P Zero tires are Max Performance Summer tires derived from 100 years of Pirelli motorsport experience and developed for the drivers of powerful sports cars, sports coupes and high performance luxury sedans. Initially introduced as Original Equipment on the Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murcielago, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT and Mercedes-Benz AMG vehicles, the P Zero lineup also includes select replacement tire sizes. 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, like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
P Zero tires feature a special silica and carbon black tread compound that proves competent during the first few miles of driving when the tire is still cold, as well as consistent performance throughout the tire's life. The tread compound is molded into Pirelli's S-treme asymmetric design in which the location and width of the circumferential and lateral grooves minimize deformation to blend responsive handling, hydroplaning resistance and wet traction with dry road performance, even wear and acoustic comfort. Special nano-composites in the compound beneath the tread protect the casing from deterioration and merge sport handling with ride comfort. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by polyamide cord plies and an integration of nylon and aramid cord that controls tire profile deformation and stabilizes the tread area to enhance high-speed capability and handling.
Limited sizes of the P Zero are available with Pirelli Noise Cancelling System, which involves the manufacturer adhering a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire to reduce cabin noise in the vehicle. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.
El P Zero pertenece al segmento: Máximo Rendimiento Para Verano y es el resultado de más de 100 años de experiencia de Pirelli en el automovilismo deportivo (motorsport). Fue desarrollado para conductores de autos deportivos poderosos, cupés deportivos y sedanes de lujo de alto desempeño. Se introdujo inicialmente como equipo original (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés) en el Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murciélago, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT y los Mercedes-Benz AMG, pero la línea también incluye gran cantidad de tamaños de repuestos. La garantía de Pirelli no cubre neumáticos que han desarrollado grietas debido a su uso en temperaturas ambientales por debajo de 45º Fahrenheit (7º Celsius) y como todo neumático de verano, el P Zero, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
El P Zero presenta un compuesto de caucho con un sílice especial y carbón negro, que permiten que el neumático ofrezca todas las características de desempeño constantemente, aunque este frío y durante su vida útil. Este compuesto es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño S-treme asimétrico de Pirelli, en el cual, la ubicación y anchura de las ranuras laterales y circunferenciales disminuyen la deformación; permitiendo combinar maniobrabilidad responsiva, resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y tracción sobre superficies mojadas, con, rendimiento sobre superficies secas, desgaste parejo y andar silencioso. Compuestos especiales nano en la mezcla de caucho debajo de la banda de rodamiento, protegen el armazón de deterioro, además de combinar maniobrabilidad deportiva con un andar confortable.
La estructura interna incluye correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con una capa de cordón de poliamida y una mezcla de cordón de nailon y aramid, para controlar la deformación del flanco y estabilizar el área debajo de la banda de rodamiento, esto permite mejorar la maniobrabilidad y capacidad, al conducir a velocidades elevadas.
El P Zero con el sistema “Noise Cancelling” de Pirelli, se encuentra disponible en tamaños limitados. Esta tecnología adhiere una capa de espuma, que absorbe sonidos en el interior del neumático, para reducir el ruido en la cabina del vehículo. Los tamaños con esta tecnología están identificados en las páginas de Especificaciones y en los resultados de búsqueda.

Tire Rack Test Results Pirelli P Zero
Clash of the Titans: Testing Two New Max Performance Summer Heavy Hitters(03:38)
Recently, two titans in the tire world launched new Max Performance Summer tires: Bridgestone and their Potenza S-04 Pole Position and Michelin with the Pilot Super Sport. Both are long-awaited replacements for very capable and popular products from each brand.
How do they compare to the other heavy hitters in the category?
User feedback reveals the Pirelli P Zero excels in dry traction, with scores often reaching 9-10 for confident cornering and precise handling. Wet traction also earns praise (7-10 range), offering reliable grip in rain, though a few note reduced hydroplaning resistance in heavy downpours. Comfort receives positive marks for ride quality, but noise levels show mixed feedback, with some reporting noticeable road hum. Treadwear scores (0-8) highlight concerns about durability, with many users noting a shorter lifespan than expected. As a max-performance summer tire, it delivers strong results in its intended categories, though aggressive drivers may prioritize its dynamic handling over long-term wear.

...Overall a great tire that performs well in all types of wet/dry conditions.
Got a set for the rear of my F Type R at a huge close out discount. These are the OEM tires and while I looked at some others, the price point on these was just too good to pass up. Overall a great tire that performs well in all types of wet/dry conditions.

...superb G force cornering, blistering road handling and amazing wet traction... when you do slip, predictability of this tire is amazing (using traction control in sporty mode) voila !! this wont be your long lasting tire for sure but, it will keep you safe on wet road and get you back home...
this is the tire that comes stock on the Camaro 2014 2SS RS(V8), well...I must say the engineers at Pirelli and, Chevy really did their homework. Balance between superb G force cornering, blistering road handling and amazing wet traction. there is a G force meter on the Camaro HUD (Heads up display)and I have recorded 0.91G on concrete and no slip. However, when you do slip, predictability of this tire is amazing (using traction control in sporty mode) voila !! this wont be your long lasting tire for sure but, it will keep you safe on wet road and get you back home. Enjoy!

