"The P ZERO' is Pirelli's tire made as original equipment for most of performance vehicles and powerful models of cars in the market. This is a ultra-high performance tire that features an asymmetric tread design. This is perfect for use on top of the line sports and high-powered cars. This can also be used for other powerful mid-range vehicles.
The asymmetric tread design makes the tire deliver outstanding handling and braking performance. This is proven true for both wet and dry driving conditions. This also features an advanced high-grip compound with nano-composites for improved stability on the road and precise steering control. Also, this has 3 wide longitudinal grooves to increase resistance to aquaplaning. The s-shaped sipes are made for reduction of rolling noise of the vehicle. The external structure of the tire has rigid blocks that give advanced handling performance when driving on the limit while promoting safety."
Depending on the type of vehicle the tire is mounted on, sport or luxury model, the shoulder tread pattern reacts differently. If the car is a performance model the outer shoulder tread design enhances the dry weather traction, the summer weather road grip and the lateral stability which together boost the vehicle’s performing capability. With luxury-oriented models the outer shoulder design improves the road vibration and road noise levels by lowering their presence in the vehicle’s cabin and it increases the hydroplaning resistance.
The tire has exceptional summer weather traction thanks to the combined efforts of the silica and carbon black tire compound and the asymmetric tread pattern. They grip the road well in dry and wet weather, but they will not perform well in winter weather conditions. The silica and carbon black compound is not able to maintain its remarkable traction in lower temperatures. The circumferential and wide lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning situations by channeling water away from the footprint, making the drive safer.
The P Zero (PZ4)’s internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with hybrid nylon and Kevlar Zero Degree cap ply. They maintain the tire’s optimal shape under the driving pressure. As the tire does not deform under the driving forces, it is capable of effortlessly performing at high speeds. The optimal tire shape and the constant road contact enhance the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire becomes more responsive to the driver’s commands, ensuring an easily controllable tire.
