and do not hesitate recommending them. I can't really speak to tread wear just yet but the tread looks pretty much the same after the first season of driving with equal city and highway miles (about 5,000 total).

...The tread wear is minimal giving the mileage...

I have had these tires on my daily commuter car, a 2013 Nissan Leaf, for three years and just under 22,500 miles and love them. A Nissan Leaf is not a sports car, but being electric (meaning all of your torque is available from the moment you put your foot down on the accelerator) it does put some grind to the tires (even when on city streets and in traffic). These have held up very nicely. The tread wear is minimal giving the mileage. The tires are very quiet, which is very important given that road noise is about all I hear since the car is electric. They track well, give good grip starting and stopping, and do well in rain. I have only driven on them in very light snow and they did fine, but as a summer tire you wouldn't want to go out in real snow with them. Living in the Southeast means I don't have to worry about snow very often. Although not an "eco focused" tire, they seem to give slightly better range per charge than the OE tires that came with the car. Considering the price, these have been a great purchase. Since I put so few miles on every year, it will be a long time before I need new tires, but I would purchase these again.

...These tires have 40K and 6mm of tread left. I rotate my tires regularly every 5K and the wear has been even on all the tires...

I bought these tires to replace the OEM Michelins. These tires have 40K and 6mm of tread left. I rotate my tires regularly every 5K and the wear has been even on all the tires. The ride quality is pretty good and the noise level is more than acceptable. I drive in Southern California so I drive the majority of the miles on dry highway roads. The tires handle and respond very well. I will definitely buy another set, when these tires wear out.
