Reviews over the

Pirelli PZero SmarTUBE

After fitting, I am very happy with the feel of the tyre and the extra comfort it provides. Unfortunately, the rear tyre has gone flat twice now, first after more than 3000 km, but the second time within 1000 km, not due to an external cause, but because cracks appear in the connection between the valve and the tyre. Apparently, this is a vulnerable spot.

Pros & Cons

I have particular experience with the Schwalbe Aerothan TPU inner tubes: I have ridden 6,000 km with them and zero punctures. However, they are no longer available with 80 mm valves. These are actually even lighter and smaller. This makes them really good to take with you as a spare. Fitting them is not very difficult or different: insert the valve, add a little air (not too much! 0.5 bar max), fit them neatly and fit the outer tyre (be careful not to get the inner tube in between). Then inflate and you're there. They are a bit pricey, but you can enjoy them for quite a few km with a bit of luck.

Pros & Cons

Very good inner tubes. They are fast and light. Been riding about 2500km on my first pair and am very satisfied. 0 punctures and contrary to what I read here and there, they stay at pressure just fine. After about 5 days, maybe 0.1/0.2 bar has escaped, but that is a matter of re-pumping before your ride. Valves do tend to rattle in the rim, which I solved with a bit of insulating tape, which is why they get 4 stars from me, also because 20 euros per tyre is quite expensive.

Pros & Cons

I have been riding with TPU tyres for a while now.And when you get used to them you don't go back to regular inner tubes

Pros & Cons

They are fast, which really makes your ride that much more enjoyable, but they are also not very durable. You do feel extra cautious when these are on. I had a flat within the first 500k. For me, the performance gain is not worth it. It was fun while it lasted, but I'm going back to butyle.

Pros & Cons

When replacing the valve, the plastic of the shaft cracked. Presta is too tight.

Pros & Cons

The TPUs look high quality and are super light. The riding experience so far has been very good and, above all, comfortable due to the lower pressure. Of course, you have to be more careful when fitting them than with butyl, but it's not that complicated. Given the high price, we'll have to wait and see if they last a long time. I also ordered the matching repair kit from Pirelli.

The expectations are correct.When fitting, use a little talcum powder.(With every tyre fitting)Have been using this inner tube for several years.

Pros & Cons

Bought as an alternative to tubeless. Rolls well. Tyres are very light, but it's better to lose a kilo yourself instead of buying these things. I had hoped they would hold their pressure better than Schwalbe SV20, but it's dirt cheap (especially considering the hefty price). SKS floor pump constantly pops off the valves, where this does not happen with Schwalbe or Bontrager inner tubes. And that doesn't help when you have to inflate them every time before cycling. Delivery was also poor, one of the boxes was completely broken. Suspect this was the case before shipping. All in all, the mis-buy of the year. Hope the technology develops further, as I do believe in this. For now, back to Schwalbe.

Pros & Cons

Very nice products but a little too expensive

Pros & Cons

Mounting with two new tires 400 km front puncture 600 km rear puncture

I managed to get a flat on a ramp just by putting too much weight on the rear wheel. The tube just didn't hold air anymore, and I got a rapid pressure loss. I guess if you are careful not to stress the tube too much it won't happen to you. But it can be a bump or a pothole that causes this, which is something that won't happen to a classic tube. Better carry on wheel extra 70-80gr rather than pay 5-6 times more for a bit of weight advantage with this kind of risk.

Pros & Cons

Like riding a different bike

Pros & Cons

Bad, I had 2 inner tubes . 1 was flat on fitting. They are awfully expensive and you can't feel the difference with a light inner tube or latex. The only thing is that it is super small and handy to store on the road. But you don't want to have or get a puncture. I will not buy them again

Pros & Cons

I have only driven 5,000 km with these inner tyres.

Pros & Cons

Still untested, I'm wearing them as spares, very light.
