Pirelli Unveils P Zero Trofeo RS Tyres

Italian tyre maker Pirelli has introduced a tyre – the P Zero Trofeo RS. It’s an evolutionary derivative of the P Zero Trofeo R tyre, originally designed as an aftermarket upgrade. On the other hand, the new semi-slick rubber is intended as original equipment, specifically for high-performance supercars. Pagani was the first carmaker to order a specific version of the new tyre for its latest hypercar – the Utopia. Available from an on-demand portfolio, the P Zero Trofeo RS tyre can be tweaked for every model. That comes courtesy of the Multi-compound Tread, a technology that allows Pirelli to customise the tyre with different tread pattern compounds from its Prestige range to best complement the car’s characteristics. For now, the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tyre is available as original equipment. However, a range of new rubber will enter the aftermarket world later. The P Zero Trofeo R isn’t going anywhere.
