Does this tire fit your vehicle?

Tires are designed specifically for different vehicles and wheel sizes. Tell us about your vehicle or the specific size you want so we can help find the right tires for you.

Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) tires are Max Performance Summer tires derived from Pirelli's Formula 1 experience and developed for some of the most exclusive and highest-performing vehicles available. Initially introduced as Original Equipment on the Audi A3 and S3, Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2 and the Porsche Boxster, Cayman and 911, the P Zero (PZ4) includes replacement tire sizes as well as original equipment fitments. 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 (PZ4), like all summer tires, is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Pirelli P Zero (PZ4)Each Original Equipment marked P Zero (PZ4) tire is tailored to the specific application. A special silica and carbon black tread compound can be adjusted according to the vehicle manufacturer's needs to deliver the desired combination of wet or dry grip and handling, comfort, tread life and fuel economy. The tread compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring an outer shoulder that differs based on whether the tire is intended for original equipment use on a sports car or a luxury vehicle, with the sports car's outer shoulder focused on dry handling, grip and lateral stability, while the outer shoulder of a luxury vehicle tire is tuned for improved comfort, noise and lateral hydroplaning resistance. Non-original equipment P Zero (PZ4) tires feature the sports car outer shoulder design, and all versions utilize wide, circumferential grooves for efficient water evacuation and hydroplaning resistance.

The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a hybrid nylon and Kevlar ZeroDegree cap ply. Based on the desired performance characteristics of the original equipment application, the tire casing will be 2-ply polyester or 1- or 2-ply rayon, with either symmetric or asymmetric construction. This customization allows the tire designers to further fine-tune the tire to match the personality of the automobile for which it is engineered.

The specific tread pattern for each size P Zero (PZ4) is identified on the Specs tab, and will be listed as a clarifier when you look at Search Results.

Limited sizes of the P Zero (PZ4) are available with Pirelli's Seal Inside technology. Seal Inside utilizes an adhesive sealant that coats around the base of the embedded object or is drawn through the resulting hole, sealing the punctured area and allowing the vehicle to continue operating without losing air pressure. These sizes are identified on the Specs page and in the search results.

Limited sizes of the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) are available with Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS), 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.

...Quiet ride, great handling in all conditions, great traction in wet, light snow and deeper snow conditions...

These are great tires. After reading reviews and watching the Tire Track video review for SUVs, we purchased these tires aha have been thrilled. We had one of the worst winters here in NJ in over 10 years and the tires were true to the review. Quiet ride, great handling in all conditions, great traction in wet, light snow and deeper snow conditions. Highly recommend for SUV with AWD.

...Whether wet, dry or snowy, these tires are quite good...

I purchased these tires to replace the Bridgestone Alenza tires that came with the car. The OEM tires were nearly shot at 26,000 miles and were basically horrible to begin with. The 2023 Rogue is a comfortable riding CUV but is not particularly "tossable." The Pirelli tires have helped significantly in the handling department. Handling is far more secure and the CUV feels more planted while underway. Steering response is much better and the tires track nicely and now the CUV goes where you point it without any delay. Handling in curves is better but the soft suspension still gets in the way. On the road the tires ride quire smoothly and are fairly quiet over expansion joints. On certain surfaces there is a noticeable hum but that comes with the tread design. Whether wet, dry or snowy, these tires are quite good. I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

...I could climb hills fine but couldn't steer or stop on flat or mild inclines, under power or coasting... Now the Jeep can handle pretty much whatever winter throws at it just like I expected. I can jam on the brakes going downhill in 6 inches of snow and the ABS slows quickly to a stop; hard turns in snow-covered parking lots, up and down snowy hills, no issues.

Buying Pirelli Scorpions kept me from getting rid of my 2022 Jeep. The Friday evening before I ordered these from Tire Rack, I had a hair-raising drive through wet snow storm dropping 6- to 8-inch in an hour on OEM Bridgestone tires. This was more a failure of those tires than anything. I could climb hills fine but couldn't steer or stop on flat or mild inclines, under power or coasting. Had Jeep check the ABS brakes out, no issues. Never had a Tahoe act this way. Anyway, I ordered the Scorpions after researching them at Tire Rack seeing the great test ratings and feedback.
I've been running them through their paces in the snow and rain ever since. Now the Jeep can handle pretty much whatever winter throws at it just like I expected. I can jam on the brakes going downhill in 6 inches of snow and the ABS slows quickly to a stop; hard turns in snow-covered parking lots, up and down snowy hills, no issues. Only once did I slip taking a bend in the snow on some ice. Still have the Jeep, don't worry about snow or rain anymore.

...This year, we had 2 feet of snow and icy roads due to sub zero temps for several weeks in a row. Had ZERO issues with traction... Drove through 6 inches of unplowed snow with no problems...

Had this tire for over 2 years on my 2015 BMW X5 with aftermarket rims. I live in New York City so the roads are not great after rough winters with plenty of snow. This year, we had 2 feet of snow and icy roads due to sub zero temps for several weeks in a row. Had ZERO issues with traction. The four wheel drive helps of course. And assuming you are completely flooring it in snow and ice, these tires are amazing for all-seasons. Drove through 6 inches of unplowed snow with no problems. In the rain, they are equally as great. My wheels are a little louder than most simply because of my aftermarket rims. But these tires are good with noise and would likely be much better if I went back to my 18s. Overall, I am very pleased. Perform like good summers and winters. Best all-seasons you can find.

This tire is very good in the snow, as I have driven in two separate storms in Upstate New York. They build confidence in slushy conditions and are fantastic on dry pavement. They are not noisy, and I recommend them for anyone not wanting to worry about swapping snow tires in the winter and all seasons in the summer.

I’m very pleased with the Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive. Ride comfort is excellent, with firm grip and sure handling. Today I revved up and slammed on the brakes on a completely iced-over parking lot, and the tires gripped well and brought the Q5 to a stop quickly, with no yawing or loss of control. Overall, I think the tires are as good as advertised.

Comfortable ride, grips the road well in snow, rain or dry conditions...

Comfortable ride , grips the road well in snow,rain or dry conditions. I've been driving 40+ years, many different types of vehicles, and varied weather conditions. My driving habits average, and mileage definitely above average. When buying tires, I've always looked for an expected level of safety, comfort and durability. I spent time researching various brands/tires that would seem a good fit for the 4-season road conditions I drive in. I found the information and ratings provided by Tire Rack very helpful. My purchase was handled very smooth and professionally and delivery was quick and as promised. I have purchased from you in the past as well. I will reach out to Tire Rack again in the future.

...I've had them rotated twice and the treadwear still looks really good...

This is my first set of Pirelli's. I bought them because I thought they would work well on my '23 Tiguan with 4Motion. And they are awesome!! I've had them rotated twice and the treadwear still looks really good. It's nice to find a tire that you can be confident with when the weather gets bad. I live in west central Wisconsin and we get it all here! I'm not sure about 2 wheel drive with these but I have seen other non AWD with these on so they must do good as well. I hope they keep making these!!
