In the world of performance tyres, the Nokian zLine and Pirelli P ZERO are known to be excellent options for summer use. Manufactured by reputable companies, these tyres promise to deliver your need for speed, safety and durability. However, it's not easy to choose between them, especially given the mixed results in different tyre tests.


Nokian zLine:


The Nokian zLine is a summer tyre developed by Nokian featuring outstanding dry handling. It performed well in the ACE test by securing the 3rd position out of 11 tyres tested, besting its features in dry handling. However, it slightly lags in other tests, as it was ranked 6th in the Automotorsport and GTÜ tests, and 7th in the ADAC test. Overall, despite the lower ranking in some tests, Nokian zLine is still a considerable choice due to its reliable dry handling and its performance across the board.


Pirelli P ZERO:


On the other side, we have the Pirelli P ZERO, a summer tyre made in Italy by Pirelli. Known for its strength in various handling features, the P ZERO took the lead by ranking 1st in the Sportauto test. It also showed a strong presence in the Automotorsport, ADAC and GTÜ tests, securing 4th position in each of these. Moreover, Pirelli P ZERO was noted for its impressive features such as dry handling, dry lane changing, dry steering responsiveness, and different wet handling aspects, among others. Despite being 7th in the ACE test, this tyre's overall striking performance in various tests put it in a favorable position.


Conclusion:


It's not easy to declare an absolute winner between the Nokian zLine and the Pirelli P ZERO as both show commendable performance in various aspects. Still, considering the test positions and features, it seems that the Pirelli P ZERO has a slight advantage, particularly in wet handling and overall performance. However, for dry handling enthusiasts, the Nokian zLine might prove to be a better option. Ultimately, the best choice depends on the specific needs and driving conditions of the vehicle user.
