PirelliP Zero Race Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

Comparable with the Conti 5000. It is a little bit heavier but I started using because I was getting so many flats on The Conti 5,000 tires.

I use a Conti on my front tire. These on my back tire. I would say �try it�.

I'm 6' 2" and 185 lbs. Usually run Specialized s-works turbo 26c or Vittoria Corsa 25c on my Campagnolo Bora Ultra clincher wheels. Love the Vittoria's, but wanted something more flat resistant. The s-works turbo worked well, but wanted a tan sidewall for a more vintage look. The Pirelli's are not as comfortable or as fast as the Vittoria's. The Perelli's feel faster than the s-works turbo and similar for comfort, and also come in tan sidewall. I feel the Perelli's are slightly better than the s-works turbo, but not quite as good as the Vittoria's

This is an early review, as I've only been on a few rides with this tire on the rear. So far, it is performing up to snuff. For comparison, I like the Vittoria Corsa Control and the Conti GP5000, but am not a fan of Schwalbe Pro One or Specialized Roubaix tires. Every rider has their sweet spot, combining durability, puncture resistance, and long lasting grippiness, and those are the metrics I base my assessments on. Since the Pirelli P-zero is still new to me, no strong opinion yet. It is true to size, and was reasonably easy to mount. Tread seems to be on the thin side, especially when compared to the Conti or Vittoria. Will update when I have a more definitive take.

Great tire!! Never no issues. Fast, handles well

Had such a pain mounting those other tires thought I'd give these a go. After one ride a stone wedged under the tread but, didn't go thru to the tube. I was sold on them and bought more. Very happy with the ride using 28's

I'm using the 28C I'm really liking these tires I'm a little heavier guy and I use them with 90 psi in the front and 95 psi in the rear I have comfort and a good grip. I train Crit with them!!! I liked it a lot!!

First ride I get a flat. I also felt slower on these tires, for whatever reason.. I'm coming from Schwalbe Pro One's and after today's 70 mile ride on the Pirelli's, my initial impression is not good. I'll continue riding them, maybe my opinion will change. Looking to get another pair of Schwalbe's in the future, I'll likely never differ again.

I only got 2 rides on these tires so far, but far as looks!!, my bike looks beautiful with these tires. Exactly what I was looking for. Also they were faster and handling better than I expected

This tire is easy to mount and fast. I would expect supply of 30 mm will get scarce as it is discovered.

30 mm is plush on rough pavement yet responsive. I only need to carry 1 spoon to change a tube on

HED wheels with this tire. I will buy this tire set again.

Fast rolling and lots of grip wet or dry. This is my new go-to road tire. Also, very easy to mount and dismount without tools for the unfortunate flat tire (damn thorns). These seem to do a lot better with broken glass and other debris. Will purchase again!

I have to admit I went with these because they were light and I wanted the color accent.

They also happen to be a very smooth ride. Very happy.

Like the easy of installation

I sure like this tire, it is smooth easy to mount and great looks

Impressive rolling resistance, comfort and, so far, durability. While these are also lightweight I have to admit that while I like those positives I actually bought them for the look!

This was my first experience with Pirelli tires, and I was very happy with what I got. I got 25mm tires, and they ended up being slightly wider once inflated, but they felt great on the road. I put about 1600 miles on the tires, and there is still plenty of life left to them. The tires feel super grippy in the corners and roll really fast, which was really fun to ride. I also rode these tires on some pretty rough roads with a lot of debris, and didn't have any issues with puncturing. I don't have much experience riding these in the wet, but my experience with these tires was overwhelmingly positive.

Glad I found these tires, they have massive grip, are amazingly fast and oh so easy to install on my new deep rims!

I was skeptical at reviews touting their quietness but these tires tea are almost silent compared to my Maxxis Detonators and other tires used the last few years.

Deeper rims create a problem for installing tires but these Pirelli P Zeros slip right on and off.

I conducted a test, after installing them I immediately and easily removed them using only my hands and a tire lever.

Amazing, amazing and utterly amazing, plus these tires will also increase your speed.

I don�t understand the technology involved but it works, you can feel the increase in speed and the bike computer confirms it.

Buy these tires or remain slow and frustrated at painful tire changes.

After many years of riding on veloflex and continental tires, the P Zeros are a nice change. Not only do they look hot, they come in a varity of colors they roll nice, feel good on the road and grippy, so far no issues with flats so seem to hold up good so far. I live in southern California so weather and roads here are pretty good most of the time. Not many harsh roads where I live and ride. I bought the PZero classic gum wall tire a few months ago and recently replaced those with Gold label (Gold Text on black ) . Looks very nice on my stealth Black Canyon Ultimate. I will call this a good deal. Placing order is easy and shipping is fast.

I ride road bikes about 200 miles per week on a mixture of road surfaces, including cracked pavement, chip seal, and regular tarmac. Some of this is in a dense urban area where among other things one finds broken glass on the side of the road. I don't race but I still like to go as fast as I can. The P Zero have an incredibly supple ride for a high-performance road tire. They're especially good in wet conditions and I have a lot more confidence in them cornering at speed when it's raining than I had in Conti 5000s, which is what I used before switching to the PZero. These tires are incredibly easy to get on and off wheels, including the fairly challenging carbon wheels that I'm running on my road bikes. You really never need to use any levers, you can do it with your spare hands without incurring blisters or having to use any four letter words to encourage the process. This is especially helpful if you need to change your inner tube on a cold day at the side of the road. With respect to durability they seem fine, certainly they're not inferior in any way to Conti 5000s. I've been running them on both of my road bikes now for close to a year, so I'm pretty confident in being able to attest to their durability.

I was a dedicated Continental GP4000II tire user until they were replaced by the GP5000's. The GP5000's were a smaller profile, harsher ride and more difficult to install than the GP4000's. I have been trying to find a suitable replacement tire and have really found it with the Pirelli P Zero Velo tire. The size of the tire is very similar to the old GP4000 and is a super comfortable tire to ride on. I ride year round in all weather and on all surfaces and so far this tire has just performed really well. They were super easy to mount right out of the box. Although they are very light they have an aramid fiber belt that Pirelli claims to be fairly resistant to flatting. So far (knock wood!) no flats. I had been using a different tire between the Conti's and the Pirelli's and I was getting a flat almost every time I went out. Can't wait to try these out on my next cross country ride!

I use these on my Road Bike and I ride variable lengths and durations. I chose this product because of others reviews and how the specs stacked up against the Conti GP5000 which don't have that great of reviews. I have to say... I love how responsive they feel and the smooth but strong grip that they maintain with the road surface. I have only done a few rides with them and looking forward too many more miles. I have not ridden in weather with them as that is not my preferred riding environment. They are fantastic!!! 10 out of 10!!! Two Thumbs way up!!!
