Afaik, only the budget P6 is popular....and for the elite..PZero...Pirelli is also being sold by GoodYear and Michelin shops, and P7..(even the Dragon, P7000 older model).. are getting tuff competition from Top establish line up line likeGY F1 and Pilot Sports, that why not very popular in Malaysia...have you seen a Pirelli tire shop?

P7 are comparable to PS3. P7 have a softer side wall compare to PS3. They are expensive, given value for money PS3 better. Pirelli brand are used by porche who need performance but not worried about life span and cost. P7 tend to be noisy when 30% thread left.

Changed to Cinturato P7 215/50/17 two days ago.
Dry: Very good
Wet: Tested yesterday heavy downpour at speed 100km/h. Still have confidence to go further but decided not to due to visibility.
Noise: Slightly noisier than my Primacy LC used before this but not fair to compare these 2 which was built for different requirement.
