Our take

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) is well-suited for drivers who prioritize wet grip in their ultra high performance summer tires. With a wet grip score of 9, it surpasses the category average, making it a reliable choice for those frequently driving in rainy conditions. However, its dry grip score of 8 is below the category average of 8.7, which might not satisfy drivers seeking the highest dry performance.

The tire's comfort and noise levels are on par with the category averages, offering a balanced ride without sacrificing too much in terms of everyday usability. The absence of a treadwear warranty is a notable drawback, especially when competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S provide a 30k-mile warranty. This could affect the long-term cost of ownership for those who drive extensively.

The P Zero (PZ4) stands out for its wet performance but falls short in dry grip and warranty coverage compared to rivals. It is best avoided by those who demand maximum dry grip and a warranty-backed lifespan. Instead, consider the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S for a more comprehensive package with stronger dry grip and a treadwear warranty.

Pros

  • Wet grip score of 9 exceeds the ultra high performance summer category average of 7.6, making it a strong performer in rainy conditions.
  • Dry grip and handling both score 8, which aligns well with the category's focus on performance driving.
  • Comfort and noise scores match the category averages, ensuring a balanced ride for an ultra high performance tire.

Cons

  • The lack of a treadwear warranty could be a concern for buyers looking for a guaranteed lifespan from their performance tires.
  • No treadwear warranty, unlike competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which offers a 30k-mile warranty.
  • Dry grip score of 8 falls short of the category average of 8.7, which might be noticeable for those pushing the limits on dry roads.
  • Speed rating of 'R' is unusual for this category, where higher speed ratings are typically expected.
