I too was pleasantly surprised with their performance. We've received 3"-4" in the last couple day here in Utah, and I've gone out searching for bad roads and have no problems at all with anything that I've come up against. Whether the ESP is on or off you just point it and go. I find them completely acceptable for an all-season tire, and will gladly buy them again when I need new tires.
Finally I can provide some feedback for anyone wondering how these tires perform in the winter snow and ice. Honestly, after reading a number of posts where people were critical of tires of this type I expected handling just a bit better than an ice-skate... (IMHO) these tires did a whole lot better than I expected. I had a number of unplowed side streets with 4-6" of snow depth to navigate in the early morning as well as a combination of slush and iced over roads and I had no problems to speak of.
i've put about 2000 miles on a set, and I like em a lot better than the Michelin Pilots that came stock... IMO, they are slightly nosier on the road, but not loud by any stretch. The noise may also be a side effect of siping the tires. Really good grip in the dry and the wet. They were OK in the one snow storm that left anything on the ground this year. Definately not a 'real' snow tire though.
I pull consistant low 2.2 on Pirelli p7000's with an open diff.... Best of 2.202, just a beotch hair from 2.1
My OE tyres lasted around 60,000km and have now fitted a new set of Pirelli P7s all round.
I have been running 195-50-15 P700Z's on my 81 MKI Scirocco. They ride pretty well on the freeway for low profile tires. Tire noise is not bad. Cornering power is good in the dry. I wore out the fronts first and bought two more. The tire is a bargain and good all around performance for the price.
I have P7000 Summer's on my 88 Toyota MR2 and while I am very impressed with them, they do wear very quickly.
yep, and now 18" pirelli...those are a TAD better, but my road is horrid (not state maintained)...so i regularely get stuck on my own road
Now for tire noise, my Pirelli P7000 Supersports were quiet as could be. I read some posts about noise on them before buying them and thought "noise, what noise???" Well, after about 10k miles on them, they sound like monster truck tires roaring down the road.
im saorry to disagree,but you couldnt pay me to use p700z's again,i hate them,i had a pair and they never felt sticky enough,they do last a long time though,i think the only time they were any good(for me)was when i got them really warm,i didnt like them for autocross at all
