π‘ Is the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 285/40R21 a Good Tire?
The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 285/40R21 is a summer max performance tire designed for high-performance SUVs and luxury crossovers. It delivers strong dry grip and responsive wet handling thanks to its asymmetric tread design and advanced silica compound technology. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise, prioritizing handling precision over refinement. Tread life is below average for its category, as expected from a performance-focused tire. Rated Good by TireRack based on 530 consumer surveys, it excels in spirited driving but is not winter-rated and wears faster than touring alternatives. Currently priced from $511.5, it is available through major online tire retailers.

TirePath Editorial Review
"A solid pick for aggressive drivers who demand razor-sharp handling on dry pavement and track days. Expect to replace these sooner than touring tires due to the softer performance compound."
