Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; High speed controllability; Upgraded maneuvering ability; . OVERVIEW: The Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire promotes excellent summer weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the summer weather compound upgrades the dry and wet weather road gripping ability. The asymmetric pattern with the tread blocks and the continuous ribs enhance the grip the tire has on the road surface with the additional biting edges it provides. The heat resistant summer compound prevents heat build-up, which boosts the summer weather traction. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. This tire is not suited for winter weather performance.The tread design and the stronger structure enhance the controllability. The tread's two continuous ribs maintain the road surface contact which secures the tire structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. In this manner, the tire becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured during its high speed performance. The asymmetric tread design and the summer weather compound also ensures the high speed driving capability. They ease the high speed driving pressure off the tire and enable its high speed durability. There is no heat build-up along the tread area and the tire's shape does not deform under the high speed driving pressure, which upgrades the summer weather high speed driving experience.The P Zero Asimmetrico enhances the maneuvering. The tread design's shoulder tread block placement increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. This upgrades the cornering capability and power as it maintains the surface contact throughout the tire's maneuvering. The tread block and continuous rib placement enhances the braking capability. They create friction between the road surface and the tire's tread, which enables the tire to increase the braking ability and decreases the braking distance. This combination ensures the tire's high speed performing capability. 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.
