“Pirelli P Zero Tyres But if a rant. Brought my i4 edrive 40 about 14 months ago from a main dealer here in the UK. The front tyres (Hankook) had decent tread, obviously the rears did not, so the dealer swapped them for brand new Pirelli PZero (PZ4) tyres at the rear. Honest to god I have never driven tyres so dam trash in my life. Anything other than a perfect warm dry day, there is little to no grip and car struggles to put its power down. I assume the Zero in P Zero refers to the grip levels. Just wondered if anyone else had any experience with Pirelli’s? Read more”

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community members frequently consider the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 as an affordable alternative when replacing factory run-flats, praising its handling, low road noise, and strong grip compared to earlier tires. However, sentiment is tempered by criticism of its poor snow capability as a summer tire, complaints about the RunOnFlat variant from performance car owners, and mixed tread wear reports compared to rivals like Michelin.
“Most recent 3 tyres for me: Current at >40,000km - Bridgestone Potenza RE003 ~20,000km - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ~35,000km - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 The Pilot Sport 4 has been my favourite of the three by far - handling felt just as good as the Goodyear Eagle F1 whilst having less road noise and incredible wet grip, but they just didn't last long. But I enjoyed them so much I'll try the Pilot Sport 5's next as they supposedly have improvements to tread wear.”
“I've run Conti 5P's on my E63's and they grip well in both wet and dry, last reasonably (circa 13k miles on the rear, a little further on the front, and I change my tyres when they're down to 2.5mm - 3mm of tread), but are a bit noisy. My wife's SLK55 is on 5P's too and the fronts last about 20k, the rears 12k - 13k. Are you running MO-spec tyres or the generic version? This can have a significant effect on life expectancy. FWIW, I'm now running Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's on my E63. They grip as well as, if not better than, the 5P's and are noticeably quieter. I've got 11.5k miles on the current set and they still have a good 5mm of tread remaining, so I anticipate that they will run to at least 14k miles.”
“Quote: Originally Posted by Trigger I phoned around a number of local tire shops today for price & availability for the Potenza Sport; Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02, and the Michelin PS4-S, and nobody could see any of them (in the 215/45/17) available across Canada! TireRack delivers to Canada, does it? If I choose one of the Canada post codes as a location then it does show me both 205/45R17 and 215/45R17 available. Quote: Originally Posted by Trigger Another tire that has come across my radar which equals the Michelin PS4-S is the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport… Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 (F1A3) and Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3R (F1A3R) are available in the U.S. in stock 205/45R17 size. No other Goodyear summer performance tires are offered in Miata sizes in the U.S. Supersport is 19 inch and larger, I think. F1A3 is a competitor to PS4S, I've considered it for my previous Mustang V8, but poor wet performance put me off. Dry performance seems to be fine. I have not tried it myself. F1A3R is essentially a track tire with 100 treadwear. I haven't seen people in person who drove these on a Miata. If my goal was an ultimate grip I'd probably start with more known tire, maybe Bridgestone RE71RS.”

Community sentiment regarding the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) is largely critical, with users reporting extremely rapid tread wear and severe grip issues outside of warm, dry conditions. While some drivers consider them for OEM run-flat availability, multiple posts highlight concerns over poor longevity and lackluster wet and cold weather performance compared to competitors like Michelin.

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
