Review on Pirelli P Zero 235/50 R19 99W summer by Adam Kardasz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Rubber 295x40x21 was the finishing touch on the MB GL350. Prior to this, I had never driven a vehicle with such large tires, let alone one that had all-wheel drive. I did roughly 25,000 kilometers worth of driving in it over the course of one summer season, which lasted from April 2022 to October 2022. Although the tires were already in poor condition, I made the decision to keep the tread depth at approximately 4-5 millimeters in the front and approximately 5-6 millimeters in the back for the duration of the season. It was incredibly nerve-wracking for me to drive down the track and switch lanes on the Hong Kong Ring Road at first, but eventually I grew used to it and it didn't bother me anymore. When constructing the automobile, I would not say that it throws a lot of debris; rather, this is the case for all broad wheels, and doing so is simply a matter of habit. The handling is excellent, and it has extremely good performance in ruts. (I liken it to the different-wide low-profile bridgestones that are on the vehicle that my wife drives—a Mercedes-Benz GLK—it throws so hard that it stops the heart) It may be due to the weight of the car, but I didn't notice much of anything when it hit the water at a speed that caused it to hydroplane. ...and the same goes for hydroplaning! I won't even compare them to the different-wide Breeches at the GLC because those Breeches don't even allow you to drive into a puddle at all. It's possible that you're right about the self-tapping screws; during the course of the season, I found three or four of them, but I assumed it was because of the wear on the wheels. In regard to the level of loudness, there is nothing more that can be said, in my opinion. When compared to the winter Velcro used in Yokohama, this Velcro is noticeably noisier; nevertheless, this can be attributed to the fact that the Velcro itself is more flexible. Regarding their resistance to wear, I can tell that the sidewalls on the front end of the tire have become worn out; however, I do not know why this is the case. The collapse has been completed, and the balance will continue as before. (by the way, on the GLC, the Bridge functions in a like manner) In either dry or wet conditions, it exhibits behavior that is flawless in terms of tenacity as well as controllability along a straight line. It does a respectable job rowing in sand and mud, but the stopping distance on a sandy road is greater on this Starex than it would be on a Starex with a narrower profile. I have a passion for fast driving, and my typical speeds range from 140 to 180 miles per hour. You don't need to apply as much pressure to the sneaker in wet weather, and it'll still take you through turns at fast speeds regardless of the type of rubber you're using. I have not made up my mind about what to bring for the upcoming season. Yokohama Advan Sport V105T 295/40 R21 111Y is often what I go for. If I do take it, I'll add a comparison at the end of the season to supplement the review.
