The P Zero Run Flat tire is a Max Performance Summer tire that is designed for sports cars, sports coupes, and high-performance luxury sedans. It combines the knowledge gained from Pirelli's 100 years of motorsport experience with the convenience of temporary extended mobility in case of complete air pressure loss. This tire is used as Original Equipment on Mini Cooper S and BMW 7 Series sedans and is also available in other sizes for other vehicles. It is important to note that Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking in temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), and therefore, the P Zero Run Flat is not suitable for near-freezing temperatures, snow, or ice. The P Zero Run Flat tire features a unique silica and carbon black tread compound that performs well in cold conditions and maintains consistent performance throughout its lifespan. The tread design minimizes deformation and provides responsive handling, resistance to hydroplaning, and traction on wet and dry roads. It also ensures even wear and reduces noise for a comfortable ride. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by polyamide cord plies, as well as a combination of nylon and aramid cord to enhance high-speed capability and handling by controlling tire profile deformation. The sidewalls of the P Zero Run Flat tire have additional reinforcements that enable it to support the vehicle's weight in case of a loss in tire pressure. This run-flat capability allows drivers to travel up to 50 miles (80 km) at a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). To ensure safety, vehicles equipped with this tire should have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that can detect and signal changes in tire pressure. It is worth noting that tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls provide limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture causes a complete loss of air pressure. While they share some characteristics with run-flat tires, they should not be used as substitutes in situations where conventional run-flat tires are required. To determine the appropriate tire for your vehicle, consult the Original Equipment tire listing for your specific year, make, and model, or refer to your vehicle owner's manual.
