Pirelli P ZERO High Performance Tire - 225/40R18 92Z 1679700

Features and Benefits: Run flat tire model; High speed controllability; Longer lasting usability; Summer weather traction; Pirelli P Zero TiresThe Pirelli P Zero is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The S-shaped groove placement allows the tire to increase the controllability as it optimizes the surface contact.... moreThe better road contact allows the tire to improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This allows the tire to be quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The silica and carbon black enhanced tread elements upgrade the high speed durability, by preventing heat build-up along the tread area. The S-shapes elements generate friction between the tire and the road surface, greatly shortening the braking distance. This promotes a driver's better control over the vehicle. The summer compound and the ideal tread design improve the summer traction. The silica compound avoids heat build-up along the tread area, while the tread's surface contact boosts the grip on the road surface during the drive. This ensures exceptional wet and dry grip on the road surface. The three circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint, further increasing the wet weather performing capability. The Pirelli P Zero increases the usability. The asymmetric tread elements maintain the surface contact throughout the drive. This enables the model to evenly distribute the driving pressure affecting the model. This enables the tire to prevent premature and irregular wear formations, extending the service and tread life. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
