These tires have been my go to tire for the last 3 years. I am very happy with the grip at 65 PSI mounted on Zipp 303's. They are easy to mount, have good puncture resistance, and look great. I have used many other tires over the years, but since switching to tubeless have not found a better tire.
I have used both the Pirelli P Zero Race SL tubeless and the P Zero Race tubeless.
I like them both for different applications.
The Race SL is 20-30 grams lighter, so it is good for race or specific event uses, and the Race model has a slightly thicker tread and puncture protection.
Both tires mount easy on my Campy Bora WTO rims and the bead seats every time with just a normal pump, I don't even have to remove the valve core.
They last a normal amount of miles for this type of high end tire and don't seem to pick up tread cuts too easily.
Pirelli are very good tires.
Amazing rolling resistance and still feels plush. Great side bite with effortless turn in. Had trouble with a lower price tire locking up easy under hard braking and this fixed the problem. Great grip.
The Pirelli P Zero Race TLR SL Road Tire is performs as advertised! Fast acceleration lightweight feel and low rolling resistance. I only have 250 miles on them so far, so I really cannot comment on durability. I have confidence in the corners with the grip it provides.
I'm running these in hookless Zipp wheels at around 50psi- they ride fantastic and feel super fast and grip like crazy they corners.
Downside would be they don't have a lot of puncture resistance- city riding in Chicago is a bit dodgy with all the crap on the roads here
I got the P Zeros mounted on Zipp 303s wheels. It didn't take long for me to become a convert to hookless tubeless. The tires are supple and compliant. Inflated at 75 psi, the ride is far smoother with less rolling resistance.
Great upgrade from tubes to tubeless. The difference in feel is amazing. The bike really comes alive with tubeless and these Pirelli's really grip the road well.
I am only about 400 miles into these tires but not a single issue so far with all the stuff you ride over on the spring roads.
I am putting these through the test prior to
race season. They are performing well as a training tire in all conditions. Fast and smooth yo!
