Description
The Pirelli P-ZERO PZ4 (*)RUNFLAT is an ultra-high performance (UHP) tire designed for luxury and sports cars, featuring a customized, asymmetric tread for excellent dry handling, steering, and high-speed stability, along with a high-silica compound for improved wet traction. Its key technologies include an asymmetric design for dual-condition performance, Run Flat capability for emergency use, and specialized materials for a tailored fit with premium vehicles. While providing sharp steering and good braking, its performance can degrade when worn, and it may suffer from faster wear and weaker wet performance when cold.
