As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is a unique tire if you’d like to combine smooth and quiet driving with sporty steering. Due to its asymmetrical pattern and full-depth sipes, its wet and light snow performances are quite impressive. Yet, this is a non-3PMSF tire. Its winter performance changes depending on how cold the weather is. On the other hand, Pirelli P7 AS Plus is one of the longest-lasting tires on the market. Besides that, it’s a good option if you’re looking for better fuel consumption.

Dry Performance

The dry performance of grand touring all-season tires is generally near perfect.

Dry traction is mostly related to the rubber amount of on the ground. Since we’re talking about the all-season tires, the amount should be high anyway.

In my point of view, discussing traction is kinda unnecessary for this section. Even the cheapest all-season in the market will provide a decent amount of dry traction.

However, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 has one unique feature that put it forward. Large outboard shoulder blocks.

The easiest way to increase the rubber amount on the ground is by expanding shoulder width (think about the huge shoulder blocks of tracking tires).

So, that’s what Pirelli does. Compared to an older version, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 has wider shoulder blocks. Hence, better dry performance. Especially for relatively aggressive drivers.

Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 provides excellent dry performance. Even aggressive drivers will feel like driving performance tires.

Wet Performance

All-season tires are built to offer year-round performance. However, sometimes they fail on wet performance.

Well, there are two reasons behind it.

The first one is tread life. If you’re making an all-season tire, it should last longer. Otherwise, using an all-season tire doesn’t make sense. For this reason, using a stiff compound is a must and it decreases the wet grip.

The second one is fuel efficiency. To avoid the stiffness of the compound, using notches and sipes on the tread is the best way. Yet, these dudes decrease the rolling resistance and increase fuel consumption.

Even though manufacturers optimize these two very well, it isn’t mean that they have the best-wet performance.

To achieve perfection, they should also handle hydroplaning resistance.

I know it’s getting complicated. Let me explain these two in two different sections.

Wet Traction

The easiest way to evaluate wet traction is by checking the UTQG rating.

The UTQH rating is actually the universal way of defining compound features. Since manufacturers use different compounds of different sizes, they can differ from size to size.

For instance, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 has two different UTQG ratings. 740 AA and 800 AA.

While 3-digit numbers explain the stiffness of the compound, the first letter stands for wet traction and the second one stands for heat resistance.

So, even though Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 has an ‘A’ grade regarding wet traction, this test isn’t applicable for today’s vehicles because most vehicle has anti-locked brakes and this test performs on locked brakes.

So, in this case, the ‘A’ grade actually means the tire sipes provide enough traction for a decent wet grip. Yet, this isn’t enough.

For decent wet traction, my limit UTQG number is actually 700.

Since Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3’s 740-800, I can confidently say that Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 will have traction issues on cold days. However, if you’re living in warm conditions, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is a great option for you.

Hydroplaning Resistance

Hydroplaning resistance is basically the water evacuation capability of the tire.

It’s crucial because this feature is what helps you to don’t lose control while going through the puddles. Especially if you’re driving fast.

In this case, open shoulder blocks and wide circumferential grooves work best.

Due to 4 circumferential groove designs and open shoulder blocks, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 provides trustworthy hydroplaning resistance.

Winter Performance

The winter performance of all-season tires isn’t something to trust.

Unlike most people think, the compound of all-season tires loses grip performance below 7 Celcius degrees (at or below 40º F).

So, in this case, you should know that if the tire doesn’t have 3PMSF, expecting decent winter performance is a bit meanless.

Regarding Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 things are quite the same.

First of all, Pirelli P7 AS Plus has an asymmetrical pattern that is notched vertically and horizontally. In fact, that’s why it has an ‘A’ grade UTQG rating regarding traction.

For this reason, its light snow performance is decent. Though worth reminding, this tire can get you out of unexpected situations. However, for instance, if you’ll wake up on a snowy and cold day, you should warm these tires up for decent traction.

Regarding deep snow traction, I like the wide and blocky shoulder blocks, yet, tread depth is key out here. If you see deep snow often, I don’t recommend this tire.

