P Zero (PZ4)

Pirelli P Zero (PZ4): what the numbers tell you

A UTQG of 220 is short-life by design. This is a high-grip compound that trades wear life for grip. Expect 15,000-25,000 miles of useful tread on a daily-driven vehicle. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.

Cabin noise of 72 dB is mid-pack for the segment, comparable to most performance OEM rubber. As a summer tire built for the performance segment, the P Zero (PZ4) is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.

Fourth-generation P Zero, widely OEM-fitted on European performance cars. Compound is softer than the Michelin PS5 — strong grip, shorter tread life.
