Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) tires are high-performance tires that were developed using Pirelli's experience in Formula 1 racing. These tires were initially used as Original Equipment on various luxury and high-performance vehicles such as the Audi A3 and S3, Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2, and the Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911. The P Zero (PZ4) tires come in different sizes for replacement purposes as well as original equipment fitments. There is a specific temperature range in which the P Zero (PZ4) tires are designed to perform optimally. Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking when used in temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius). Therefore, these tires should not be used, stored, or driven in near-freezing temperatures, snowy conditions, or on icy surfaces. Each Original Equipment P Zero (PZ4) tire is customized to suit the specific requirements of the vehicle it is intended for. The tread compound of the tire is made using a special blend of silica and carbon black, which can be adjusted based on the vehicle manufacturer's preferences. This allows the tire to deliver the desired performance characteristics in terms of grip, handling, comfort, tread life, and fuel economy. The tread design of the tire is also asymmetric, meaning it has different patterns on the outer shoulder. This design varies depending on whether the tire is intended for a sports car or a luxury vehicle. The sports car version focuses on dry handling, grip, and lateral stability, while the luxury vehicle version prioritizes comfort, noise reduction, and resistance to hydroplaning. The internal structure of the P Zero (PZ4) tire consists of twin steel belts that are reinforced by a hybrid nylon and Kevlar ZeroDegree cap ply. The specific construction of the tire casing, including the number of plies and the type of materials used, is determined based on the desired performance characteristics for each original equipment application. This customization allows the tire to be fine-tuned to match the characteristics of the specific vehicle it is designed for. Some sizes of the P Zero (PZ4) tire are available with additional technologies. The Seal Inside technology incorporates an adhesive sealant that coats around the base of any embedded object or through a resulting hole, effectively sealing the punctured area. This allows the tire to continue operating without losing air pressure. Another technology called the Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS) involves the application of a layer of sound-absorbing foam to the inner liner of the tire. This helps to reduce noise inside the vehicle cabin while driving. These technologies are only available in limited sizes, which can be identified through the tire specifications and search results.
