The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tyre
The Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS is one of the fastest tyres tested, designed for track use but also road-legal, according to testing by Tyre Reviews.
It compared four products available on the European and North American markets. The P Zero Trofeo RS represents the pinnacle of Pirelli’s road range and incorporates technological solutions derived from its motorsport experience, where the company has competed at the highest levels for 120 years.
“I had to recalibrate my braking points twice because the grip was always beyond my expectations,” said Jonathan Benson during the dry handling test, where the P Zero Trofeo RS ranked first, setting the fastest lap time and proving to be “clearly superior”.
During testing, it enabled quick and precise turn-in, allowing earlier throttle application and delivering immediate traction on corner exit. The front axle showed a high level of grip and confidence. Jonathan added, “It was the first time I didn’t feel I had to constantly understeer through corners”. In the dry braking test, the P Zero Trofeo RS also ranked first, recording the shortest stopping distance.
In addition, the tyre stood out for its consistency of performance, confirming one of the product’s key characteristics. Even under the most demanding conditions, it can maintain high performance over time.
These characteristics were also confirmed by another recent test conducted by Auto Bild Sportscars, which compared five road-legal semi-slick tyres. In this test too, the P Zero Trofeo RS secured first place in the comparison with the rating ‘Exemplary’, achieving victory thanks to its best-in-class dry performance and high level of consistency over long distances.
Originally developed for original equipment, it is now also available on the replacement market, bringing Pirelli’s experience gained from bespoke fitments for the most high-performance models in the prestige and premium segments to all customers.
This ultra-high-performance tyre is designed for those seeking to maximise the performance of their vehicle. Although conceived for track use, Pirelli engineers have worked to ensure a high level of safety even on wet surfaces.
