Popular Pirelli tyres

The most popular Pirelli tyre is the P Zero range which first appeared in 1987. The P Zero is considered to be the best performance tyre on the market, recently winning Tyre Seeker’s UHP Tyre Test. The test involves five different manufacturers competing on a wet and dry track for handling, braking, corning and aquaplaning (on the wet test track only). Pirelli came out on top due to its performance in these four areas.

The P Zero tyres are best used during the summer months in comparison to other seasons.

The Pirelli Cinturato and Scorpion tyres are also highly rated among customers. These ranges have different types of tyres depending on weather conditions, so customers can easily switch between tyres within the range depending on the season.

How to read Pirelli tyre markings

Pirelli follows a universal formula when it comes to tyre markings. Although they appear complicated at first, once you understand what each letter or number means you’ll have almost all the information about your vehicle's tyres.

The elements of the tyre markings are:

• First letter - type of vehicle the tyre is intended for
• Tyre width
• Aspect ratio
• Optional letter indicating how the body of the tyre is constructed
• Rim diameter
• Load index
• Speed rating
