A milestone in the development of the Pirelli range.
Offering ultra high performance, Pirelli P ZERO™ has been chosen as the original equipment for the most powerful, performance driven cars on the market.
Characterized by an asymmetric tread pattern that improves braking and performance, P ZERO™ is noted for its enhanced performance and control. Excellent in wet conditions, it reduces the risk of hydroplaning,and offers increased safety and handling.
State of the art nano-composite compound ensures the maximum grip and stability essential to sports driving. The tire’s structural integrity improves steering response and ensures uniform tread wear. A special “S-shaped” groove in the tread reduces interior noise levels, enhancing driver comfort. The P ZERO™ is truly a benchmark in its segment and ideal for all of the finest sport and exotic cars.
Key Homologations:
Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, GM, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, Mercedes, MINI, Porsche, Volkswagen

Sporting characteristics offer power and control when driving top of the range cars. Developed for all, top of the range, sports and high powered cars, P ZERO™ tires can also be considered for powerful mid-range vehicles.
