Today we are comparing two popular summer tires, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 and the Uniroyal RainSport 5 in a comprehensive review based on tyre tests. This information will assist you in making an informed decision about which tyre to choose.
Firstly, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4, a high-performing Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) tyre produced by Pirelli, stands out with an impressive rating of 85% based on our tests. The Autobild test ranked it in good 3rd position out of 50 tested tyres. It has been particularly commended for its excellent dry and wet handling, and it delivers reduced braking distance both in wet and dry conditions, providing increased safety. Nevertheless, its drawbacks include a limited mileage and a higher price, as per Autobild 2023's review. Despite these setbacks, the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 represents a significant evolution in the world of high-performance tyres.
On the other hand, we have the Uniroyal RainSport 5, a well-reputed Ultra High Performance (UHP) summer tyre designed and manufactured by Uniroyal. Our tests offer it a lower rating of 64%. In the Autobild test, this model found itself at the 17th position out of 50 tyres tested. It performed admirably in aquaplaning - both cross and longitudinal, standing out as the strongest point.
In summary, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. The Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 dominates in dry and wet handling and braking, but loses points for mileage and price. Meanwhile, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 shines in aquaplaning performance. Your final choice largely depends on your specific driving conditions and preferences.
Remember, choosing the right tyre can greatly enhance your driving experience, providing improved safety, comfort, and overall performance. Happy driving!
