Pirelli PZero Nero 265/35 R18 93Y

The Pirelli PZero Nero summer tire was specifically designed for car tuning enthusiasts and for those car enthusiasts who enjoy getting pleasure from sporty handling without sacrificing comfort. This model is available in an exceptionally wide range of sizes, from 195/40ZR16 to 315/25R23. This allows you to give individual characteristics not only to a supercar but also to an ordinary compact car. At the same time, the tire provides a high level of safety when driving even at very high speeds, as evidenced by the high-speed indices - V, W, and Y.

Tread Design

When developing the tread design, Italian tire manufacturers sought to endow the tire with excellent traction, directional stability, and high resistance to aquaplaning in all road conditions. As a result, the tire demonstrates excellent handling, high braking efficiency, and excellent handling throughout the speed range, as is expected from a model belonging to the category of ultra-high-performance models.
Such high operational characteristics were achieved largely due to the use of an asymmetric design of the directional tread pattern, the exterior of which is distinguished by an amazing combination of restraint and aggressiveness.

Unlike many competitor models, also equipped with an asymmetric tread pattern, the Pirelli P Zero Nero tire tread consists of five longitudinal ribs, two of which are shoulder zones. One of the distinctive features of the tread is the structure of its central part, where three longitudinal ribs are located. These ribs are distinguished by the same size and integral structure, without breaks throughout the tread. Due to this, it was possible to ensure high structural rigidity, which led to an improvement in the tire's basic operational characteristics. In particular, the tire demonstrates exceptional directional stability when driving even at very high speeds, as well as lightning-fast responses to even the slightest movement of the steering wheel. At the same time, the tire's response reactions are of a refined character, which added sportiness to the handling.

The small radius of the shoulder zones of the tread made it possible to achieve a wide and long contact patch, distinguished by large sizes. Due to this, the tire demonstrates excellent traction on dry roads. In addition, due to the structure of the shoulder zones of the tread, it was possible to ensure a more even distribution of pressure over the entire contact area, which reduced the likelihood of uneven wear and increased the lifespan of the tire.

Confidence in Wet Conditions

One of the characteristic features of this model is its phenomenal resistance to aquaplaning, which allows for safe movement even in conditions of heavy rain at very high speeds. The tire owes such abilities to two factors - a rubber compound with a high content of silicon-containing components and a high-performance drainage system.

The rubber compound of the Pirelli PZero Nero tire is distinguished by an increased content of siliceous - silicon oxide. This substance gave the rubber compound increased elasticity, while improving the tread's resistance to wear. Due to the increased elasticity, the tread more closely follows all the irregularities of the road surface, which makes it possible to ensure more reliable traction, especially in wet conditions.

The drainage system is distinguished by simplicity and thoroughness at the same time. Four longitudinal drainage grooves, thanks to their increased size, can accommodate a sufficiently large volume of water. Then the water is quickly removed to the outside through numerous transverse channels. At the same time, the transverse channels are made in the form of a shark fin, the curved shape of which does not allow water swirls to form. This made it possible to significantly increase the speed of water passage through these channels, which significantly improved the performance of the entire drainage system as a whole.

Increased Load Capacity

Another characteristic feature of this model is the increased load capacity, which allows for a more complete disclosure of the entire potential of a sports car that has undergone tuning. This was made possible thanks to the use of new-generation materials in the carcass design. The Pirelli PZero Nero tire carcass is distinguished by a multi-layer structure. In particular, its composition includes a layer of aramid fibers, as well as a breaker made of nylon fibers, two layers of which are wound using a seamless technology. As a result, a very lightweight and durable structure was obtained, thanks to which the load is distributed most evenly, which, in the end, allows the tire to withstand the heavy weight of tuned automotive equipment without any problems.
