πŸ’‘ Is the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 245/40R21 a Good Tire?

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 245/40R21 is a summer max performance tire designed for high-performance luxury sedans and sports cars. It delivers strong dry grip and precise steering response with capable wet performance thanks to its asymmetric tread design and advanced silica compound. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise, as expected from a performance-focused tire. Tread life is below average for daily driving, prioritizing grip over longevity. Rated Good by TireRack based on 530 consumer surveys, it excels on track and spirited drives but is not winter-rated and may feel harsh for everyday commuting. Currently priced from $1037.27, it is available through major online tire retailers.

"Built for high-performance drivers who demand razor-sharp handling and grip on dry pavement. Expect shorter tread life and higher replacement costs due to the soft compound."
