Pirelli PZERO Rosso dependable Good performer. Handle corners well. Bulge in wall is main cause for replacement. There was still tread available. Tyres on car when purchased 2nd hand (I have driven approximately 3-4,000kms). Total kms with these tyres unknown.

Would buy this tyre again.

Pirelli Goodness The tyres perform well. I find no problem in trusting the tyres in any on road condition. They corner well and the wear is good. I would not use them off road. The car performs better on these than previous brand. Worth the money.

Would buy this tyre again.

Factory Mustang Tyres? Meh.. Borderline dangerous! Got 30000k's out of them on my Mustang, which apparently is some kind of miracle. But my driving is 100km per day of freeway with cruise control on. Almost undriveable for the first 10-15mins when cold, like a dog on lino!! Once warm, grip was o.k. ...

Grippy 245/40/17 tyre for BMW E46 but wears very quickly - recommend if you get a good price, otherw I bought these to replace Sumitomo HTR ZII s for my BMW 316TI E46.

I bought these to replace Sumitomo HTR ZII s for my BMW 316TI E46. Got a good price from an Australian seller via eBay (International Tyre Trader) so decided to give them a go. Note that the E46 is a rear-wheel drive and when using 17 it s a staggered fitment (225/45/17 on front, 245/40/17 on rear) so tyre rotation is not possible. I got them for under $200 per tyre which is pretty good value for a Pirelli. Retail is around the $300 mark. First the good: quiet tyre when new, reasonable grip in both wet and dry, felt very stable. Could not fault grip in dry or wet under normal driving conditions. Wore evenly across whole tyre section. Decent braking performance in both wet and dry (however I only to emergency brake in the dry). Felt quite stable under even hard braking. Now the not-so-good: compared to the previous tyre (Sumitomo HTR ZIII, see separate review), these really didn t feel any better. They also tram-tracked, no better and no worse than the Sumitomos. They didn t really seem to offer any more feedback than the Sumitomos. Once they wore down, they got really hard and noisy. Just turning across white lines on the road would evoke tyre squeal. Ride when worn feels harsh, harsher than when new. (Caveat: I did not do any extreme driving so cannot comment about on the limit handling). Finally the bad: These tyres are SOFT. Wore out within 15,000km, this is with normal commuting in <80km/h zones with a few weekend trips and maybe 1,500km of spirited driving on roads like Tawonga Gap and Black Spur. So definitely no hard take-offs, wheels spins, track days or anything silly. The only other set of tyres I wore so quickly was a set of Pirelli P5000 Drago s back in the 1990 s on my Mitsubishi GSR Galant (2.0L front wheel drive). All my other tyres (Bridgestone RE-010, Potenza GIII, Adrenalin RE002, Goodyear Eagle F1, none of which are touring or long-lasting tyres) have lasted at least 45,000 - 50,000km. So these are by far the softest, fastest-wearing tyres I ve ever driven on. Conclusion: If you can get these sub $200, and don t mind replacing every 15,000km, then go ahead.They offer decent grip, handling, performance and braking, but poor bang-for-buck. They just don t last. I will NOT be replacing them with another Pirelli.

Would buy this tyre again.

Good, but wont buy again Grips very well, gets really noisy towards the end of life. I think i get only about 25-30 thou kms, which is below average. Stiff wall but bearable. It is designed to be a performance tyres, so you get max performance, but shorter life. I would not ...

Excellent quality for price The quality is high as expected and tyres run very smoothly, no roll and the car sits much better on the road. The extra strength in the tyre wall is especially welcome given my learner driver kids! Previous tyres had a lot of road noise which has b ...

Excellent Top product, excellent performance and surprisingly good wear. Car was delivered with these tyres and they are obviously well suited to the vehicle (Alfa Romeo GT). We will definitely stay with them.

Terrible The grip on the Rosso tyres was fantastic, but even after being fussy with alignment, pressures and rotation of tyres I only got 21,000km s. Would not buy. Similar opinion? Write a review!

Bad Overall a pretty good tyre performance wise, but when you consider how much they were, I believe about $220 (on special) 3 years ago, I expected greater results. The noise was very intrusive and got worse as the life went on. They are designed to ... Similar opinion? Write a review!

so smooth I drive on the highway every day to and from work and feel very safe with these tires. My old tires used to spin in wet weather without getting traction after stopping at a traffic light, which was really concerning. These tires have a very firm gri ...
