P Zero tyres for Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition

Pirelli is supplying original equipment tyres for the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, the fastest and most powerful version of the first all-electric SUV produced by the Blue Oval. A new technical collaboration between Pirelli and Ford has resulted in a tailored version of the P Zero, which the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition will wear in size 245/45R20 103Y XL. The tyre features the ‘Elect’ marking on the sidewall, which denotes Pirelli tyres dedicated to electric and hybrid vehicles.

Thanks to the technical specifications of the compounds and structure, Pirelli tyres with ‘Elect’ markings offer a number of advantages: low rolling resistance to increase driving range, reduced noise levels to improve driving comfort, immediate grip to cope with the instant torque generated by electric motors, and a specific structure to support the weight of a battery-powered vehicle.

Pirelli says that when creating original equipment P Zero tyres for the Mach-E GT Performance Edition, its engineers “put the accent on performance, as well as the highest standards of driveability and comfort.” They developed the tyres according to the tyre maker’s ‘perfect fit’ strategy, whose remit is to create a tyre that best accommodates the car’s specific requirements. In this instance, perfect fit allows drivers to “fully enjoy the performance of the all-wheel drive machine equipped with two electric motors.”

In June 2021, Continental announced Ford’s approval of its PremiumContact 6 for the Mustang Mach-E. Customers in Europe can opt for this tyre in sizes 225/60/R18 104V XL or 225/55/R19 103V XL.
