Ferrari completes testing of new tyres for the Enzo

The testing of the Pirelli P Zero Corsa System tyre which was developed specifically for the Enzo Ferrari has concluded at Fiorano track.

Despite maintaining the same size and aspect ratio, the tyre is now crafted with state-of-the-art materials, compounds, and technology which delivers levels of grip, performance and safety which are on par with modern tyres. The newly tested P Zero Corsa System tyre is now available for the Enzo Ferrari in the original 245/35 R19 (front) and 345/35 R19 (rear) sizes. The tyres feature two different directional and asymmetric tread patterns, designed to counter aquaplaning.

On top of this, Ferrari has also officially approved the use of P Zero and P Zero Corsa System tyres in the Collezione range. These tyres are already offered by Pirelli as aftermarket products for both the F40 and F50. At its launch in 1987, the F40 was the first high-performance car to be fitted with the new Pirelli P Zero tyre. Now, an updated version has been introduced in the original sizes of 245/40 R17 (front) and 335/35 R17 (rear). The tyres have been modified, matching the original lettering on the tyre walls.

For the Collezione range for the 1995 F50, the P Zero Corsa System tyres are in sizes 245/35 R18 (front) and 335/30 R18 (rear). Similar to those of the Enzo Ferrari, these tyres were put through development testing at Fiorano, ensuring they respect the performance of the original tyres. 

Ferrari has future plans to improve tyres fitted on its legendary race cars such as the GTO

Tyres to fit the 1987 GTO are currently under development. It is expected that a Legacy Tour set to happen from 1 October to 4 October 2024 will be dedicated to this vehicle. The tyre which Pirelli have prepared for the GTO is the P7 Cinturato, originally developed using the experiences gained from the World Rally Championship. The first modern tyre to feature a low aspect ratio handling, the P7 will be available in the original sizes of 225/50 R16 front and 265/50 R16 rear. 

Ferrari states that its commitment to providing owners of historically important Prancing Horse models with the peace of mind that their cars can be used safely on the roads is showed through the approval of these replacement tyres.
