Our take

The Pirelli P Zero PZ4 Sport NCS is designed for drivers who value dry grip and handling response above all else. With a dry grip score of 9 and handling also at 9, it meets the expectations of performance enthusiasts looking for sharp cornering and road feedback. Its treadlife score of 9 is impressive for its category, suggesting a longer lifespan than many ultra-high performance summer tires.

While it excels in dry conditions, the PZ4 Sport NCS falls short in wet grip, with a score of 7 compared to the category average of 7.6. This could be a drawback for those who encounter frequent wet weather. Additionally, the absence of a treadwear warranty might deter buyers who seek assurance on longevity, especially when competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S might offer such guarantees.

Compared to its competitors, the PZ4 Sport NCS offers strong dry performance but at a higher price point without a clear advantage over the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4). Buyers who prioritize wet performance might find the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S more appealing. Overall, this tire is best suited for those who drive primarily in dry conditions and want a tire that can handle spirited driving with ease.

Pros

  • Dry grip score of 9 surpasses the category average of 8.7, making it a strong choice for spirited driving.
  • Handling is rated at 9, aligning with the demands of performance enthusiasts who prioritize sharp response.
  • Treadlife score of 9 is notably high for an ultra-high performance summer tire, suggesting longer usage before replacement.

Cons

  • Limited wet grip performance could be a concern for those frequently driving in rainy conditions.
  • Wet grip score of 7 falls short of the category average of 7.6, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • No treadwear warranty provided, unlike some competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which may offer more assurance on longevity.
  • The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) offers a similar performance profile but at a potentially lower cost, making the PZ4 Sport NCS a pricier option without clear additional benefits.
