πŸ’‘ 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.

About This Tire

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 285/40R21 costs $500.98 per tire and earns a Good overall rating from TireRack with 530 survey ratings. This Max Performance Summer tire delivers excellent dry performance (9.1/10) and good wet performance (8.2/10), making it ideal for high-performance vehicles. Derived from Pirelli's Formula 1 experience, the P Zero (PZ4) was originally developed as Original Equipment for premium vehicles including the Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2, Porsche 911, and Audi A3/S3.

The tire features an advanced silica and carbon black tread compound molded into an asymmetric design with wide circumferential grooves for water evacuation. Its internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a hybrid nylon and Kevlar ZeroDegree cap ply, with select sizes available featuring Pirelli's Noise Cancelling System (PNCS) and Seal Inside puncture-sealing technology. However, with a fair treadwear rating of 6.3/10 and no manufacturer treadwear warranty, this tire prioritizes performance over longevity.

"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."
