‘P Zero the Hero:’ Pirelli’s New Answer for Supercars

(Douglasdale, South Africa/SA Treads) In the centenary of the firm’s involvement in motorsports, the most technologically advanced product to come out of Pirelli research, heralded as a revolution for the tyre industry, is about to be launched.

Making its worldwide premier on the track in Dubai, with a brand new tread pattern, futuristic compounds and an innovative structure, the new product – the fruit of 24 months of development and testing – is protected by no less than five patents.

Designed to manage the power of the hottest and most extreme cars, the new ‘P Zero the Hero’ has already been chosen and homologated by manufacturers for the most recent and high performance GT cars.

Features
The principal feature of the ‘P Zero the Hero,’ says Pirelli, is that it guarantees optimum performance in wet or dry conditions throughout the lifetime of the tyre, while combining sports handling with comfort. In fact, the new P Zero boasts special nano-composites in the compounds of the tread and the bead that guarantee a comfortable ride together with sports performance. Thanks specifically to the tread compound, optimum performance is even provided during the first few kilometers when the tyre is still cold.

And, thanks to the Hy.Co (Hybrid Cord) system, the carcass allows the deformation of the tyre profile to be controlled through to the highest speeds (370kph), increasing the durability of the tyre, not simply in terms of outright mileage, but above all, in the consistency of performance throughout its life.

Allegedly, the innovative tread pattern of the new Pirelli tyre also permits the highest standards of grip in wet conditions and acoustic comfort to be enhanced, while the asymmetric DA.Co (Dynamic Asymmetric Contour) profile ensures even wear with a consistent footprint at all speeds.

Moreover, ‘P Zero the Hero’ has been designed with the utmost respect for the environment, with the compounds used containing no aromatic oils, according to Pirelli.
