Are they actually selling these yet? Or any ETA? Cannot seem to find that information anywhere

Yes they are selling them in Europe at least for 20 inch wheels. I have just got some with my wheels. Seem very comfortable and low noise compared to 21 inch mission E wheels

Nice! I'm curious about the immediate grip that Pirelli claims. For example, do you see less wheel spin when launching due to more street contact? Tbh, I care less about the decreased noise and more about the traction. I wanna feel more of that immediate torque :rock:

I am really pleased with the stock Goodyear 21 inch tires on my Turbo S. The ride is incredible, and it is one of the quietest cars I've ever driven. Don't see any problems with traction, but I don't intend to thrash the car around the track. Very good feel and feedback in street driving.

They are so new that I have not really tried that as yet. They still hve a lot of release agent on them! :). My trip today had a lot of damp roads and chilly so it was not suitable to try a launch start? But I think it will be hard to beat the grip levels from my 21 inch summer wheels, which are Good Year F1, in summer weather.

Hope to try them out in some snow in January, Covid virus permitting.

A lot
Mine came with P Zero Elect 8 months ago (21" Mission E wheels).
So nothing new here.
It even has NF0 on them (N=Porsche, F=Taycan, 0=first series)
The only real news is the winter version.

Kinda hoping they'll make a 21" spec...I'm eager to start ordering my new wheels, and these would be cool to wrap around them.

Sure there is something new here! Your tyres were summer tyres. The news here was that they released a winter tyre in the same range!

US Dealer installed the 20” Pirelli P Zero Elect for me last month. Great with the 0 Celsius temps and lower we have been having. Ran well with a skiff of snow a few weeks ago. Snow forecast in the coming week, will see how they do in a with 10 to 30 centimeters of the white stuff.

I just also got the PZero winter Elec tires installed. I haven't driven yet in snow but dry, wet and cold are all good so far. Nice ride actually.
