Pirelli P Zero Tires Selected For New Alfa Romeo Tonale

Pirelli announced it has specially developed P Zero tires for the new Alfa Romeo Tonale, the Italian brand’s first mass-produced electric vehicle. The P Zero has been chosen as original equipment for the various versions of the Tonale: hybrid, plug-in hybrid Q4 and diesel, Pirelli says.

Pirelli says the P Zeros for the new Alfa Romeo Tonale were developed to emphasize the car’s sporty traits and safe performance on both dry and wet asphalt. The tire’s creation entailed cooperation between the teams of the two Milanese brands, beginning with the concept for the first Tonale shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019.

Pirelli says this latest collaboration with Alfa Romeo represents a new chapter in a longstanding bond between the two companies, a bond that began roughly one century ago with the advent of the car and the first racing competitions.

O’Reilly Automotive introduced BrakeBest Select Pro – its next generation of brake pad design. Designed for newer model domestic vehicles, the company said these pads are engineered with input from professional technicians to offer a quiet stop, easy break-in and complete corrosion resistance.

O’Reilly Automotive said the signature blue break-in coating not only reduces break-in time, it also prevents future pulsation or vibration. The pads contain five layers of noise-canceling shims and the rotors are machined and balanced to a higher tolerance than others and will perform longer due to the corrosion-resistant coating that covers the entire surface, the company said.
