Review: Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 ELECT

[markboris]

Discount Tire is telling me the quiet noise cancel pirellis are discontinued. Is it possible to get those tires? I have summer Pirellis on my GTPE. If I can't get quiet then maybe Ill get OEM in All Season.

If you are talking about the high performance all season Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 with noise reduction, they are NOT discontinued. They are a current model tire for Pirelli and The Tire Rack has many in stock in your 245/45R20 size.

That is one of those things they may or may not have on the sidewall. On the Mach-E GTPE with the Pirelli P Zeros, some had a sidewall that had ELECT on the side, others did not. Same tire. I cannot say for sure if this one has it but the link I posted above on The Tire Rack is an EV specific tire.

You were a big help. My 23 GTPE tires are irreparable just shy of 30k miles. I bought the tires on the link u sent.

As everyone else on this thread, you are really going to like these tires.

Looks like I got a nail in one of my stock P-Zeros summer tires yesterday, so close to the edge I doubt it will be repairable. Only 20k miles in and was thinking about going to Michelin for new ones if needed until I read this thread. With the rebate on tire rack (tire shop doesn't show the ELECT version- speed rating different) these are quite a bit less expensive than the Michelins and from the reviews seem to be the way to go. Thanks for the reviews.

My pair doesn't say Elect but the OEM pair did.

That's a bummer, I don't see our size 245/45R20 listed on their website for the ELECT anymore. I'm not sure if the regular AS Plus 3 (without ELECT) has the noise foam inside which made it quiet.

 

[markboris]

I mentioned earlier in this thread that the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3 ELECT with acoustic foam is a current tire and available on the Tire Rack in the 245/40R20 size

After getting almost 60K miles out of my Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 tires, I thought I'd try the newest PIrelli EV-specific ultra-high-performance all season tires, the P Zero AS Plus 3 ELECT. (I was going to try the P Zero All Season Plus ELECT, but they've apparently been discontinued and replaced with the AS Plus 3 ELECTs.)

After a 500-mile round trip journey from MD to NY and back, I can say they're fantastic, at least in the dry. No rain or cold to speak of yet, so can't compare their all-season-ness to the Michelins, but in terms of quieting, I was skeptical that small strips of foam lining the inside could make an appreciable difference. They definitely do! They are significantly quieter on all types of road surfaces. I'm curious to see how much louder they'll get as they break in and wear a little, but so far, so good!

The steering feel seems a tiny bit mushier, but not enough to detract from fun driving and, ahem, spirited lane changes.

Overall verdict so far: super happy!

Out of curiosity....your profile says you're driving the GTPE. according to Pirelli's site, the only size close to the stock GTPE size with ELEC Technology is 245/40/R20...so are you rolling with that size as opposed to the stock 245/45/R20? Or are these tires on a different model of Mach-E?

I'm just asking, as I need to replace my factory tires, and I'm having to come up with a plan b, as the Hankook iON EVO SUV tires that I wanted to get are on backorder in Canada...could be 8+ weeks to get a set.

They're stock 245/45R20s all around. Not sure why the Pirelli site isn't showing it as an option, but here's Tire Rack:

Also weird that TireRack shows it as a 103H tire, whereas the Pirelli site shows the non-elect tire in the stock size as 103Y

And I just noticed that I completely missed a couple comments from earlier this year from members that also noticed the 245/45R20 is missing from the website.

Always a lot of questions about the size of these tires. I bought a set from Tirerack.com sized at 245/45 R20 103H in October of 2024. Thought this photo would help. Ignore the wheel please.

Confirmed with my tire guy that the ELECT version is an H speed rating, and the non-elect is the Y. Weird that they would drop the speed rating so low on the tire geared for EVs.

Many EV's do not go over 130 mph. The Mach-E sure doesn't.
