Pirelli  P Zero System (Collezione)

Tires were originally installed by the dealer (N3 spec model for Porsche). Rears lasted 14,000 miles which included 2 DE events, and was longer than the Porsche dealer expected given the track time. I found the traction was fantastic, very predictable on the track. When driving on the track in the wet they were predictable, and when combined with the AWD on the car I was able to do fairly agressive driving on a wet, and slick surface. I found the car to have essentially infinite grip on the street, I dont think there is any way to max out these tires in any safe way on the street. They seem a bit noisy, but not noticeably so.



I have noticed no tram-lining problems with these tires or this car.



As they wore down I noticed very little loss of traction, except in the rain with strong crosswinds, then the car felt a bit light.



Definitely buying again because the car has a tire/wheel warrantee that requires the N-Spec tire, and these were good enough that Ill pay for these tires to keep that warrantee. Will be moving to track tires for future DE events to extend the life of my street tires.

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.

These are some of the best tires that I have owned! they perform the same whether it be in Wet or Dry conditions. Very satisfied with this tire and would Most definately purchase these again!

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've had two sets of these tires on the XKR and i would say that they're the stickiest tires on the market. it's not a problem to go about 90 miles an hour on an on-ramp in the dry, and still have lots of sticky left in them. I did have a flat once, and didn't notice it, and drove on a flat tire at highway speeds for about ten miles. the sidewalls on these tries are so durable that the tire was absolutely toast, but the rim on the car didn't have a mark, wasn't bent or anything. these tires are great!

this is my 3rd 335/35/17 set on the rear of my corvette ,super traction in dry

and the Hydroplaning Resistance is superrior

normally i could not go above 120 kmh in rain

now i can drive any speed i want

tread wear is also good due to the hard compond

super tire buy it again

in fact i did buy my 4th set

o yeah in front i`ve got goodyear eagle f1`s

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.

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.

An outstanding blend of noise and road comfort combined with high performance that is hard to equal in just about any other max performance tire. The closest to it is Pirelli's own PZero Rosso, which wears even faster (despite having a higher UTQG). Both axles fitted with Asymmetric, since Quattro AWD. For a heavy, powerful, near-luxury sedan, I appreciate the supple driving dynamics as much as the cornering and braking performance. We fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sports to our A-4 2.0 S-Line, in nearly the same size (235/40-18 versus 255/40-18). In comparison, the PSS have higher limits, react immediately to control inputs, and have a slightly harsher ride -- perfect for a car with sport suspension. Still, I love the silky ride the PZeros deliver on this larger, standard suspension Audi sedan. I can see why Jaguar (previously) fitted them as OEM on several of their performance models.

You'll note that we live (and drive) in Vermont. No one up here is foolish enough to run either the PZero or PSS in the winter months. These are tucked away in the garage from late-October until right about now (May). The Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II has been a revelation: a true performance winter tire that actually works in bitter cold, in snow, and on icy roads. But that's for another review....

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 feel and very responsive. So far they are not as loud as I was expecting based on comments on this website. Much better than the stock Bridgestone RE92s. Ive also tried the Sumitomo HTRZ II which stuck like glue but had so much sidewall flex that it ruined the cornering. The downside is that they wear very fast. About half of the front tires are gone.

I'm on the second set of rear tires and have only gotten 7800 miles from this set. I do not drive very agressively and am very disappointed in the wear of the rear Asimmetricos. Have the Direzionales on the front and still have about 3000mi of tread life left (22500 miles). Once the tire reaches about 1/2 tread life there seems to be very little hydroplaning resistance. They corner like glue however but the rapid tread wear of the rears is unacceptable. If money is no object you can glue yourself to the road with these.
