The Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Elect is a summer tyre designed for Pirelli’s EV/HEV range. It is an ultra-high-performance tyre designed for the different torque characteristics caused by having an electric drive system. Additionally, hybrids with internal combustion engines weigh more than their non-hybrid counterparts, which is why Pirelli's Elect line is designed with a heavier focus on the needs of plug-in hybrids.
Because electric vehicles change the position of the weight on the tyre due to their instantaneous acceleration and deceleration, the internal structure of the tyre has been reinforced. Summer tyres are designed for when the temperature is above 7 degrees centigrade, and the asymmetric tread pattern and design help with cornering. At the centre of the tyre, there are wide grooves to help with water dispersion.
There are also ultra-fine slits in the tread to help with wet traction. The Elect mark on the sidewall indicates that this tyre has been designed specifically for plug-in hybrids and is a summer tyre. We sell the Pirelli P Zero (PZ4) Elect at Tyres.co.uk.
