Pirelli P7000 SuperSport
Derived from European rally tires and tuned for American roads and weather, the P7000 SuperSport Ultra High Performance All-Season tire refutes the belief that motorsport tires are so single purpose that they no longer help improve the tires motorists drive on public roads. The proof is demonstrated by the P7000 SuperSport’s tread design which is patterned after the intermediate tarmac rally tires used to win the 1995 world championship Monte Carlo Rally. The P7000 SuperSport is designed to combine ultra high performance with year round traction, even in light snow.
Tread pattern
Many of the P7000 SuperSport 's features are integrated into its multi-purpose directional tread design. Twin circumferential grooves flank the center rib to channel water while additional diagonal and inclined circumferential grooves further minimize hydroplaning. The continuous center rib provides constant road contact to enhance straight-line tracking and dry road response. The tread is molded out of Pirelli’s 100% silica compound with siped independent shoulder and intermediate tread blocks to provide biting edges that generate light snow traction. On the inside, the P7000 SuperSport radial features twin steel belts reinforced by nylon that stabilize the tread area to enhance handling and high speed durability. The rayon carcass (either one- or two-ply depending on tire size) uses Kevlar reinforced beads to provide sharp steering response.
The P7000 SuperSport radial’s styling features black letters reversed out of a stylized serrated band, are W-speed rated and available in 55-, 50-, 45-, 40- and 35-series sizes for 16" through 19" wheel diameters.
