Absolutely blown away by them. They are amazingly quiet, they handle really well in all conditions and give you great confidence in the wet.
I couldn't understand how a non brand can a achieve this .. then I realised there owned by michelin .. and even the big brand we know today started off as a nobody that no one had heard of before and now Pirelli are one of the biggest brands in the world.

You will be blown away by the performance I will only be fitting this tyre from now on
Really??
Previous set I've were Michelin Pilot SS, I loved the grip, don't care about the noise as exhaust or music cancels it out, but wear was horrible.

Went back to Pzero and they are horrible, TC comes on all the time, back steps out all the time, so I'll be after a new different set soon.

How many miles have you done on them so far??
