Reviews over the

Pirelli P Zero Race TLR RS

Nice tyre, falls narrower than 30mm when installed (when measured 'only' 29mm). The tyre is tight and difficult to install compared to other tubeless tyres. Especially with inner tube, there is a lot of chance of causing a pinch puncture. Seems difficult to replace on the move, so maybe mainly to ride tubeless and not with inner tube.

Pros & Cons

Fijne soepele band, met een lage rolweerstand. Merkbaar betere grip als voor ganger ook met nat weg dek! Kan hem alleen maar aanraden

Pros & Cons

I understand tubeless needs to be a bit tight, but these were really impossible to get on DT Swiss ARC 1500 50mm. No idea how I'm ever going to get an emergency tube in there on the road.

Pros & Cons

with some pressure through tyre glider to get good on my syncros wheels with inner tyre

Excellent race tyre for fast club races/gran fondos where you really want to get the most out of it. This year I rode several gran fondos and the World Championship gran fondo with them. Here they rode wonderfully, never felt out of control, and where necessary they never had a puncture. Now in autumn, with more rubbish on the road, they did have a few punctures on training rides.

Pros & Cons

Absolutely wonderful tyres, rolls easily and gives a nice feeling of grip and comfort

Tyre will not fit on rim even with tyre pliers. Save yourself the trouble. Can't get it on even with tyre pliers. Damaged rims though.

Pros & Cons

I have been riding the Pirelli P Zero Race TLR tubeless for years. Have also been building my own race bikes for years. Since I needed to change my rear tyre, I bought the new RS version. New tyre is lighter and better rolling resistance. However, after 1 hour I gave up trying to get it on the carbon rim. Even with extra tyre pliers it didn't work. While it should be easier than the previous version, the TLR race by Pirelli. Had read on the internet that the 1st production series does not fit. To the production number 1324 ( 13 the week year 2024 ) so it was the 1st production. Swapped again for the old version. This one did fit using the tyre pliers. Will wait till other production to try again then.
