Pirelli P Zero Run Flat 255/40R19, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Run flat tire model; High speed controllability; Longer lasting usability; Summer weather traction; Pirelli P Zero Run Flat TiresThe Pirelli P Zero Run Flat is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is a run flat model. This allows the tire to optimize the limited, temporary performance in case of air pressure loss. As a result, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph in case of air pressure loss. When air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or other damage, the vehicle will not be stranded on the side of the road. Instead, the vehicle can safely arrive at a location where the problem can be remedied. Run flat tires are made for vehicles without space for a spare tire. These models should not be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires due to their heavier construction. The S-shaped groove placement allows the tire to increase the controllability as it optimizes the surface contact. The 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 Run Flat 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 BMW vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of t
