Pirelli  P Zero System (Collezione)

My PZEROs are mounted on ProDrive 17 inch wheels. The WRX feels glued to the road with these tires both in the wet and the dry. Cornering and acceleration from a standing start are outstanding. I expected much more tire noise based on other posted reviews. Except for excessive tramlining over grooved pavement, I have been very pleased. I strongly recommend the PZERO asimmetrico for a summer Max Performance tire and my MZ-01 Bridgestone Blizzaks for winter for any WRX driver who wants outstanding all-season performance.

This is the best max performance tire that I have had on my WRX. I am using four PZero Asimmetrico tires on 17 inch ProDrive P7 wheels. The car feels glued to the road and I am certain that my acceleration and cornering speed has increased. I was expecting a ton of road noise from other readers comments but that hasnt materialized. I was also pleasantly surprised with the wet handling. The only downside so far is that there is quite a bit of tramlining on grooved concrete pavement. For those of you driving a 4-wheel drive performance car like the WRX, I highly recommend the PZeros for summer driving and my Bridgestone MZ-01 Blizzaks for the winter as the ideal tire combination to maximize performance, braking, and handling.

Porsche Boxster '97 The Zeros are truly amazing tires. The level of dry grip is very high but the way they communicate with the driver is what sets them apart from all other tires. I have tried SO2's and Conti Sports but they do not come close to the level of performance provided by the Pirelli PZero. These tires have transformed my Boxster on the street and at the track. I will definitely purchase these tires again from Tirerack and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for some "mad" stick in the dry.

I dont understand how anyone can complain about this tire. If put this tire on the vehicles they were designed for there is no stop to what the will do in return. I have once tried a different tire from the P Zero that came with my RX-7 and will never change again. I have since upgrade from stock wheels to 245/35 f and 295/30 r on 18 in rims and even with the lower sidewall ride is still measurably the same a with stock, however performance is way up. I now get better cornering and seriously better starting grip with the add power to the RX. Only thing I wish Pirelli would do is produce a 305/30 for 18s.

My CRX drives so much better with these tires. I just recently replaced my Falken 502s with my new P-Zeros. I cant stress enough how much better these tires are. I really like the way they look. They have great dry traction and their steering response is excellent. They have worn evenly and have held up to some abuse at the local drag strip. The ride is smooth and quiet for the most part. I havent had much time in the rain on them but what little time I have experienced, they performed quite well. I would definitely buy these tires again and highly recommend them.

These tires are a must for Subaru/WRC enthusiasts. Lotsa fun on the dry. Good wet traction as long as youre going straight (due to AWD?). Corner too fast in the wet, however, and expect to pay the price. Overall, very nice balance of comfort and performance. Never heard this tire squeal once in protest! No issues with road noise since I prefer feeling and hearing every feedback from the car. If it ever gets old, I can always drown out the road noise with the stereo. Have since upgraded to 17" RE050s. Havent had a chance to push the WRX hard on its new tires much but initial observation is P-Zero and RE050 are about equal in performance with the P-Zero better in ride comfort.

Bought a set of 4 from tirerack special closeout price ($81/tire)! an amazing deal but keep in mind they were a set of 4 Dirrezionale not the actual "system" where 2 (usually front) tires are direzzionale and the rears are asymetrical. I have only had the tires on my car for a few days and I must say the improvement over the Firestone Firehawks wide oval indy 500s i had before is vast. they are much quieter and more comfortable, though there is some noise as highway speed but nothing bothersome whatsoever the only way to avoid most tire noise is to look into "grand touring" tires. But for a Max Summer performance tire they are quiet and comfortable.
Quite soft over bumps and pot holes not punishing at all.
Also the thing that stands out the most about these is the grip.... it is a challenge to get the car to loose grip be it in the wet or dry. These tires are exceptional as far as grip and cornering. Though stability is a bit questionable as it does wobble just a bit under hard cornering ( but that's probably attributed to my 45 wall size tire).
If you can get these on a closeout sale or something similar they will be well worth it. though I don't know if i would pay $200+ per tire, at this price point i would go with Michelin Pilot Sports.

I wanted to maximize my Legend's handling capabilities, so I spent a great deal of time researching my choice. It came down to Pirelli's PZERO Asimmetrico system or Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Positions. The PZERO's happened to be on sale at the time, so I went with them and was treated to a new dimension in car performance! A word of caution: these tires are for the performance-minded only due to the noticeable noise, bearable (at best) ride comfort, and dismal treadwear.

Excellent handling tire in dry conditions, however, for the money, I would not purchase again based on alarmingly fast treadwear. Im not an overly aggressive driver, however, I do drive fast. Ive had Michelon Pilots Sports on sports cars that havent worn this fast, particularly when 65% of my miles are highway.

Treadwear unacceptable. Having worn out three front sets in 46,000 miles, I am going to follow my dealers recommendation and switch to Michelins. Ride was great when the car was new, but XK8 is highly sensitive to tires that are slightly out of round, so have had vibration problems on replacement sets. Recommend having installer check carefully for out of round, and road test above 80 mph after tires are installed.
