Tread life of Pirelli PZero tires? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Does anyone know what to expect as far as tread life goes for the Pirelli Pzero tires that are coming on the Camaros? With normal driving how many kms/miles?

Xmicro_SS · 05-12-2009, 01:10 PM

Most ZR rated tires are around 18,000 - 24,000. But they loose their edge around 15,000 and I usually change them then. I have no experience with PZero's, but all ZR's are approx the same.

Zeus95 · 05-12-2009, 01:15 PM

I heard 8 to 10,000 and they are pretty much used up. I hope its closer to the 15K mark or this will get expensive !!

YIKES!!! Damn right this can get expensive.

And when my fronts are ready to go I am going to get a longer laster tires. Heck they may even break lose some. I have not been able to break this car lose going straight yet. It just grips and goes.

Love the license plate!!! You ordered pretty much the same time i did. How is your order coming along? I'm at 3000 with a TPW of June 15

I got 31000 miles on the same tires on my Cobalt SS/SC. The tires still had tread when I changed but I felt they had lost their edge. I have the P-Zero All Seasons on the Cobalt now, excellent tires but in summer driving tho better than most tires clearly not as good as the originals for quick moves. I would say 24000 for general spirited driving, less if one consistently tests limits, and more if one has periods of driving sanely mixed with periods of driving with joy. They are definitely not 40000 no matter how sedately you drive. -- laborsmith

I agree I have the P-Zeros on my saab 9-3 and now on the cobalt SS/SC you should see a good 30k but by then they start to loose there bite.

P zero summers are treadwear 220, I don't see them lasting very long.

I ate thru a set of goodyear's treadwear 700 in 10K down here in FL. It gets hot as hell down here.

Jeez, what were you doing to those goodyears? 24h autocross with a poor alignment?

pruettfan · 05-13-2009, 06:36 PM

The treadwear rating of 220 means about 15k perhaps 20k max from my experience. Most regular street tires have ratings of about 400 and they last 40k.

15 km for me, about to get my first changover...

Dizzy82 · 07-22-2015, 06:46 PM

20k before I had to change them. Won't go back.

Tstorm180 · 07-22-2015, 08:15 PM

I'm at 30k miles and they are done. Looking for a good all season tire with longer treadwear.
