The summer passenger tire Pirelli PZero MGT is a great example of how sophisticated the efforts of marketers can be in promoting a particular product. This model received the MGT prefix in its name due to the presence of homologation from Maserati, which allowed it to be included in the primary equipment of cars of this Italian brand. Pirelli offers similar solutions for a number of other supercar manufacturers. It is the owners of such cars who are the main target audience for the Pzero MGT, which is one of the flagships of the leader of the Italian tire industry.
Three rigid longitudinal ribs
The asymmetric tread pattern of this model is distinguished by an original structure of the central part. Here, the Italian tire manufacturers were able to place three wide longitudinal ribs at once. They have very high stiffness, which, in combination with their size, allows not only to maximize the contact patch but also to maintain its size stable. This provides excellent traction properties in the longitudinal direction when moving even at very high speeds.
Original structure of the outer shoulder zone
The next distinctive feature of the Pirelli PZero MGT is the design of the shoulder zone, located on the outside of the tread. It consists of many wide blocks. Having high resistance to dynamic deformation, these elements allow the tire to confidently feel when cornering, providing fast and accurate reactions to steering wheel turns at the same time. It is this that gives the tire the distinctive features of Pirelli products, which are distinguished by their brightly expressed sporty handling.
High resistance to aquaplaning
All five longitudinal ribs of the PZero MGT are separated from each other by drainage grooves. They have a sufficiently large volume to provide very effective water removal from the contact patch. As a result, the tire demonstrates excellent resistance to aquaplaning even at very high speeds.
Asymmetric tread pattern with S-shaped design
This model is equipped with an asymmetric directional tread pattern, the distinctive feature of which is the original S-shaped design. The main advantage of such an arrangement of elements is the optimal distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, as well as the high resistance of the tire to dynamic deformation. In motion, these features are expressed in the form of excellent braking efficiency, stability when cornering, low noise level, and uniform tread wear, which significantly increases the service life.
Main features of the Pirelli PZero MGT tire
- The S-shaped design of the asymmetric tread pattern provides a reduced level of resonance noise and vibration, high resistance to dynamic deformation, and uniform load distribution over the tire contact patch;
- A large number of longitudinal and transverse drainage grooves, due to the rapid removal of water from the contact patch, allow you to move confidently on wet roads even at very high speeds;
- Massive blocks in the shoulder zones provide high braking efficiency and increased stability when cornering;
- Rigid longitudinal ribs, which increase the traction properties in the longitudinal direction.
