Product Overview

The 225-35-R20 90Y XL Pirelli P Zero RFT tyre is designed for drivers seeking exceptional control and responsiveness in a summer tyre that can handle powerful cars.

Its robust build supports extra load capacity, making it ideal for sporty vehicles requiring both performance and safety.

Key Features

When pushing the limits on dry roads, the 225 35 R20 90Y XL P Zero excels by delivering sharp steering feedback and stable cornering that keeps the car firmly on course. This ensures confidence during dynamic driving scenarios.

Thanks to the advanced summer compound, this run-flat tyre maintains strong braking capabilities even on wet surfaces, providing peace of mind when conditions suddenly change. The B grade wet grip confirms its reliable stopping power.

In addition, the tyre’s reinforced sidewall structure supports heavier loads without compromising ride comfort, making it suitable for high-performance vehicles that demand both agility and durability.

Despite its sporty focus, noise levels are kept relatively moderate at 72dB, contributing to a more pleasant journey on longer drives and motorway stretches.
