Pirelli P Zero OE on new Porsche 911

Porsche has fitted the latest version of its 911 model with Pirelli’s P Zero ultra-high-performance (UHP) tyres. Two different compounds of P Zero were specially developed for the new Porsche 911 Carrera which has its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show this week in sizes 245/35 ZR20 front and 295/30 ZR20 rear.

According to the tyremaker, the P Zero brings the new Porsche “prodigious grip” while enhancing the aerodynamic characteristics of the new Stuttgart supercar. With Porsche, Pirelli confirms its premium strategy and position as a leading partner to the world’s most prestigious car manufacturers. The P Zero developed for the Carrera accentuates the car’s characteristics, ensuring comfort, performance and driving enjoyment.

The P Zero tread was specially developed by Pirelli engineers with side blocks featuring optimized sipe depth, thereby notably reducing noise emissions in compliance with European Union regulations.

Porsche has also chosen Pirelli for the 911 Carrera Turbo variant, to be launched over the coming months. The eagerly-awaited supercar will be fitted with the P Zero 245/35 ZR20 on the front and 305/30 ZR20 on the rear.
