About This Tire

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 255/45R20 is a max performance summer tire, designed for high-performance vehicle drivers who prioritize exceptional dry grip and responsive handling in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on delivering Formula 1-derived technology with a special silica and carbon black compound that can be tailored for specific vehicle applications.

Originally developed as Original Equipment for premium vehicles including the Audi A3 and S3, Lamborghini Huracan LP 580-2, and Porsche Boxster, Cayman and 911, this tire features construction specifically engineered for exclusive and high-performing vehicles. The specialized compound formulation allows manufacturers to customize the balance between wet grip, dry handling, comfort, and tread life according to their specific requirements.