Regarding ice, I think Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is one step ahead of the competition because of its compact pattern. Yet, still not a tire for ice usage.

In summary, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 isn’t a dedicated winter tire. Yet, it’s good enough to solve unexpected situations.

Longevity

Longevity is the biggest improvement of this tire.

Pirelli was pretty happy with the traction performance of the Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 2. Yet, due to its highly notched pattern, this tire is wearing quickly if you’re an aggressive driver.

So, that Pirelli made out here is quite simple. They keep the working pattern and increase the compound stiffness.

Increase compound stiffness, decrease the uneven wearing and actually wearing rating.

Due to its stiff compound, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is one of the longest-lasting tires in its segment. I strongly recommend it if longevity is your priority.

Getting maximum wear life from a tire is related to you as well as your tire,

Warranty

Pirelli offers 70,000 miles and an unlimited-time treadwear warranty for Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3. An unlimited time expression is crucial in this case. It actually means they believe in their mileage warranty.
Pirelli offers a uniformity warranty for the first 2/32” of wear. That means in case of any uneven wearing, you can get new ones for free.
Pirelli offer 30 days of trial for Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3

Handling

The handling capability of grand touring all-season tires is reliable. Especially for premium brands like Pirelli.

Handling can be evaluated under two different sections. Cornering stability and steering response.

Since these tires are generally used on relatively lightweight vehicles, handling generally isn’t an issue.

Let’s evaluate these two features one by one.

Steering Response

Quick steering response is the key to a sporty driving feeling.

In fact, I think that sport driving feeling is one of Pirelli’s goals for this tire.

Well, this generally isn’t something to pay attention to for grand touring all-season tires. However, I think there is a good market catch out here.

Most people want long-lasting rubber and a sporty driving feeling. Especially for these sizes.

So, what does Pirelli do to achieve this?

In this case, the wide and robust shoulder blocks of the Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 work perfectly. Besides that, this tire has a stiff compound which is great for a quick steering response.

If we were talking about fluffy compound tires like Vredestein HiTrac All Season, the relatively blocky center rib could be an issue. Yet, this stiffness level of the compound doesn’t flex that much. So, no issue at all.

Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 provides unique responsiveness. Strongly recommend it for aggressive drivers.

Cornering Stability

Cornering stability is mostly related to the inner structure.

In this case, strong sidewalls and robust shoulder blocks work perfectly.

Pirelli P7 All Season Plus 2 was an efficiency-oriented tire. For this reason, it was lightweight. Yet, some people have sidewall issues with this tire which is kinda prof of a weak internal structure.

So, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is different than the previous version.

First of all, its compound is stiffer and it has wider shoulder blocks.

Well, these two could negatively affect the cornering stability if the sidewall of the tires isn’t durable and stiff enough.

In this case, Pirelli uses polyimide reinforcement ply that goes from bead to bead. While this ply helps the tire to keep its shape at high speeds, it also strengthens sidewalls.

Due to its unique internal structure, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 offers perfect cornering stability. For this reason, it’s a good option for SUV and CUV owners.

Riding Comfort

Riding comfort is mostly related to the inner structure and tread pattern.

So, grand touring all-season tires generally offer a smooth ride because of their rib-type patterns.

Pirelli P7 AS Plus has an asymmetrical rib-type pattern. Depending on the asymmetrical level, these tires could offer a rough ride. However, regarding Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3, things are a bit different.

If you check the Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 closely, you can see that its outer and inner shoulder block design is different. Besides increasing handling capability, this design actually works regarding comfort.

Basically, increasing the rubber amount on the ground works best also in this case. However, the real game changer is its inner structure.

The inner structure of the Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 consists of one extra single-ply polyester casing. This ply covers the tire’s inner structure from bead to bead and absorbs most of the road dumb.

Due to its extra polyester casing and shoulder block design, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is one of the most smooth tires on the market.

Road Noise

Road noise is caused by the airflow inside the tire tread.

The tires which have angled notches tend to make more noise. For this reason, most grand touring tire offers a deaf ride.

Regarding Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3, things are better.

