Three years in development, these clinchers include a Smartevo rubber compound that adapts to environmental changes and, says Pirelli, brings high levels of grip with low rolling resistance. On top of that, the P Zero tyres feature a lightweight Techbelt Road 127tpi casing that includes a layer of cut-resistant fabric for maximum puncture protection.

The result, according to Pirelli, is its best-performing clincher tyre yet.
