Asymmetric tyre based on a design philosophy whose conception is derived from the Pirelli Ultra High Performance products for road use.
The outer shoulder guarantees optimal contact on curves, while the inner part allows the tyre to work correctly even on wet asphalt when there is a potential risk of aquaplaning.
The new Pirelli P Zero asphalt tyre for the WRC, similarly to what happens in the case of products destined for ordinary standard production cars, can be used on both dry and wet road surfaces.

Two compounds are foreseen, to cover an extremely wide range of conditions:

• - a soft compound, especially for damp or wet asphalt, on a smooth surface and for dry but cold weather


• - a hard compound, developed instead for courses with more abrasive asphalt and for medium or high temperatures.
