Just reviewed the front tyres below in 225/40/19 as the rears are 275/35/19 due to the BMW staggered set up and as below very good tyres and after 11k the rears are down to just under 5mm.
No issues with the tyres in the wet or dry, they seem to be wearing well and evenly and should last 20-25k.

These tyres have done 11k now mainly Motorway and Country lanes and the fronts have worn down to 5mm all round.
Excellent dry and wet grip and although they are Run Flat i find them very comfortable, an very good tyre imho.

Tyre fitted from new MO and just manage to get 13000 miles. Also changed the front which are still legal with 3mm but wearing bad on the edge. Checked alignment and tyre pressure often. This is the second set of Pirelli P Zero that has let me down. Some budget tyres do much better than this MO tyre.

Very noisy tyre, granted my tyres are wide, but I have a colleagues with same car as mine and Goodyear's on and it is a completely different beast altogether. Weimar is also an issue. Other than that it's a good tyre.

Fitted to my VW Arteon ex showroom.
Extremely noisy on sibbed roads. I mean EXREMELY NOISY. Impossible to hear and car seems ready to disintegrate.
Minor joints in the tarmax feel and sound like potholes.

This tire provide very high grip on dry surfaces. Mounted on a FWD coupe that pulls 260+cv well known for having a poor traction. With previous tires (Hankook Ventus prime 2) it was impossible to get enough grip in first gear, even on a perfect straight line
With these pirellis it did'nt spun once ! Lateral grip is just great (better than pilot sport 4 i've also tested). Turns speeds became quite terrifying.
The only drawback is wear : at 7000 km only 2 mm of treadwear left but i run a massive ammount of neg camber so it was more or less expected.

the tyre will grip in first 2000 kilos like hill very powerful grip and by the time the grip will start to get weaker and weaker but still a very good tyre to buy and I will buy it again!

Bought 4 new tyres for my 607 2.7 hdi
Which is a comfi car of 1800 kg
I life in the south of France and commute 160 km a day on the highway.
Since it is almost never wet I could not be bordered with that.
Comming from my LingLong Greenmax I had money to spend so I bought these pirelli's at 178 a piece. ( mounted )
It always a nice feeling to treat youself and nowing you have got one of the best tyres beneath you.
They look nice to.
Ok a sporty tyre would be more uncomforable but these made a lot of noise.
Yes steering was direct and even at high ( 180 ) speed it was a solid.
Under breaking every thing was great to.
Nice feedback about grip, there is on corner near Aix en Provence where you can test this and it stays stable until high speed.
Tyre wear is more than expected, did 40k and have 3.5 mm left.
Had no failures nor had to balanced again so I had a carefree year.
But they started to make more and more noise so I changed them today.
Bought 4 new Linglongs at 65 euro's mounted
Finaly silence and ease back in my car.
For that money the best tyre for me and my car.

Gouged the sidewall on a nearly new Goodyear F1 while negotiating a narrow lane in Devon, Pirelli was the only quality alternative available. Plenty of dry grip but not so good in the wet. worn out after 10K, abysmal. The Goodyear F1 on the same axle was about half worn despite 2000 more miles. Won't ever buy Pirelli again, not a patch on the F1 for mileage and not that hot on grip.

After running Michelin Pilot sport for 4 yrs decided to change to Pirelli. One of the worst decisions. In 3 years I have had to change 5 tyres, 4 due to side wall damage and one due to a nail. My driving has not changed, Pirelli are useless when you occasi9nally mount a kerb at very low speed. I get huge understeer with these tyres. Just ditched my two fronts for Michelins.

These tyres were on the car when I bought it, at 14000 milies. The fronts (225/40x18) are still the original tyres I believe, so have covered 26000 miles; the rears (245/35x18) were new when I got the car, so have covered 12000 milies.
Tread depth is about 1mm above the tread bar indicator on all four wheels - so the rears have worn twice as quick as the fronts, which sounds right. The wear rate sounds about right too (though I should try to keep a lighter right foot).
Grip - in the dry, great; in the wet, good. No complaints at all, as long as it's summer (in the UK). Once September arrives and the temperature starts dropping below 10 deg C, they become a liability. Even in the dry, if the temperature gets much below 9 or 10 deg C, then be very careful. I only have the 'baby' SLK; what it would be like in a 350 I hate to think.
Fortunately for me, the tyres are low on tread and it's August - so I'll be wearing some different rubber before the colder weather comes.
