Latest Ferrari Rides on Specially-Designed Pirelli Tires

The new Ferrari will come with a unique Pirelli P Zero Corsa Asymmetric tire as OE, in size 265/30R19 at the front and 345/30R20 at the rear.

Pirelli said its researchers, working with engineers from Ferrari, increased the contact patch of the tire. Thanks to the dedicated sizes and larger dimensions of the front tire, understeer is reduced, improving turn-in and grip as the car is going through the corner. A significantly lowered shoulder benefits cornering stiffness, improving both the efficiency and reactivity of the car for the driver, the tiremaker added.

Pirelli also noted the new tire was designed asymmetrically to cater to the “forces at work on a car capable of accelerating from 0 to 200kph in 7.3 seconds. Furthermore, to obtain the best synergy between the tire and suspension, Pirelli’s engineers differentiated the stiffness of the inner and outer tire shoulder by about 5%. This ensures the best possible grip and maximum performance stability in all usage conditions.”

The new vehicle boasts a carbon fiber chassis, KineticEnergy Recovery System, and nearly 1,000 hp.

Ascot Supply Corporation, based in Newnan, Georgia, has selected Mark Paquette for the newly created position of vice president. In this position, Ascot Supply said Paquette will oversee the growth of the company's products, corporate profitability, manage marketing and advertising and assume many other responsibilities.

He will work under the direction of current President David Kessler and officially begin his new role on June 3. Paquette joined the tire and automotive industry in the early 1980s at his father's tire shop, and his contributions to Mohawk Rubber Sales were instrumental in the company's growth and eventual sale to Myers Tire Supply in 2021, according to Ascot Supply. Paquette eventually was given a promotion to the role of director of operations at Myers Tire Supply.
