Our take

The Pirelli P Zero PZ4 Sport is an excellent choice for drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling. With perfect scores in both dry grip and handling, it outperforms the category averages, making it a top pick for spirited driving. The 60,000-mile treadwear warranty is a standout feature, significantly exceeding the category average, which suggests a longer lifespan despite its performance focus.

In the ultra-high performance summer category, dry grip and handling are paramount, and the PZ4 Sport excels in these areas. However, its wet grip score of 7 is below the category average of 7.6, which could be a drawback for those who frequently drive in wet conditions. Comfort and noise levels are average, which is typical for a tire in this performance segment.

When compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, the PZ4 Sport offers superior treadlife but falls short in wet grip. The Pilot Sport 4S might be a better option for those who need balanced performance in both dry and wet conditions. Overall, the PZ4 Sport is best suited for performance enthusiasts who prioritize dry handling and are willing to trade some wet weather capability for longer treadlife.

If wet grip is a priority, consider the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for better all-around performance in varying conditions. Choose the PZ4 Sport if dry grip and longevity are your main concerns.

Pros

  • Top dry grip and handling scores of 10, surpassing the category average of 8.7, making it ideal for spirited driving.
  • Treadwear warranty of 60,000 miles is significantly higher than the category average of 37,754 miles, offering more longevity.
  • Comfort score matches the category average, which is decent for an ultra-high performance tire focused on grip.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is below average, making it less suitable for those needing confidence 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.
  • Noise level is average at 6.5, which might be noticeable on longer drives compared to quieter competitors.
  • The Michelin Pilot Sport 4S offers better wet grip, making it a stronger choice for those prioritizing all-weather performance.
