Initial Review, 45,000 Miles on Tires
September 24, 2014
I bought a brand new 2012 VW Golf almost exactly 2 years ago, and put P Zero Neros on with just a few miles on the odo. Currently (9/24/14) the car has about 46K and change showing, so without exaggeration, I have driven the Pirellis more or less 45,000 miles over 2 years. Just had the car inspected today- there is still 5-6/32 of tread left. They easily passed PA state inspection, and the service guy said 5/32 is about 1/2 the allowable tread wear!
If it's not clear, I will say I drive many hiway miles per year, working around the Mid Atlantic region, traveling from my home near Harrisburg, PA to NYC, NJ, Philly, Baltimore, and several cities in PA. Plus recreational driving/road trips etc. So more hiway than local miles for sure. I listed my driving style as "spirited". Let's say I don't drive like a mad man but I do drive like I gotta get someplace.
The tires handle well in all SPRING/SUMMER/FALL conditions. I've frankly never used them in snow- I have a 4WD truck I use in snowy times. These tires are totally predictable and stable in wet or dry conditions- not sure I've ever had them hydroplane on me, and they are reasonably quiet as well -depending on road surface & conditions.
All in all, I have to say these are maybe the best overall tires I've ever had on a passenger car. I'd buy them again in a New York heartbeat, and heartily recommend Pirelli P Zero Nero tires to anyone who seeks to get get maximum mileage per dollar in a tire that does everything pretty doggone well.
