Is the noise level high for the new Pirelli P1 tires?
1 Answers
Pirelli's new P1 features a special audio-tuned tread pattern design (to reduce tire noise), with a relatively high tread hardness (56HA). There is no noticeable impact during daily city driving, but at high speeds, the tire noise becomes distinctly audible, somewhat affecting the overall driving experience. Here are some extended details: 1. Materials: The new Pirelli P1 utilizes high-performance hybrid materials, significantly improving both tire durability and grip performance compared to the old P1 tires. Additionally, the internal structure of the new P1 includes a 5-layer tread cap consisting of 2 steel layers, 2 polyester fiber layers, and 1 polyamide (nylon) layer, while the sidewalls have 2 polyester fiber layers. This design effectively prevents tire bulging and severe wear. 2. Performance: The new Pirelli P1 is a high-performance tire focused on safety and durability. It not only offers excellent wear resistance but also employs a unique asymmetric tread pattern that enhances grip and improves water drainage. Furthermore, the new P1 incorporates the familiar "RUN-FLAT" technology (with reinforced sidewall structures), allowing the tire to support lateral and transverse loads even when deflated.
