Pirelli P Zero (PZ5)
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Summer weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High speed performance
- Comfortable driving experience
OVERVIEW
The Pirelli P Zero (PZ5) is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The model offers exceptional high speed controllability throughout its performance. As a result, the tire is able to increase steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire promotes a quick and precise steering response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder block placement increases cornering, as these elements provide extra biting edges to grip the road. The asymmetric tread’s elements generate friction, shortening the overall braking distance.
Summer traction is optimized with the tread design and the heat-resistant compound. The optimized tread elements firmly grip the road surface, with better surface contact, while the summer compound prevents heat build-up in warmer temperatures. These elements upgrade the tire’s dry and wet traction. On the other hand, the special grooves help the tire prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water from the footprint and maintain surface contact.
Superb comfort levels are guaranteed thanks to the ideal footprint. The model is able to negate sound waves during the drive. This is achieved with the tread pattern’s variable pitch detail. It generates a special sound frequency that prevents sound waves from disturbing the passengers’ driving enjoyment. As road disturbances do not reach the vehicle’s cabin, the tire promotes high driving comfort levels.
The Pirelli P Zero (PZ5)’s high speed capability is optimized for maximum safety. The optimized tread design works with the durable compound in order to ease the pressure off the footprint. This effectively avoids pressure and heat accumulation along the tread area. As a result, the tire can safely perform at its utmost high speed capability, promoting a secure driving experience.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