First of all, just like the off-road tires, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 has interlocked center rib which is excellent for a quiet ride because the starting point of airflow is generally the center section.
Secondly, its shoulder section may be blocky, though, if you can check closely, you can clearly see the outer circumferential grooves are halfway closed on the shoulder side. This actually breaks the airflow and reduces road noise significantly.
Since Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 doesn’t mark with 3PMSF and its winter performance is limited, this tire doesn’t need that much aggressive pattern.

Because of the above reasons, Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is quiet as a church mouse.

Fuel Efficiency

Fuel efficiency is related to rolling resistance. Lower rolling resistance means better MPG.

So, in fact, all-season tires without 3PMSF are the best option in this case.

Even though these tires have tons of sipes on them, their stiff compound decreases the rolling resistance significantly.

Since I’ve already mentioned the relatively soft design compared to its competitors. This is a huge advantage. Besides that Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3’s UTQG rating is 800-740 which means the tire has a way much stiff compound than its competitors.

According to the above information, I can confidently say that Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is alpha plus option if efficiency is your priority.

Pirelli P Zero Review

Updated: December 26, 2023 by Emrecan Gurkan Leave a Comment

Pirelli P Zero is Pirelli’s max-performance summer tire. This tire has been particularly built for sports coupes, bold sports cars, and luxury sedans. Early on, Pirelli P Zero released as original equipment on Aston Martin DB9, Audi R8, Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, Lamborghini Murcielago, Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT and Mercedes-Benz AMG.

As a former Bridgestone engineer, from my standpoint, Pirelli P Zero has a unique performance on wet and dry grounds. Since Pirelli P Zero mainly focuses on performance, it’s slightly noisy and can be a bit bumpy due to low aspect ratio sizes. Though, nothing is unbearable out there. Even though its tread life is acceptable for trucks, it has poor tread life for daily driving usage.

After much positive feedback, the Pirelli P Zero has also made its way into the replacement market. Even though P Zero has been in the market for long years to prove its performance, people are still debating about its capability.

Well, it’s acceptable because these kinds of high-technology tires generally have decisive use restrictions and most people fail to follow them. In this article, while giving some advice to use, I’ll also evaluate Pirelli P Zero’s performance. Let’s dig into it!

Note: 11 different Pirelli P Zero tire is available and all of them are specified for different usage. I recommend you check them all out before deciding.

Dry Performance

Dry performance is crucial for maximum performance tires. Especially for summer-specific ones. Well, two evaluation criteria are important in that case. Dry traction and handling. Let’s evaluate them one by one.

Dry Traction

Dry traction is the easiest part of tire development. It’s mostly related to the compound selection. The equation is simple. Softer compounds always provide a better grip. Since we’re talking about the maximum performance tires, Pirelli P Zero has exceedingly fluffy rubber.

Due to its special silica and carbon black tread compound, it has unique dry traction. Moreover, these special compound provides better grip while tires are still cold for the first couple of miles.

Note: Performance tires should be heated up for maximum performance. Therefore, Pirelli P Zero’s cold-grip ability is a huge advantage for daily drivers.

Handling

High handling capability is a must for performance tires. Due to reach out maximum handling capability, manufacturers prefer fulfilled tread patterns. Consequently, more intense contact patch.

In that case, the outer side of Pirelli P Zero’s tread has an exceedingly narrowed rib groove. That robust shoulder and rib combination helps you to maintain stability while cornering at high speeds. Moreover, this section is supported by a wide center rib that is built for rapid steering response.

Pirelli P Zero has a satisfying handling capability. Therefore, it’s a good option if you don’t have a sports vehicle but you wanna put a fancy look to your vehicle. Though worth reminding, in return, you’ll lose some tread life.

Wet Performance

Depending on the built intent, some maximum performance tires can fail regarding wet performance. If the building intent focuses on track, well, a lack of wet performance is expected. However, if the building intent is daily driving, then solid wet performance is a must.

Pirelli P Zero has a little of both. It’s a hybrid tire that can be used both ways. However, in my point of view, it’s optimized very well. Maybe you don’t get a maximum of daily driving or track, though, you get 8 out of 10 from both which makes it extremely preferable.

For a better understanding, let’s evaluate its wet performance on part subtitle.
