We have a look at some of the best tyres on the market by Pirelli - designed with the intention of going fast. Track ready crossover tyres by Pirelli are the best you can buy, you only need to look at their 8 years as the official tyre to the Formula One for proof.
A set of slicks is undoubtedly the ultimate choice for a factory team competing at the highest level, but Pirelli can be found at all levels and most circuits. Road/Track crossover tyres are now more readily available with semi slick tyres that are totally road safe and legal.
Be aware that semi slicks do come at a cost. With their softer compounds, you may be lucky to get 20,000km out of a single set but half that if you’re hitting the track.
The latest from the Pirelli P Zero family for ultimate track performance is the P Zero Trofeo R. This ultra-low-profile tyre is race ready for dry track conditions. An innovative use of materials and compounds ensures precision steering and handling.
Track Adrenaline will be soon be available in select countries, let’s hope that Australia is one of those countries! The system can be downloaded as an app on your iPhone. Once you have your virtual driving assistant installed you can monitor lap times and telemetry data, as well as your tyre pressures, wear and temperature.
Some new P Zero tyres will be fitted with the data capture but you can also have it installed, then just download the app from the app store. This kind of technology was only available to top end race teams until now, thanks to Pirelli.
The P Zero range of tyres offer a wide choice when it comes to road and track use tyres. From the Corsa System with its asymmetric and directional options for front and rear tyres to the all-new strait P Zero tyre which has been designed to meet the performance needs of most modern vehicles.
