Tyres...

[Daggerit]

Anyone running with pzero R’s in the UK? Read somewhere that these should only be used in dry (summer) or track. Interested in feedback especially in cold/wet conditions.

Not personally, but a friend has a 992 911 GTS with them from factory and in anything other than relatively warm and dry roads they're less than ideal. Pulling out of a junction normally in the damp and about 10°C the back end was trying to step out.

They're really good in the right conditions though he told me.

The only other thing is that they seem to have the same characteristic as Pirelli bike tyres in that they like to collect stones and launch them at the bodywork and cars behind. The first time we went out for a drive together and it shot a stone straight out the back and cracked my windscreen... We weren't even pushing on or anything.

Thanks for the feedback.

Pirelli's website just says they are a performance tyre for wet and dry conditions. They certainly aren't a semi-slick / track tyre.

Totally agree, just from my limited interaction with them they don’t appear to perform as well as the Michelin or Bridgestone options in more typical British weather is all.

Are people getting confused with Trifeo R tyres that are road legal track tyres?

The new PZeroR tyres as well as Bridgestone Potenza Race have been tested by Sutcliffe and are better in wet weather than the UHP tyres. Game has moved on. Seems the drawbacks for these tyres is likely only increased cost and lifespan.

According to Pirelli https://www.pirelli.com/tyres/en-g.../(93y)-xl-audi?frontId=4261100&rearId=4261200, it will struggle in the winter. No issues with wet perhaps but snow/frost may be a problem.

Was looking at PZ5s but they are not available for RS3s - “There are currently no P ZERO (PZ5) tyres available for your vehicle.”

I’m ok with that. No summer tyre is good in frost / snow. I work from home / live in a mild area so winter conditions are mild and I can choose to not bother if indeed it snows.
