Pirelli OE for BMW X5 and X6

Pirelli’s original equipment supply to BMW already involves fitments for the 1 Series, 3 Series, 3 Series GT, 5 Series, 6 Series Gran Coupé and 7 Series, as well as the current X1 and X3 SUV. The Italian tyre maker has now added the X5 and X6 to this list following BMW’s decision to choose the P Zero as original equipment on its most powerful 4x4s, the X5 and X6 (E70).

The 21-inch run-flat P Zero, says Pirelli, has been developed to cope with the high performance demands generated by the latest generation 4x4s: “Thanks to its asymmetric design, this tyre guarantees the X5 and X6 perfect roadholding combined with a reduction in rolling resistance, while maintaining high levels of wet grip. The specialised tread pattern design ensures an even level of wear, enhancing the well-known driveability of the P Zero.”
 
The P Zero is homologated for the BMW X5 and X6 in these sizes: 2306200 285/35R21 105Y XL rf P ZEROfront, 2306300 325/30R21 108Y XL rf P ZERO rear.

The new tyres developed jointly by Pirelli and BMW will be distinguished by a special star marking on the sidewall: this branding indicates that the tyres have been tailor-made to respond to the manufacturer’s specific needs. These markings can also be seen on Pirelli’s winter tyres. With the Sottozero Serie II and Scorpion Ice & Snow, Pirelli now supplies more than 30 fitments distinguished by the new star marking.
