MILAN, Italy — Pirelli & C. S.p.A. is releasing a collection of four new tires for the Porsche 911 GT3 model, designed for pleasant driving on the road and on the track.
Pirelli created P Zero Trofeo RS and P Zero Corsa tires for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, as well as P Zero Trofeo R and P Zero Corsa tires for the 911 GT3.
The P Zero Trofeo RS, which Pirelli said is the most performance-orientated product in its range, was named the best street-legal semi-slick tire for track driving by German magazine Auto Bild Sportscars, which recently compared several tires on a 911 GT3 RS, Pirelli said.
Creating tires for the 911 GT3 RS posed several technical challenges, as the tires had to "enhance the characteristics of the car on the road but also deliver performance close to that of a racing car, thanks to the extreme aerodynamics and lightness of the vehicle," Pirelli said.
The P Zero Corsa and P Zero Trofeo RS are both available in size 275/35R20 for the front axle and 335/30R21 for the rear.
The P Zero Trofeo RS is a semi-slick tire designed to achieve high performance on a circuit. It's built to allow drivers to push the limit on the track from the first lap with a fast warm-up capability that offers immediate grip, a strengthened internal structure that offers reduced wear rate and resists stress, a tread design optimized through virtual simulation and dedicated materials made from an asphalt rally compound. The tire works in wet and dry conditions.
The P Zero Corsa is more road-oriented.
The P Zero Trofeo R created for the Porsche 911 GT3 "also features technologies and processes that were born in the world of motorsport," Pirelli said.
Both the P Zero Trofeo R and the P Zero Corsa for the 911 GT3 are available in 255/35R20 and 315/30R21 sizes.
