P Zero Corsa System Streetable Track & Competition tires have been developed for the drivers of high-powered, super sports cars primarily for extreme road use, as well as track use at driver's schools and lapping days. Original Equipment for the road versions of Ferrari 360 Challenge, Lamborghini Gallardo and Porsche GT2 & GT3 cars, the P Zero Corsa System was designed to maximize a car's performance to satisfy even the most demanding driver in terms of dry handling and braking without abandoning wet traction and noise comfort. The P Zero Corsa System incorporates Pirelli's racing experience to enhance driving satisfaction at the limits.

P Zero Corsa System radials meet DOT requirements, however they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. And like all Streetable Track & Competition tires, P Zero Corsa System radials are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. It's also essential these tires be stored indoors at temperatures maintained above 32 degrees F.

The P Zero Corsa System offers three different competition-type tread designs that include P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires for the front axle (designed to penetrate the water surface and help clear a path for the rear tires) and either P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico or P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico 2 tires for use on the rear axle.

The P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires mold Pirelli's innovative racing tread compound into a semi-slick, V-shaped directional tread design. The tire's internal structure includes ultra-light, flexible belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon and a very stiff sidewall construction resulting in a wide footprint area to enhance dry grip while directional grooves increase hydroplaning resistance.

The P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico tread design features a semi-slick, low void ratio and a large external shoulder structure with a minimum number of grooves to eliminate the blocky structure of a conventional pattern. The P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico asymmetric and directional tread design requires separate left and right side tires for the vehicle as branded on each tire's sidewall. The tire's internal structure includes highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to enhance cornering stability and provide high-speed capability while reducing weight.

The P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico 2 tread design is inspired by Pirelli's P Zero Max Performance Summer tire and features a semi-slick, low void ratio and a large external shoulder structure. The P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico 2's asymmetric tread design allows it to be used on both left and right sides of the vehicle. The tire's internal structure includes highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to enhance cornering stability and provide high-speed capability while reducing weight.

NOTE: While it is recommended that P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires only be used on the front axle positions of mid- and rear-engine cars, P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico and Asimmetrico 2 tires can also be used on all four wheel positions of track driven cars, as well as front-engine and front-wheel drive cars.

The P Zero Corsa System tires are typically molded with 6/32" to 8/32" of tread depth in their grooves and can be left unshaved for use on damp tracks or shaved to approximately 4/32" of tread depth to begin competitive road racing/track use in dry conditions.

Warning: P Zero Corsa System radials meet DOT requirements, however they are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present and there is the risk of hydroplaning; drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds if they encounter these conditions. This is especially true of shaved or worn tires. And like other Streetable Track & Competition tires, these tires are not intended to be stored, serviced nor driven in near- or below freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Customers Say

Customers say the Pirelli P Zero Corsa System delivers outstanding dry traction and precise cornering for track days and autocross, with many praising its confidence-inspiring grip once warmed up. Wet performance receives mixed feedback, with some noting decent rain grip while others report hydroplaning risks in standing water. Treadwear is polarizing: some users report impressive longevity for a track-focused tire when properly heat-cycled and pressure-managed, while others experience rapid wear during aggressive track use. Several emphasize the importance of strict temperature management, noting compromised performance below 50°F. Though expensive, enthusiasts appreciate its dual-track/street capability when used as intended.

...I got half that with Michelin Pilot Cup tires and the Pirellis were not only stickier, but they did not hydroplane at 75 mph in a rain storm while the Michelins would not do better than 50 in the same conditions...

Although I use my GT3 as a daily driver, I also autocross it and do several track days [er year. As is typical with a 911 Porsche, you can go through two sets of rear tires per one set of fronts. I just changed my rears out at 7000 miles and can only say that that is phenomenal. I got half that with Michelin Pilot Cup tires and the Pirellis were not only stickier, but they did not hydroplane at 75 mph in a rain storm while the Michelins would not do better than 50 in the same conditions. My track times were quicker and I was alwaays comfortable wit hthe cornering proess.

...Very good grip in dry (maybe just a notch below Michelins) but very good in rain, including 6 sessions in the wet at the Glen...

Replaced my OEM Michelins after 2,000 street miles and 1 track day. Pirellis on front and rear with 3,000 miles plus 6 Track days at VIR and Watkins Glen. Very good grip in dry (maybe just a notch below Michelins) but very good in rain, including 6 sessions in the wet at the Glen. Also wearing much better than the Michelins. I've never been a big Pirelli fan but so far I would definitely recommend these tires over the Sport Cups.

Both my '07 and '10 GT3 came fitted with the Pirelli Corsa System tires, initially I was dissapointed that they were not fitted with the Michelin MPSC+, however for wet weather driving the Corsa is superior in its grip, ability to clear water, and to avoid aquaplaning than the Michelin; while giving up a little on the extreme dry traction (track).

