Pirelli P Zero Winter Performance Winter Tire

The Pirelli P Zero Winter is a high-performance winter tire (also called a snow tire or studless winter tire). It is built for premium and sporty passenger vehicles and aims to give a driving feel in winter that is close to what you get in summer. Pirelli developed it with car makers, and it uses an asymmetric tread pattern like those on its ultra-high-performance tires.

Key Features:

• Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rated for severe snow service.
• Asymmetric winter tread with inboard elements for snow and ice traction and outboard elements for stability when cornering and braking.
• Dense sipe network and multidirectional grooves on the inner shoulder, which improve grip and braking on snow and slush.
• Longitudinal grooves that move water out of the contact patch and reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads.
• Stiff central tread blocks that sharpen steering response and keep the tire stable on dry roads.
• Cold-weather rubber compound that stays flexible in low temperatures.
• Pirelli technologies such as the Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS), Seal Inside, run-flat construction and ELECT markings are offered on selected fitments.

Like all winter tires, the P Zero Winter is designed for use when temperatures are consistently cold, below about 45°F (7°C). Its soft compound wears faster in sustained warm weather. It suits drivers of luxury sedans, sports cars, coupes and crossovers who want winter traction without giving up responsive handling.
