The Pirelli P Zero Nero GT is an ultra-high performance summer tire introduced in 2013 for drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes, and medium-to-large sedans seeking enhanced dry and wet performance capabilities. This tire represents Pirelli's commitment to providing accessible ultra-high performance characteristics derived from the flagship P Zero lineage, incorporating advanced compound technology and tread design elements appropriate for street-driven performance vehicles. The P Zero Nero GT features a balanced silica content enhancing wear resistance without compromising the sporty character in both dry and wet conditions, molded into a subtle asymmetric wide-rib tread design increasing rigidity to enhance grip and steering response. Available in sizes ranging from 17 to 22 inches with Y speed ratings supporting maximum speeds of 186 mph, the tire's internal structure includes rayon body plies and twin steel belts reinforced by zero-degree nylon that evenly distribute footprint pressure and resist deformation to promote high-speed durability appropriate for performance applications.
The Pirelli P Zero Nero GT utilizes wide continuous ribs and asymmetric tread pattern allowing fast cornering reaction and improved handling capabilities, with the ability to brake efficiently in both wet and dry conditions through advanced compound formulations and tread geometry. User reviews averaging 66% across 462,962 miles of driving reveal mixed experiences, with many owners praising the tire for being quieter and more comfortable than some ultra-high performance competitors, though some express concerns about wet weather performance not matching expectations for this category. The tire delivers superior traction through advanced compound technology and responsive handling engineered for stability at high speeds with precise steering feedback appropriate for spirited driving. Wide circumferential grooves combined with the asymmetric tread design provide water evacuation maintaining road contact during wet conditions, though like all summer tires the P Zero Nero GT is designed exclusively for warm weather operation and should never be used in near-freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice. The tire serves performance vehicle owners seeking accessible ultra-high performance capabilities with reasonable comfort and noise characteristics, balancing sporting dynamics with daily driving refinement at price points below Pirelli's flagship P Zero models.
