Pirelli has ‘stepped back in time’ and recreated its famous P Zero brand, now in its fifth generation after being initially launched 40 years ago.
The latest version of this iconic tyre is being fitted to the classic Lancia Delta S4 Stradale which is also celebrating its 40th anniversary with a limited edition for 40 sets
It is available in 205/55 R16 size, the only one originally developed of the Pirelli Collezione line, dedicated to iconic vehicles built between 1930 and 2000. Like every tyre in this range, it is distinguished by its appearance, the same as that of the era, but has been produced with modern materials and technologies that combine the original sportiness of the car with greater safety.
The re-edition of the tyre also features the innovative elements that characterized its debut. Such as a single tread that combines the three souls of the racing tire: the inner shoulder, with grooves like wet-weather tyres, ensured grip on wet roads. The outer shoulder, inspired by slick tyres, provided traction in dry conditions. Whilst the central part of the tread adopted some of the hallmarks of intermediate tyres, balancing the two extremes.