Overall, if you plan to drive your 911 in the wet, I believe the Pirelli is a better choice than the Michelin...

if you only drive in the dry, and on the track the Michelin is a better extreme dry tire...

These P Zero Corsa tires are unlike any tire I have had before in road adhesion, steering stability and inspiring a general feeling of confidence... The first time high speed corner, my M3 almost telepathically steered itself into the sweeper, and what's more unusual, I feel like I can now place the front end of my car at any (preferably late) apex point...

These P Zero Corsa tires are unlike any tire I have had before in road adhesion, steering stability and inspiring a general feeling of confidence. For some background, I drive a '05 M3 with Bilstein PSS9 coilovers and CSL anti-roll bars. I run 255/35/19 s up front and 285/30/19 s in the rear at 36 psi all around. The first time high speed corner, my M3 almost telepathically steered itself into the sweeper, and what's more unusual, I feel like I can now place the front end of my car at any (preferably late) apex point. The front end now feels darty, but in a good way. For comparison, the car has been fitted with Michelin PS2 tires and Conti 5P, which are well regarded, and Goodyear Gen 1 Asymmetrics, where they won EVO Magazines tire test, and none of these tires compare to these Corsa tires. These tires just hang on and add a higher degree of road holding than I am used to. If anyone is looking for a super-stick tire, this is the one.

...It really puts the power to the ground, has excellent steering response with an exceptional ride...

The Pirelli P Zero Corsa came as standard equipment on my Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. I was skeptical about the tire life being a 60 wear rated tire, but to my surprise, it appears like they may last about 12-14k miles, which is excellent for a streetable track tire. I have been blown away by the overall performance of the tire. It really puts the power to the ground, has excellent steering response with an exceptional ride. They have totally surpassed my expectations and definitely a re-purchase candidate for my next replacement set. My last good set of tires were the Michelin Pilot Super Sport on my 2015 M3, and I have to say, the Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires are much better handling, better riding, and even quieter than the Michelins. I¿m also surprised to see that I will be getting a full 70% of the life of Michelins with the Pirellis despite an anticipated much much shorter estimated tread life (60 vs 280). The key to me is not how long the tire meanders along over a slightly longer life so much as how well it performs during it¿s actual useable life. The Pirelli is significantly better than the Michelin in pretty much every regard despite lasting for a shorter timeframe, but that is to be expected for an ultra high performance streetable track tire. If you are seeking the best performing tire over a few extra miles of treadwear for your high performance car, definitely consider the Pirelli P Zero Corsa.

...I have 14 30 min sessions on these tires along with 30+ autocross runs and over 5k of street mileage, unbelieveable! By far one of the best tires if money wasn't an issue, they can do it all.

Came as factory tire on my car and I couldn't be happier. I have 14 30 min sessions on these tires along with 30+ autocross runs and over 5k of street mileage, unbelieveable! By far one of the best tires if money wasn't an issue, they can do it all. Have already purchased a second set and will run again in this years track season.

67 customers mention "Treadwear"

  • 39 positive
  • 28 negative

Customers report mixed treadwear experiences, with some praising durability through multiple track days (scores 7-8) and others noting rapid wear after 100 track miles. Proper heat cycling and pressure management (30 psi hot) extend lifespan, but uneven shoulder wear occurs. Street use sees 12-15k miles, exceeding expectations for a 60-treadwear track-focused tire.

...I put 6,000 miles on them and you could not even tell they have worn at all...

Don be fooled by the "comp" rating or "wear" rating. I put these on OEM Z06 wheels (10.5") width and they fit fine and put the rubber right to the edge of the wheel well without sticking out. These tires have excellent traction and held up exceptionally well to wear. I put 6,000 miles on them and you could not even tell they have worn at all. Would recomend to spririted drivers.

...I am finally having to put on new tires on the rear at 8000 miles which for a competition oriented tire is phenomonal. It also means that I can drive to the track and home again without switching wheels...

Amazing combination of traction and longevity of tire tread. I am finally having to put on new tires on the rear at 8000 miles which for a competition oriented tire is phenomonal. It also means that I can drive to the track and home again without switching wheels. With the system, I also found that I could drive in the wet at highway speeds (75 mph) without hydroplanning as the front tires evacuated water so the rear tires were on just wet pavemen. As the fronts are wearing down now that part of the performance is not as good.

The Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce. That's "super fast" in Italian and Motor Trend Head 2 Head's Jonny Lieberman and Randy Pobst are ready to see just how fast. Its 740 hp will need a lot of tire and the enormous Pirelli Corsas its equipped with are up to the test.

Let's see how they handle Willow Springs' 100 mile per hour sweepers.
