About This Tire

The Pirelli P Zero 235/45R20 is a max performance summer tire, designed for sports car and high-performance luxury sedan drivers who prioritize exceptional dry grip and responsive handling in warm weather driving. Its tread design and compound focus on delivering motorsport-derived traction technology with consistent performance from cold start-up through extended driving sessions.

The tire features a specialized silica and carbon black tread compound that maintains competence during initial cold miles and provides consistent performance throughout its lifespan. Originally developed as original equipment for vehicles like the Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari 599 GTB, and Lamborghini Murcielago, it incorporates 100 years of Pirelli motorsport experience into its construction. Driver feedback points to outstanding dry performance and good wet traction, though treadwear longevity rates as fair for this performance category.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance and precise handling over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for sports cars and performance sedans used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in temperatures above 45Β°F.
