Reviews over the

Pirelli P Zero Race TLR

I'd never seen anything like it, a 15-minute battle to get past the 1st rod. I couldn't get past the 2nd. I had to go to the shop to have them fitted, I don't know how they managed but they told me it had been hell. After that, they're comfortable and reassuring. Unfortunately, when I got a puncture (after 2000 km, that's not bad), it was impossible to dismantle them on the side of the road. I broke 2 tyre levers and had to call for someone to come and get me. When I got home, I ordered the non-tlr version, which fit very well, and threw them in the bin. It's a shame considering the price and quality of the tyre, but it's too much of a hassle. I saw in other comments that it was probably a problem with a particular batch. When I called mantel they said they hadn't had this kind of feedback, but I also think it's a batch problem. If in doubt, I won't be taking any back, but feel free to try your luck.

Assembly proves impossible

Pros & Cons

Meanwhile, we've been struggling with 1 tyre for 2 weeks. We can't get it fitted. Tyre returned.

Pros & Cons

Tyre is way too tight, impossible to get on the rim. And when you do get it on (heat it, use soapy water), you don't want to think what happens, if you get a puncture and find yourself on the side of the road with cold hands. Disappointing product, not recommended. I threw them in the bin and ordered the same version non-tubeless.

Pros & Cons

Since I was so satisfied with the Pirelli fitted earlier, I bought a 2nd one for my front wheel a few months later. However, there was no way to get this one on the identical rim.

Pros & Cons

Arrived as per delivery schedule thanks . They were impossible to fit on wheels . Broke 2 leavers and almost bested me to get on . I even heated the 2nd one to see if it made it easier but still almost bested me to get over the rims , good rolling resistance but fitting problems I would not buy again
