Pirelli P Zero Nero Tire Review
Max Performance Summer UTQG Ratings Treadwear 220 Traction AA Temperature A
Ne' ro means black in Italian, and this tire is one black Italian stallion. The P Zero Nero incorporates a silica and carbon black enhanced tread compound to enhance grip and steering while enforcing the tread pattern and sidewalls.
If you click on the tire's image to the left, you can see the P Zero Nero's tread pattern in greater detail. A unique leaf - like design provides extra traction while channeling water to the outside of the tire. This decreases the chance of hydroplaning, and improves performance in wet road conditions. The Pirelli P Zero Nero is a ferocious performance summer tire that is not to be driven in winter conditions such as snow and ice. Because it does not contain sipes for winter traction, the tire performs much more smoothly in dry and wet conditions. Tested: When tested on the track, the Pirelli P Zero Nero tires provided a low noise level and smooth ride for a performance tire. As expected, the handling (in both dry and wet conditions) was excellent. When pushed to the max, these tires gripped well when cornering and braking. With performance tires such as this it is normal for the tread to wear more quickly than with more traditional tires. This is one of the trade offs for better grip and performance.
Conclusion:
The Pirelli P Zero Nero is one of the best summer high performance tires to date. If you are looking for better steering response and handling (and can afford to spend a few extra bucks) I would highly recommend this tire. The price ranges from $139 to $382 depending on size, which is a great value for this tire.
