Not every driver has the same priorities. Adjust the category weightings above to re-rank the tyres based on what matters most to your driving style.
Scores are colour-coded from red (weakest) through yellow to green (strongest) to help you quickly spot each tyre's strengths and weaknesses.
The original test ranking is shown in the # column. Arrows indicate how each tyre moves when your custom weighting is applied.
Maybe im not reading it right but on each graph how can you tell which tyre is which ? I cannot see any names on the left hand side ?
Sorry, there was an error with the database. This has now been fixed :)
In your listing (& with other tests like the AutoBild one), would you be able to make clear whether the "L" or "S" version of the PZ4 is being tested. (In each case, the picture is of the "L" version, which seems implausible.) I also suggest a quite separate PZ4 review page to avoid confusion with past generation P Zeros.
It's a good suggestion and something we've been meaning to do, it's just working out the best way of doing so.
Pirelli haven't done anyone any favours with the P Zero PZ4 naming!
Two observations, both wet braking focused:
First, the T001 has clearly undergone some mid-life modification of some sort (compounding?).
Second, note that the R888R is slightlybetter than the estimable SC5. It seems to me to be the pick of the track day tyres despite its reported wet handling nervousness (which could probably be ameliorated by some judicious tyre pressure tuning of the handling balance).
We suspect the T001 tested is the T001 EVO which has had a significant mid life update and now has wet grip. Just waiting for confirmation, Bridgestone confused the matter by not printing EVO on the sidewall of the new tyre, just the label.
yep
(it was never bad laterally but braking in the wet seemed decidedly weak in most tests)
now all they have to do is make the tread stabler under lateral load in the dry
what's your unpacking of the "nervous" wet handling comment on the R888R?
Eh?
The Cup 2 scored higher than the R888R & the Trofeo R, yet it came 3rd??? Please explain...
An extreme weighting on the dry scoring.
I'm not sure I agree either, but this is Sport Autos test.
Ah, ok. Thanks...
