Review: Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 ELECT

[MME2000]

I'm definitely looking at the Pirelli P Zero™ AS Plus 3 NCS Elect in the fall when the rebates come out.

The efficiency is back to what I had with Hankooks - 3.7mi/kwh (vs 3.4 with CC2)

Is this your overall efficiency? what % hwy/city does this represent? I'd be interested in 70MPH hwy efficiency because I can't get better than 2.9mi/kwh on the hwy on my OEM Michelin Primacy A/S 18" 39 PSI

Yes, this is mostly highway efficiency at 70mph.

Just ordered a set through my Ford dealer as Ford has a $125 rebate going.

I just had these tires installed a week ago and the difference between them and the OEM summer tires that came on the vehicle is night and day. Smoother ride and much quieter than the OEMs but you do give up a little grip compared to the summer tires but not as much as I expected.

The difference was so noticeable that even my wife made a comment without me even mentioning the new tires. My wife isn't the type of woman to notice tires......jus sayin.


Anyway, I do have one suggestion to anyone purchasing these tires for their Mach-E. Mention to the shop before hand that they have an inside and outside designation on the sidewall. It will save them and you a lot of time.

And this is why I’ve been recommending them for the past few years. Smooth riding quiet tire in a performance all season if that’s your top priority.

After two sets of OEM Pirelli P Zero tires on my 2022 GTPE, I'm holding out for Pirelli's new P Zero E tire with RunForward technology. The tire was introduced a couple of years ago on the European market but is not yet offered in the USA.

There still no word from Pirelli regarding when this tire will be available on the US market. When it does make its debut, it will probably be as an OEM tire for an EV sedan.

Still, one can always hope that Pirelli makes this tire available to us soon! Based on my experience with their performance tires so far, I'm ready to be a launch customer!

I see that some US online tire sellers are starting to list this Pirelli P Zero E tire with runForward technology:

https://neotires.com/new-pirelli-p-...h7_IicmEO-qav0j_KPVo5fy5RDiEubGbTONrrJ4g9U-Pn

but I was not able to find it for my size: 245/45R20

Does anyone know where else I could search?

Thanks for posting this. Wow, finally! This is big news. I'm so glad to see that Pirelli is finally bringing this tire to the US market.

My GTPE tire size is also 245/45R20. If I find them available anywhere, I'll start a new thread to let folks know.

Tire Rack has them but not yet for the MME. $432 a copy for a Mercedes. Yikes!

They're certainly not cheap! But I'd expect that kind of price for the first example of a new technology ("Run Forward").

Still, since the MME has no spare tire, the Pirelli P-Zero E might give drivers some additional peace of mind. And I'm interested in its other unique features as well.

I've got nearly 20K miles on my current set of Pirellis. With any luck, they'll release the new tire in our size just in time for my next set!

It should be noted that this review as well as the test results on Tire Rack are for the non-elect version of the AS+3. I have not been able to find test results on the elect version, or any specifics on the differences between it and the normal version, other than the elect has the foam noise reduction added. If there have been formulation changes to the tread compound to improve rolling resistance and/or tread life, the performance will undoubtedly be affected.

I have the AS+3's and love them. They are quiet and smooth and stick to the road like glue. I did not get reduced range when I changed from the special EV tires that were on my fist Mach e when I bought it used. I will probably replace with another set when the time comes, although I'll be interested in the reviews of the Cross Climate 3 Sports coming out later this year. I would also be interested in a review of the AS+3 elects to see if there are any performance differences between it and the normal version.

I have wondered the same about the difference between the AS+3 and the AS+3 Elect, but Tire Rack indicates there is no difference. (below is from their web page for Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3)

I just replaced my OEM Michelin Primacy A/S tires (225/55R19) at nearly 52,000 miles with Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 Elect (same size). I have only driven about 20 miles but can already tell a difference with reduced tire noise, better ride over road imperfections, tighter steering, and straighter tracking. I'll keep you posted as I drive more on them. Small sample size but so far, love them.

Dan, you will continue to appreciate the differences you mentioned in these Pirelli's. I have recommended them time and time again and everyone here that has them has had no complaints, only praise.

So you guys persuaded me, ordered them for both my wife's Select and my EV6 on Discount Tire with $80 immediate rebate. Mach-E was $1,041.12.