Solid tire with good all around performance. Handles great on wet roads. Hard to find as no local tire dealers seem to stock the tire. Wears faster than I would like, but the traction is great.

Customers overwhelmingly rate the Pirelli P Zero's dry traction as excellent, with most scoring 9s and 10s. High marks highlight exceptional grip, precise cornering, and responsive handling, making it a standout choice for summer driving where confident dry-road performance is critical.

These tires are amazing. Each lap I increased my speed and could tell when I was reaching the edge, but these tires never let go...
These tires came stock on my new car. I previously had the older P Zeros Pirellis on my 2007 911 and did not really like them. They were fast wearing and did not let you know when you where getting close to losing traction. I replaced them with Michelin Super Sports and truly love these tires. I still have them on my 2007 (now my wife's car). I recently took my car to Miller Motorsports Park for a PCA driving event. The salesman who sold me the car (Daniel Eastman, an actual race car driver (see him in the video with Jan Leno and the Porsche 918)) said I should give these tires a try. I was very surprised. These tires are amazing. Each lap I increased my speed and could tell when I was reaching the edge, but these tires never let go. To make an actual comparison with the new Michelins, I would need to have two identical cars. That's not going to happen. I do recommend these tires. When these wear out (I bought the car mid-December) I will replace them with the Michelins and then I can make a better evaluation.

...Even on corners with rough road surfaces, the Pirellis don't skip and neither lose traction and the cornering grip is always fenomenal. With an aggressive alignment setup there is simply no understeer, in my BMW...
I've bought these tires (225/40 front, 255/35 rear - 18inch weels) for my BMW e92 Coupe to replace the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Runflats. I run these tires with 36 PSI (2.5 bar) front and 37PSI (2.55 bar)rear pressure (cold), 0deg40' camber front, 0mm total toe front, 1deg30' camber rear, +1mm total toe rear. There is simply night and day difference between the Pirellis and the Bridgestones, especially in therms of "road feel" and both dry and wet grip. Bridgestones had the best steering response (they were runflat) but the Pirellis gives you more feedback and are easier to drive to the limit because you can hear a bit of tire's "squealing" before they abandon you. Even on corners with rough road surfaces, the Pirellis don't skip and neither lose traction and the cornering grip is always fenomenal. With an aggressive alignment setup there is simply no understeer, in my BMW. Sidewall is still stiff enough for accurate driving, and tirewear seems good. Pirellis doesn't need as much as time as the Bridgestones to get warmed, but the tire performance -with appropriate tires pressure- lasts very long and doesn't drop during an "insane street session". Finally, there is a bit of tire noise but I don't really care about this. Phenomenal Max Performance tire...

...Daily driving situation: these tires provide quiet and comfort ride compared to regular all-season tires. No wonder these tires are used on luxury performance vehicles; Audi,BMW, Benz, Aston Martin, etc...
First of all, I don't understand why anyone would give bad rating after using these tires on cold/snow covered road. That's just nonsense. I'm only using this tire in Summer and have taken to few track days with my S4. It doesn't provide the best grip, but it was manageable and predictable. Daily driving situation: these tires provide quiet and comfort ride compared to regular all-season tires. No wonder these tires are used on luxury performance vehicles; Audi,BMW, Benz, Aston Martin, etc. For OEM tires, these are very good tires. If you want to sustain OEM ride, I'd recommend using these tires.

...The problem I am having (and a good problem at that) is that this car is so good, I'm not sure if the cornering stability, steering responsiveness and ride comfort is more the car or the tires. Noise level is non existent since I have a modified exhaust but I'll be sure to monitor as the miles accumulate...
I have a little less than 3,000 miles on these tires that came as OEM on my 2012 BMW M3 Coupe Competition Package. To be honest, I haven't been able to test the limits of the tires yet, except for a few cornering exhibitions when DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) is off, resulting in lots of understeer. Most of my normal driving is city with the occasional highway, but spirited nonetheless. It's starting to get cold now so the tires do take a little time to warm up in the morning, as with every Summer Performance Tire. The problem I am having (and a good problem at that) is that this car is so good, I'm not sure if the cornering stability, steering responsiveness and ride comfort is more the car or the tires. Noise level is non existent since I have a modified exhaust but I'll be sure to monitor as the miles accumulate. I don't have any complaints on these tires as of yet. Wet traction seems to be good, and no problems with hydroplaning. Treadwear won't be an issue to after 10K miles but so far, no unusual wear patterns and tread is even. Based upon the early review, I am happy with them.
Vehicle: 2012 BMW M3 Coupe Competition Package Miles Driven on Tires: 2,945 Driving Conditions: Combined Highway/City Location: Rumson, NJ Driving Style: Spirited
Despite some high scores (9s-10s), many rate treadwear between 0-6. Frequent reports of premature wear, rapid degradation, and needing early replacement. Customers express disappointment in tread life, with excessive wear noted even within summer tire expectations.
