πŸ’‘ Is the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 285/30R21 a Good Tire?

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 285/30R21 is a summer max performance tire designed for high-performance sports cars and luxury vehicles with large wheel packages. It delivers strong dry grip and responsive wet handling thanks to its asymmetric tread design and specialized compound technology. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise due to the low-profile construction prioritizing performance over refinement. Tread life is below average for its category, as the soft compounds that enable maximum grip wear more quickly than touring tires. Rated Good by TireRack based on 530 consumer surveys, it excels in warm-weather performance driving but is not suitable for temperatures below 45Β°F. Currently priced from $252.98, it is available through major online tire retailers.
