The Pirelli ICE ZERO ASIMMETRICO PLUS is widely regarded as a top-tier Ultra High Performance All-Season tire that excels in ride comfort and noise reduction. Most users report a transformative improvement in driving experience when replacing OEM tires, particularly run-flats, noting a balance of sporty handling and touring-like refinement. While consensus on dry and wet performance is highly positive, some users report mixed results regarding tread longevity and extreme winter weather capability.
Pros
- Exceptional noise reduction, frequently cited as quieter than competitors like Michelin and Continental.
- Superior ride comfort and compliance over road imperfections.
- Strong wet and dry traction that inspires driver confidence.
- Excellent steering response and handling characteristics for a daily-driven performance vehicle.
- High value proposition with competitive pricing and a strong treadwear warranty.
Cons
- Reports of faster-than-expected tread wear, particularly on high-torque or heavy vehicles.
- Some users find the sidewall feel 'soft' or 'squishy' compared to dedicated summer tires.
- Inconsistent performance in deep snow or icy conditions for some drivers.
- Occasional reports of road noise or 'droning' on specific concrete road surfaces.
Worth knowing
- EV owners (Tesla Model 3/Y) frequently note that these tires maintain or improve range while significantly reducing cabin noise compared to OEM options.
- Users with performance sedans (BMW, Maserati, Cadillac) report that switching from run-flat tires to these non-run-flat Pirellis dramatically improves ride quality without sacrificing handling.
- Drivers with staggered wheel setups note that the inability to rotate tires leads to faster tread wear, impacting the perceived value of the warranty.
