Description
The Pirelli P-ZERO PZ4 is a high-performance, Ultra High Performance (UHP) tire that serves as original equipment (OE) for many sports cars and performance vehicles. It is designed through collaboration with car manufacturers to provide tailored performance, offering superior steering response, excellent dry grip, and good wet safety thanks to its high-silica tread compound. Key features include a stiff shoulder for handling, optimized tread patterns for comfort and low noise, and an asymmetric design for enhanced braking and control.
Key Features
- High-Performance Handling:Features a blocky shoulder for increased tread stiffness and lateral stability, providing superior steering responsiveness.
- Excellent Dry Performance:Offers sharp steering response and good braking performance in dry conditions, delivering engaging handling.
- Wet Performance:High silica content in the tread compound enhances grip and safety in wet conditions.
- Comfort and Noise Reduction:An optimized pitch sequence and siping design aim to provide a quiet ride and low rolling resistance.
- Tire Warm-Up:The tread compound is designed to improve warm-up time for consistent performance during hard handling.
OE Collaboration and Tailored Performance
- Perfect Fit:The PZ4 is the result of extensive collaboration between Pirelli and top car manufacturers to create a tire that is a perfect fit for the specific car model it’s designed for.
- Homologation:Tires are homologated, meaning they are specifically approved by the car manufacturer for optimal performance with that particular vehicle.
Advanced Technologies (Available in Some Variants)
- Run Flat Technology (RFT): Allows for continued driving after a puncture, providing greater safety in emergency situations.
- Seal Inside: An internal sealant that helps prevent air loss from small punctures.
- Pirelli Noise Cancelling System™ (PNCS): Reduces noise inside the cabin for a quieter driving experience.
- Cyber Tyre: An integrated system with sensors that collect and transmit real-time data to the vehicle’s electronics, improving safety and driver experience.
