1004ron Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 This wouldn't be much of an issue with our FWD and AWD, but not sure about accident liabilities etc. I had issues with my wife's RWD Mustang and would have got rid of the P Zero's sooner had I know this limitation. https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/popping-noise-in-front-passenger-suspension.181435/page-2#post-3676964 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) https://www.tirerack.com/tires/pirelli-p-zero Quote Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), so the P Zero, like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

handfiler Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 They were OEM on my Mustang and absolutely dangerous below 10 Celsius (50 F). An all around mediocre tire IMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabangsta Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Ford offers summer only tires on a lot of vehicles, including the Edges with the ST Performance Brake Package, and the Explorer ST has them as optional as well. I run summer UHP (BFG G-Force Sport Comp 2) on my Fusion (2012 Sport with the 3.5, AWD), and they are pretty greasy when it is near freezing. I live in the desert southwest and it rarely gets near freezing. This is a second car (my primary), and I have left it sitting to drive other vehicles in the evening. It is AWD and I have chains, but I probably wouldn't drive it up the mountain when it has snow or ice. When I had Continental ContiProContact tires I drove it to Denver during a snow event, and other than some bad habits creeping into my driving (speeding up in turn lane to make a light...oops) it did great, but even just the cold with the UHPs make them a handful.

I should have included that the vehicle never sees snow. My point is that the P Zeros were poor performers in general. 6 hours ago, akirby said: Yes but they’re optional and clearly advertised as summer only tires. Standard equipment with the 55D package.
