What are the differences between Pirelli P7 and the new P7?
1 Answers
The differences between the old Pirelli P7 and the new P7 start with the tread pattern, which is different between the two. Then there's the sidewall—the old P7 has a thicker and harder sidewall compared to the new P7. Finally, in terms of performance, the old P7 offers better handling and slightly better wear resistance than the new P7. However, the new P7 shows significant improvements in grip, comfort, noise reduction, and lighter steering. Here are the detailed specifications: 1. The new Pirelli P7 is a high-performance, eco-friendly, comfortable, and safe tire, marking Pirelli's first 'green performance' tire. It is manufactured using the latest materials and optimized tread design. The compact central tread blocks and robust outer zones reduce tire deformation during sharp turns, enhancing cornering control. Its unique pitch sequence effectively reduces rolling noise. 2. The tread features four wide longitudinal grooves that improve water drainage, minimizing the risk of hydroplaning and ensuring superior safety and control. Both the new P7 and the old P7 use eco-friendly materials, significantly reducing environmental impact throughout the tire's production and usage lifecycle. 3. The new Pirelli P7 also incorporates innovative and advanced polymer materials, ensuring even pressure distribution across the tread for uniform wear. This extends the tire's lifespan while maintaining high levels of performance and safety. Additionally, the new P7 is a run-flat tire.
