Any one tried PIRELLI PZERO TROFEO R

I can get my hands on some 295/30/19 PIRELLI PZERO TROFEO R at a reasonable price.

Anyone here tried them? How would they compare to PIlot Sport 4s?

Unless you’re tracking the car they make no sense.

Dry grip is is far superior. Everything else is compromised. You will have terrible wet reaction, and about 1/3 of the tread life at best.

I have been using Trofeo R on my previous A45 and till now my C63S sedan, in my opinion it is awesome. I have consumed 2 sets on my previous A45 average 10,000 km mileage per set and now I am on my second set and almost done on my C63S sedan averaging 11,000 km per set.
The reason I like it because the road feel especially on steering wheel and tail can slide predictable. Another reason was it can warm up pretty quick so you can start driving fast quickly. Of course dry traction is superior but for me wet traction is not too bad and can handle normal driving in heavy rain, definitely better than Cup 2 in wet.
I am living in Macau which is hot and humid monsoon climate.
My comment is if you are running stock size tire Trofeo R is one of the top choice, my ride is basically running all Weistec modes including ECU tune, catless DP, carbon airbox, VTA, meth kit, large transmission oil pan and etc.
Trofeo R can handle all the power of my ride and I am very happy with it.
My current set are almost done and I have already order a new set of Trofeo R so you can see I am very happy with it.

However, in the wet it's definitely worse than PSC2, the aquaplaning performance is particularly bad, I felt the car more twitchy and likely to lose control in Trofeo R, whereas PSC2 has more resistance to standing water and I had more confidence to floor the pedal in a light wet road. We should also not forget in terms of UTQG rating, Trofeo R is only 60 comparing to PSC2 180 and PSS/PS4S 300, treadwear rate is a lot higher in Trofeo R, which means dry performance could get even better as tire get old but wet performance will degrade to a dangerous level. For everyday road-use track tire, PSC2 is a lot better than Trofeo R in terms of usability & value.
