Updated specifically for the Porsche 911 GTS to enhance its qualities and driving pleasure, the P Zero R is available as original equipment on this model for the first time. The Pirelli P Zero R offers a balance between performance and versatility. Additionally, the P Zero R provides grip on a wide range of surfaces and in all sorts of weather, with a particular focus on wet conditions, courtesy of a newly designed compound.
