Pirelli’s P Zero reduces rolling resistance

The structure of the P ZERO Race TLR features a tire tread made with the SmartEVO formulation, a cutting-edge compound of polymers created to offer an excellent grip and low rolling resistance. The tire is different in the inside compared to its predecessor: here the use of the new SPEEDCORE technology offers low rolling resistance and great protection from punctures, thus reinforcing the casing – without making it stiff – through the use of aramid fibers. Aramid in fact has chemical-physical features that allow for high resistance to traction, cuts and heat, thus favoring the mechanical properties of the tire itself.
