This week, the famous Italian manufacturer Pirelli reminded us why its name is synonymous with racing and supercars! We were treated to the unveiling of an impressive new performance tire for passenger cars: the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS. Initially designed for car manufacturers, it will make its debut on the consumer market at a future date... Ultra-sport car enthusiasts will be able to try them out on their new vehicles as original equipment, at least for the time being.
What makes them unique is their innovative design, developed from data acquired by the company's motorsport division. They also feature a range of exclusive technologies created with revolutionary data processing techniques. Combining a technique perfected over 150 years ago with the very latest in modern technology, the result looks set to be a resounding success.
From gum to sculpture
Taking inspiration from their racing cousins, the P Zero Trofeo RS offer ultimate performance on the track, but they're also safe on the road. Pirelli's engineers have made no compromises in the design of this tire, using high-quality materials and enabling unprecedented customization. In fact, the company offers a tire customization service that allows you to have a tread to suit your vehicle. All you have to do is choose from their Prestige catalog of composite rubber compounds for the perfect experience.
Indeed, it's above all the advances in materials that enable the latest Trofeo to surpass the limits. Its multi-composite tread gives the tire equal grip and handling by combining the strengths of several additives. As well as improving acceleration and cornering, it has all the safety features of a conventional tire. Even in the rain, it will protect you!
Created with art and science
How did Pirelli manage to create such a tire, you may ask. Well, I'll tell you, it's thanks to a brand-new method called Virtual Geometry Development. Using cutting-edge virtual modeling technology, the company is able to accurately calculate how the tire will react in all conditions.How did Pirelli manage to create such a tire, you may ask.

For the moment, they're not available from tire retailers like Blackcircles.ca, but at least the P Zero range is already well stocked, with models like the P Zero Corsa or the P Zero All Season Plus 3.
