Pirelli P-Zeros' life? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

28,000 and that was really pushing it. Got Toyos for summer and hate the rain performance...like hockey pucks even in summer. Got Blizzaks for winter and they work great.

Caddyroger · 02-01-2014, 02:28 PM

About 5000 miles and replaced them with gmax. nothing was wrong except they was not for winter use.

RollaMo · 02-01-2014, 02:56 PM

Replaced the Pirelli's at 21,000 miles with General G-Max

FAT-SS · 02-01-2014, 03:01 PM

Replaced the stock P-Zero's before 15,000 miles. Since I had to replace the tires, I also bought new wheels (TSW Vairano).

BubbaSS · 02-01-2014, 03:17 PM

Seen several of these threads...I noticed that they generally last about 50% longer on V6 cars over V8

KMPrenger · 02-01-2014, 03:19 PM

How is everyone liking the G-max???

The PZero is a max performance summer tire, while the G-MAX and an ultra performance all season. I don't want to give up grip, and my car is only driven on nice days only so not sure what is a good choice.

By the way...got about 14.5K miles on my car now....PZeros still looking decent so I think it may be a little while before I replace them.

I think it's all hit and miss. I didn't push mine hard, only one burnout donut day and then had a blowout at 16k so I replaced them all

When I switched I could barely tell the difference in grip, I only noticed if barreling down a super sharp bank at 80+ but it only was a little less grippier (is that a word?) but I have 15k on my Gmax's and they still have plenty of life left and mine is my DD

Eddiefuzz · 02-01-2014, 03:38 PM

44,000 on my first set of P-ZERO. I bought P-ZERO, I've had my car for 3 years, 57,000 miles, drive it ever day snow,ice, three winters. My Camaro goes.

TSSUNAMI · 02-01-2014, 03:42 PM

21k on my Pzero's... the rears were gone by that point. Fronts not so bad.

Replaced with wider Nitto Invo's

I like them.

Rock-It Man · 02-01-2014, 03:47 PM

I have the 20" P-Zero summer tires that came on my SS. They have 38,000 mostly highway miles and are probably good for another 10,000.

Obviously, I don't drive hard most of the time. The P-Zeros work fine below 45 deg, too, as long as the roads are dry. And I don't drive in Winter for another reason: salt.

So, I will probably buy the same for replacement tires. As for General tires, over the years, I have found their tires to be poor quality. Hankooks, on the other hand, I have had good results with on other cars.

TheSmokingSuns · 02-01-2014, 04:03 PM

Mine lasted 50K till I had to get a new set

They were very bald

DagoCountyGee · 02-01-2014, 05:12 PM

How much did you guys pay for your new tires?

Aequitas & Veritas · 02-01-2014, 05:15 PM

$840 for the Gmaxs shipped

lvrtrnsplnt · 02-01-2014, 05:34 PM
