Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) tires are high-performance summer tires that were developed using Pirelli's experience in Formula 1 racing. They were initially designed as Original Equipment for prestigious vehicles such as the Audi A3 and S3, Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2, and the Porsche Boxster, Cayman, and 911. However, they are also available as replacement tires. It is important to note that these tires should not be used in temperatures below 45°F (7°C) to prevent compound cracking. They are not suitable for near-freezing temperatures, snow, or icy conditions. Each Original Equipment P Zero (PZ4) tire is specifically tailored for its intended use. The tread compound, which consists of silica and carbon black, can be customized according to the needs of the vehicle manufacturer. This allows for the desired combination of wet or dry grip, handling, comfort, tread life, and fuel economy. The tread design is asymmetric, with the outer shoulder differing depending on whether the tire is meant 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. Non-original equipment P Zero (PZ4) tires have the sports car outer shoulder design. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by a hybrid nylon and Kevlar ZeroDegree cap ply. The construction of the tire casing can vary, with options such as 2-ply polyester or 1- or 2-ply rayon, and either symmetric or asymmetric construction. This customization allows the tire designers to further optimize the tire to match the characteristics of the specific vehicle it is engineered for. The P Zero (PZ4) tires come in various sizes, each with its own tread pattern, which can be found on the Specs tab or in the search results. Additionally, there are limited sizes of these tires that feature Pirelli's Seal Inside technology, which uses an adhesive sealant to patch and seal punctured areas, allowing the vehicle to continue running without losing air pressure. These sizes are clearly indicated on the Specs page and in the search results. Similarly, there are also limited sizes with Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS), where a layer of sound-absorbing foam is added to the tire's inner liner to reduce cabin noise. These sizes are also identified in the Specs page and search results.
