About This Tire

The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) 285/45R20 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 Formula 1-derived technology with a special silica and carbon black compound engineered for maximum traction and precision.

This tire was initially developed as Original Equipment for exclusive vehicles including the Lamborghini Huracan, Porsche 911, and Audi S3, with each application tailored to specific performance requirements. The compound can be adjusted to deliver varying combinations of wet and dry grip depending on vehicle needs, though it requires ambient temperatures above 45Β°F for safe operation. Driver feedback indicates strong dry performance with good wet traction capabilities, while comfort remains reasonable despite the performance focus, though treadwear is moderate as expected in this category.
