Pirelli's Collezione tires are designed for classic automobiles. Using modern materials and manufactured to original specifications, these tires preserve the vehicle's driving character and provide period-correct aesthetics.

The P Zero System (Collezione) is Pirelli's Max Performance Summer tire system offering the possibility of selecting from two different tire designs tuned to be used separately or in unison depending on the type of car, driving conditions and driving style. Designed to heighten performance in the dry and especially in the wet, P Zero System (Collezione) tires were originally developed for some of the world's fastest cars, such as Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Porsche.

The P Zero System (Collezione)'s two different options include the P Zero System (Collezione) Asimmetrico and P Zero System (Collezione) Direzionale. P Zero System (Collezione) Asimmetrico all-position or rear-axle tires feature an asymmetrical tread design to focus on transmitting torque to the road with specialized features enhancing cornering power. P Zero System (Collezione) Direzionale front position tires feature a directional tread design to focus on hydroplaning resistance and wet surface road holding for cars fitted with wide section width front tires. Both tires' internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with nylon cap plies on top of a rayon carcass to blend responsive handling with high-speed durability.

Configuration Options:

Asymmetric Front and Rear
This configuration is particularly suited where dry surface performance outweighs the demand for resistance to hydroplaning during high-speed road and/or track use. This configuration is well suited to cars with medium to narrow section front tires and is a must for front-engine front-wheel and four-wheel drive cars.

Directional Front and Asymmetrical Rear
This configuration is particularly suited to mid- or rear-engine cars, front engine or rear-drive axle cars with wide wheels and tires for high-speed use in variable wet and dry conditions.

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 System (Collezione) tires, like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Pirelli Reviews

Customer ratings showcase the Pirelli P Zero System (Collezione) as a strong performer for classic road use, with comfort receiving praise for a smooth, quiet ride despite some variability in scores (5-10). Dry traction stands out as a highlight, earning consistent 7-10 ratings for confident handling and grip, aligning well with classic vehicle needs. Wet traction scores (5-10) reflect generally reliable performance, though a few note reduced grip in heavy rain-less critical for classics often stored in dry conditions. Treadwear scores (0-10) show mixed feedback, with some concerns about longevity, though many acknowledge classic tires typically age out before wearing down due to limited mileage.

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.

...VERY sticky in the dry, which is what I was looking for...

I LOVE these tires. Much better than the stock Goodyear F1 EMT's. Had some Dunlop 8000's, but they weren't anything to rave about. Tread wore fast on the 8000's. The PZero Asyms come with more tread than most Hi-Perf tires. VERY sticky in the dry, which is what I was looking for. I'm sure these are as close as you can get to the MXX3's that everyone used to love. Never have had any problems in the rain in rainy S. Florida. I feel safe, but do take it easy in the rain and leave traction control on in the rain. Ferrari, Lamborghini & Porsche can't all be wrong. Just bought a 2nd set and am switch to 335/30-18's on a widened wheel. LOVE 'EM! I see no reason to try the Pilots. Too bad KD's aren't made in a 335 or I might try them. No complaints. Tread wear is amazingly good! Currently 450HP and putting new SC'd engine, expecting 650HP and trust my life to good tires.

...Difference from previous BFG tires was significant- better feel, much better cornering, quieter...

Wow! I like these tires. TR delivered early to local dealer who mounted them. Difference from previous BFG tires was significant- better feel, much better cornering, quieter. They feel a little "heavier" due to softer compound and that is not a dig at them, just different. I'm looking forward to a road trip to further evaluate in different conditions.

...Overall, very nice balance of comfort and performance... 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.

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.

...For a heavy, powerful, near-luxury sedan, I appreciate the supple driving dynamics as much as the cornering and braking performance... Still, I love the silky ride the PZeros deliver on this larger, standard suspension Audi sedan...

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....

...On the street they offer comfort and low noise...

I have used this tire for about 4 track days (Watkins Glen) and 2 autocross days, in addition to a few thousand miles of on the street driving in NY city. I could not be happier with the chioce. On the track the tires give great feedback and hold up to aggressive driving. The performance envelope is huge and I have tracked them in hot weather and rainy weather without any issues.
On the street they offer comfort and low noise. Highly recommended over cheaper brands.

...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.

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.

...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.

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.

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.
