Pirelli Claims Top Spot in Tire Rack Tests

(Tire Review/Akron) Pirelli Tire North America said its P Zero topped a recent Tire Rack test of “max performance” tyres, besting two other unnamed UHP tyres. The testing was conducted at Tire Rack’s test track in South Bend, Indiana, using 2006 BMW325i E90 saloons with new 225/40ZR18 tyres mounted on 18×8-inch wheels.

The evaluations, said Pirelli, included cornering, lane change, acceleration, traction, responsiveness, handling and drivability “normally only encountered in abrupt emergency avoidance maneuvers or competition events.”
