Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Fuel-efficient performance; . OVERVIEW: The Pirelli P4 Persist AS Plus is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Pirelli offers an 85,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.This model offers exceptional all season traction. The silica-based compound and asymmetric tread design, with the zigzag sipes, enhances the tire's exceptional year-round performance. Stronger compound elements allow the tire to optimize its rubber flexibility, keeping the tire pliable in versatile weather conditions. The tread elements provide the needed grip by generating additional biting edges as well. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, dispersing water and slush from the footprint.The tire improves its surface contact with the tread design. The center rib and shoulder pattern greatly upgrade the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire helps to offer a quick and precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. Additionally, the wider shoulder blocks, with the zigzag sipes, increase its cornering power. They provide extra biting edges, which ensures the tire's exceptional cornering. The zigzag sipes and angled lateral grooves generate friction at the moment of stopping. This significantly shortens the tire's braking distance.Better traction and the silica-based compound enable the tire to ease the pressure off its surface. This greatly lowers its rolling resistance, which is the pressure affecting the vehicle's needed fuel intake. This pressure regulates the fuel usage since its intensity determines the energy the vehicle uses to keep the tires in motion. Lowering its rolling resistance allows the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions to be decreased. The tire offers a fuel-conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.The P4 Persist AS Plus also upgrades its usability. The stable footprint and special silica compound enable the tire to enhance its tread life. Even pressure circulation effectively avoids irregular wear, by preventing pressure accumulation along the tread area. Durable compound elements decrease tread wear as well, by utilizing wear-resistant elements. This enables the tire's significantly longer-lasting service life. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
