Magazine tests
Published braking distances (Auto Bild, auto motor und sport, Auto Zeitung, ADAC, Za Rulem and others). Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest). The tests use different sizes, cars and conditions, so only compare numbers within the same test.
| Test | Size | Conditions | Result | Rank | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Zeitung 2025 | 225/45 R18 | dry asphalt 100→0 km/h | 33.9 m | 6 / 10 | 33.0 m |
| Auto Zeitung 2025 | 225/45 R18 | wet asphalt 100→0 km/h | 45.2 m | 5 / 10 | 41.8 m |
| evo 2022 | 235/35 R19 | dry asphalt · speed not stated | 32.6 m | 5 / 7 | 31.0 m |
| evo 2022 | 235/35 R19 | wet asphalt · speed not stated | 31.0 m | 4 / 7 | 28.1 m |
The calculation on this page does not use these results: our check showed that a test in another size does not predict wet braking better than the EU label for your size. They are shown here as measured facts.

Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Pirelli Pzero?
On the EU tyre label, the Pirelli Pzero has wet grip class A to C, depending on the size. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Pirelli Pzero on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Pirelli Pzero 235/55 R19 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 42 metres (Lynk & Co 08 (2025+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on wet grip class A on the EU tyre label.
Has the Pirelli Pzero been independently tested?
Yes. Source: Auto Zeitung 2025. The Pirelli Pzero stopped on wet asphalt from 100 km/h in 45.2 m, ranking 5 of 10 tyres.
What sizes is the Pirelli Pzero available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Pirelli Pzero in 140 sizes, for example 205/40 R18, 205/45 R17, 215/40 R18, 215/45 R20, 225/35 R19 and 225/35 R20. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the BMW iX3 NA5 (2025+), Chery Tiggo 8 (2025+) and Leapmotor B10 (2025+).
