Pirelli P Zero Line Enters Aftermarket

The Pirelli P Zero R and P Zero Trofeo RS, two original equipment tires 
for sportscars, are now available in the replacement market. 

The ultra-high performance tires "represent the pinnacle of the P Zero range 
and are the result of joint development with leading luxury car manufacturers, already applied to over 60 models, from European sportscars and supercars to American muscle cars, say company officials.

"The P Zero R was developed primarily for sportscars and the top-performing 
models of the prestige segment, while the P Zero Trofeo RS is designed to ensure maximum track performance for sportscars and supercars, while also being road-legal," according to Pirelli officials. 

The P Zero R "provides excellent grip on various asphalt types and in different weather conditions, with particular attention to wet driving, while its tread pattern minimizes road noise. ... The P Zero Trofeo RS is a semi-slick tire whose main strengths are high performance and consistency."

"Refined in Milan on Pirelli’s R&D Center simulator, which allows virtual development of new products, the new sizes are produced using MIRS (Modular Integrated Robot System) robots and the most advanced innovations dedicated to ultra-high performance tire manufacturing. MIRS technology is used at the Italian plant in Settimo Torinese and the U.S. plant in Rome, Georgia, where production of the new replacement range for the American market, particularly sportscars and local muscle cars, is concentrated."
