Reviews over the

Pirelli P Zero Race TLR

As mentioned, this tyre, especially new, is a bit harder to put on the rim. Which does not mean it is impossible. In the end, it does succeed and immediately seals well. As soon as you ride it, the good roadholding makes itself felt, even on wet roads it is top notch. After a thousand km it hasn't had a puncture yet, so that's probably good too.

Pros & Cons

First set of Pirelli for me, but this will be a keeper. Comfortable, fast, great grip in all conditions. Fitting was a challenge (as with any tubeless tyre) but in the end it worked out fine. Finest tyre I have ever ridden.

Pros & Cons

Lovely top band really recommended for everyone

Pros & Cons

Fine fast tyre with good grip in all conditions

Pros & Cons

The tyre very much meets my expectations, as was also mentioned in reviews, the tyre is difficult to get on the rim. Once on the tyre, it looks very tight.

Pros & Cons

Super fast

The pirelli P Zero tyre, top, I changed the front tyre after 9000km. It was necessary. Never seen a tyre that lasted so long in good condition. The rear tyre needed replacing after 4000km, normal.

Pros & Cons

So nice tubeless tires!! Super comfortable to ride

Pros & Cons

I'm now on my fourth set and see no reason to change to a different tyre.

Still super content after so many years

Pros & Cons

My first choice for race tyre. Ticks all the boxes

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble without tools. Durability no idea.

Pros & Cons

A little difficult to mount, but then a perfect tyre for me on good and bad asphalt and firm gravel roads.

Once fitted, the tyre is immediately airtight, and can be pressurised without a compressor. Fitting does take some time, but that is logical and necessary to fit properly.

Pros & Cons

I have the 28 mm version on my Bianchi Oltre Pro bike. After 1 season (6,000 km), the rear tyre was worn out. Front tyre will last a while longer. Super grip (even with lots of rain and wet roads). I myself weigh 85 kg and ride with 5.5 bar pressure in the tyres. Quite comfortable and I haven't had a puncture. Would recommend them to anyone as the better alternative to the Continental GP 5000.

Pros & Cons

Shares first place with the Continental GP5000 as perhaps the very best tubeless race tyre. Fast enough for racing and durable enough for training.

Started riding tubeless a few months ago because of higher comfort, less punctures and lower rolling resistance. At the back I mounted Continental GP 5000 S TR, but after about 2000km it was already pretty worn out. On the front I had already mounted Pirelli P zero and after 2 months it was still in pretty good shape: little or no cuts and no punctures. So I decided to install this Pirelli on the rear as well. In terms of rolling resistance little difference compared to conti 5000, but mounting is much easier. Tubeless fitting is no problem at all: first day a little pressure loss, after that the tire kept its pressure nicely. Durability remains to be seen, but I suspect it will be higher than the conti 5000.

Pros & Cons

These tyres are long lasting and quick rolling with excellent puncture resistance. On anything other than a race bike they are my 'go to tyre'. 26, 28 & 30mm options are all getting good use!

Pros & Cons

Excellent tubeless tyre! The tyre is many times easier to put on the rim than, for example, continentals. Very easy to tubeless and keeps their pressure fantastic. Hardly any deflation if you're not on the bike for a few days. I have now ridden 550 km with them and they seem excellent tyres. Very good grip, fast and wear seems fine so far, although time will tell. With continental I often had cuts in the cheeks during these km. The pirelli's still look like new, even after a few gravel strips. I bought them because the continental ones keep turning out to be unavailable. Never regretted it for a moment!

Pros & Cons

Fine band does not get square.

Great tyre to ride on, very comfortable to use, put them on, did a ride and checked the pressure again, stay perfectly pressurised now.

Pros & Cons

I switched to this tyre a while ago and have now driven 2000Km with it in different conditions. Both dry and wet, as well as in freezing temperatures (1-2°C below zero). And I must say this tyre never loses its grip! Whereas with other (top) tyres I had pebbles or nicks in the tyre after a few wet rides, the Pirelli still looks like new. The latex in the tyre has not yet had to seal any holes. I don't feel that this tyre is slower than the Continental GP5000. Fitting went really smoothly. No problems for mounting it on the rim or getting it airtight. Am just positively surprised with this tyre and do not plan to go back to the GP5000. I have the 30mm version and ride at 5.1bar. There is a clear table on the packaging about the most appropriate tyre pressure. Quality has its price. The P Zero is pricey but one gets an absolute top tyre with top performance.

Pros & Cons

Product arrived in perfect condition and timely delivery. Bravo...

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

First impression is super. Tyre is easy to make tubeless. Lots of grip. No mileage to judge yet.

Pros & Cons

Been riding tubeless for years and this is the best I've had, combination of anti-puncture, rolling resistance and grip you won't find anywhere better than with this pirelli

Pros & Cons

I now have 1500km on it and no punctures yet, despite some gravel paths and bad weather conditions. What a top tyre! Easy to fit, low rolling resistance and low tyre pressure make for great comfort (6.1 Bar front, 6.5 Bar rear).

Pros & Cons

Easy to get on the rim. I had no problems at all. Running at 6 bar (28mm tyre) pressure, rolls very nicely and comfortably for a racing tyre.
