Building on the legendary P700™ racing tire's legacy, the P700-Z™ incorporates an ultra-low profile, embodying its predecessor's motorsport pedigree.

The tread design showcases a wide central rib and large directionally oriented tread blocks, ensuring outstanding grip and performance in wet conditions.
Key features of the 235/45 ZR 15 PIRELLI P700-Z include excellent braking performance, particularly in the wet, accompanied by a minimized noise level compared to older tires. The P700-Z also demonstrates exceptional resistance to aquaplaning, both on straight stretches and during cornering.
