The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) tires are high-performance summer tires that were developed using Pirelli's Formula 1 expertise. They were initially designed to be used as Original Equipment on various luxury and high-performance vehicles like the Audi A3 and S3, Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2, and Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911. However, they are also available as replacement tires in different sizes. It's important to note that Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking when used in temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius). Therefore, these summer tires are not suitable for use in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or icy conditions. The P Zero (PZ4) tires are customized for each specific application. The tread compound is made of a special silica and carbon black mixture, which can be adjusted based on the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer. This ensures a balance of wet and dry grip, handling, comfort, tread life, and fuel economy. The tread design of the P Zero (PZ4) tires is asymmetrical, with the outer shoulder varying depending on whether the tire is intended for use on a sports car or luxury vehicle. Sports car tires have an outer shoulder focused on dry handling and grip, while luxury vehicle tires prioritize comfort, noise reduction, and hydroplaning resistance. Both versions feature wide grooves to effectively evacuate water and resist hydroplaning. Internally, the P Zero (PZ4) tires have a twin steel belt structure reinforced by a combination of nylon and Kevlar ZeroDegree cap ply. The casing construction can be customized based on the desired performance characteristics of the original equipment application, including the number of polyester or rayon plies and symmetric or asymmetric construction. This customization allows the tires to perfectly match the characteristics of the specific vehicle. Some sizes of the P Zero (PZ4) tires come with additional technologies. One of them is the Seal Inside technology, which involves a special adhesive sealant that can seal punctures and allow the vehicle to continue operating without losing air pressure. Another technology is the Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS), which reduces cabin noise by adding sound-absorbing foam to the tire's inner liner. In summary, the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) tires are high-performance summer tires that have been developed using insights from the world of Formula 1 racing. They are specifically designed for luxury and high-performance vehicles, with customized tread compounds and patterns to suit each application. While they offer excellent performance, they are not intended for use in freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. Some sizes of these tires also come with additional technologies such as puncture-sealing capabilities and noise reduction features.
