About This Tire

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 245/45R18 is a max performance summer tire, designed for sports car and high-performance vehicle drivers who prioritize exceptional dry grip and precise handling in warm weather driving. Its tread design and compound focus on Formula 1-derived technology with a specialized silica and carbon black blend optimized for maximum traction and responsiveness.

This tire features construction tailored for specific vehicle applications, initially developed as original equipment for premium vehicles like the Audi S3, Lamborghini Huracan, and Porsche 911. The compound is specifically formulated to deliver sharp handling characteristics but comes with important temperature limitationsβ€”it's not suitable for use below 45Β°F due to compound cracking risks. Driver feedback points to outstanding dry performance with strong wet weather capability, though treadwear is moderate as expected in this performance-focused category.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance over year-round versatility and longevity. Overall, it's a solid choice for sports cars and performance sedans used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in consistently warm climates.
