Key Features

When driving swiftly on dry roads, the 225-45-R19 Pirelli P Zero PZ4 provides excellent steering accuracy and confident cornering thanks to its advanced tread compound and structure. This ensures the vehicle remains firmly planted and reactive to driver inputs.

On wet surfaces, the tyre’s design helps to maintain effective contact with the road, reducing the risk of slipping and contributing to shorter braking distances, which enhances safety during sudden stops or rainfall conditions.

Thanks to its XL load rating, this tyre can support heavier vehicles without compromising stability, making it suitable for powerful SUVs and sporty saloons that require extra load capacity.

Moreover, with a fuel efficiency rating of A, the P Zero PZ4 assists in reducing rolling resistance, which can help save fuel during longer journeys, all while maintaining a quiet and comfortable ride thanks to its noise-optimised tread pattern.
