... based on the test results on 18" tyres (?)
Relevance to vastly different dimensions and load factors is to be considered with care.
If you do watch the video; he does mention that sizes above also outperform it, as he drove them on different occasions.

But yes, it could also be a magic tire, where compound and thread behave magically, and they change with size - going from all around better than PZ4 to all around worse; as Pireli’s best strategy is to release worse products, right? Wait, no, magically inconsistent behavior, affected by size 😁

Especially when the car they advertise it on in Europe uses 23” :)

I’m going to ask my dealer in Newport Beach, CA when they anticipate getting the PZ5 since apparently it’s available in Europe. Tire Rack doesn’t offer it yet on their website.
