Pirelli P Zero Run Flat 

These tires came on my car (2 year lease return, purchased as CPO). They had 16K miles on them when I got the car. I've since put 12.5K on them. I had to replace the rear tires at 26K (same brand, different size, 255/30/R20, they were quite loud and worn down to tread-wear bars, bought from Tire Rack). The front tires can go about 3-5K at most at this point (so that should be about 31-33K roughly). I drive in pothole abundant place, Philadelphia, and they're holding up without any issues, even the fronts which are fairly worn down at this point. I'll probably replace the fronts next April, as I have a dedicated winter set that will be installed from Nov-Apr to handle the winter weather. Since my car came with 20" wheels and staggered setup, this is the only RFT out there that fits the bill (3 others that are non-RFT are available). So unless I want to run non-RFT, this is it. I'm glad that these are dependable and I prefer the RFT option for peace of mind and safety they provide. Braking and handling is exceptional in both dry and wet conditions. Needless to say I'll be getting another set in the near future. Strongly recommended for relatively long wear (220 wear rating tire) and dependability they've provided so far.

They were installed on my 2010 BMW 550i GT with the OEM M5 wheels about three days BEFORE I purchased the car used..... I've got just shy of 12K on them to date and I really couldn't be much happier than what I am...... Dry traction is the best I've ever experienced on any car I've owned in the past.... Steering and cornering is super responsive under all conditions.... Braking is truly outstanding.

Ride comfort/quality is very good considering all things..... Yes, the ride is a little stiff but I truly believe that has a little [more] to do with the car's OEM installed Sport's Package suspension rather than run-flats, or their very nature.

My driving habits are probably 60% interstates and the remainder 40% city driving.... seven times out of ten, I drive aggressively and am not afraid to "open" it up on the highways.... Noise is apparent but by NO means obnoxious or unbearable; I've had a lot worse from NON run-flats UHP summer tires..... Tread-wear is pretty good all things considered; remember, you're riding on UHP summer tires AND they happen to be run-flats.... SO with 12K on them thus far with about one-third of tread-life remaining AND given my driving habits, I'm pretty darn happy!

I'd say I [realistically] have another 5-7K tread-life remaining [at best] and - while four of these will run me about $2,400.00 out-the-door as I recently priced - I will most certainly be purchasing the very same tires again...... Recommended!

On [several] previous cars - from muscle to sports - I've run Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport, Goodyear Eagle F1, Sumitomo HTR Z III, Toyo Proxes T1 Sport, Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus Zero Pressure and B.F.Goodrich G-Force Sport COMP-2 and I would COMFORTABLY choose the Pirelli's reviewed here over the rest.

For the record, from the list above, the ONLY tire that came close under all conditions to the Pirelli's were the Toyo Proxes T1 Sport..... Close but no cigar.

Thanks for reading.

My MINI JCW Package is a 'true sports coupe' and I expect that it 'works as advertised'. Out here in AZ, we don't much worry about rain so I can go 'all out' on the best performance tire there is. The Perilli's P-Zero (RFT) 'MUST' react as quickly as I do. Maybe I shouldn't but hey if you have the car and it can do it, then go do it. I love making 'quick cuts' on the 101 out here at speeds above 80 mph. Sometimes I have perhaps no more than 'two feet' to spare between the vehicles I'm going to part and take off down the road. I wouldn't tell everyone who might read this to try it. You need 'motorcycle fast' depth preception and reflexes. I've been riding for 46 years. When you think that all the difference there is between doing this or ending up in a wreck is four 'tire prints', they better be 'up to the challenge'. The P-Zero is and along with the handling of the car that I expect allows me to 'fully concentrate on my driving. Let's be honest. If we're on this site checking tires, reviews, etc, we're not the 'average' Joe in the Sedan get your tires at Price Costco. The only other tire I'm going to check out is the 'new' Michelin Max.Performance Summer tire 'Super Sport'. However, I'd get these tires again in a 'heartbeat'. They wear well, handle superbly, noise level is 'non-existant' but the best compliment I can give any tire is "I totally trust it". Nuff said.

Excellent under hard driving conditions. Able to hold 1.2g lateral and 0.9g braking on the track (MSR Cresson) with 30psi front and 37psi rear, cold. Verified with tire marker for no rollover onto sidewalls. And that's at end of life. Plenty of warning before tires break loose, easily controllable rotation. Ride on the street is what you'd expect from a stiff sidewall tire which is what I was looking for, ymmv. Excellent road feel and feedback, well behaved under very heavy braking. No bad experiences in wet conditions or during the winter but moderated driving accordingly. Ride and performance is just night and day over the OE Bridgestone RE050 tires which were changed out for P-Zero RFTs at 13,500 miles. Car has camber plates and BMW Performance suspension, stainless brake lines and racing brake fluid. Note OE 17" wheels were changed out for 18" wheels when tires were changed from OE to P-Zero.

Kudos to Tire Rack! Great price, superb email updates on incredibly fast delivery of only 2 days from time or order to my drop ship choice that charged exactly what TR said they would. What a difference compared to the Bridgestone RE050 runflats that came off the car. Very quiet ride. Super smooth tires. I couldn't be more pleased!

Have zero complaints about how this tire contributes to the performance of my vehicle. Only 2 issues, which I guess should be expected on a low profile run-flat summer performance tire: they are basically shot at 12k miles and ride quality is pretty bumpy. If the cost isn't prohibitive for you to replace every 10k-12k miles and a few harsher bumps don't bother you, I wouldn't have any specific issue here - have great grip, corner well, and aren't especially noisy even with advanced wear.

Very quiet compared to the cinturato p7 and more comfortable.

I have Pirelli P Zero 225/40/19 and 255/35/19 originally installed and replaced with the same tires less than a year ago. After only 10K miles and 11 months the tires are completely gone. I called Pirelli and they stated that those P Zero tires comes with NO Warranty at all and 10K miles is normal life for this type of tires.
As for ride quality the Pirelli P Zero are extremely hard and noisy. I am aware they are low profile tires but it feels like driving on plastic not rubber.
If you decide to go with those tires, keep in mind Pirelli provides no warranty and they will last no more than 10K miles.

These tires perform okay. I've had better and I've had worse. That being said, getting around 12,000 miles before they require replacement on a daily use vehicle is a little absurd. I love Pirelli Tires and have been buying them for years now and the tread-life here was pretty disappointing. I'm thinking Bridgestone's are in this cars future.

DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES!! THE TREAD WEAR IS HORRIBLE!!! I need to buy a complete set of new tires after only 12,000 miles. For the price, these tires should last for AT LEAST 40,000. I can't wait to find a better tire for my Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT.
