Overview

Why Choose the Pirelli P Zero Race for Tube Type Racing?

The Pirelli P Zero Race is the benchmark road race tire for tube-type clincher setups, built in Italy with the motorsport DNA that defines the entire P ZERO family. Pirelli's SmartEVO Compound delivers the ideal balance of grip, low rolling resistance, and durability for road racing and high-intensity training, with all-weather performance built into a single-compound formulation based on three different polymers. Each polymer contributes opposing performance characteristics that combine into a perfect blend of grip, speed, and reliability across the conditions road racers actually encounter.

The 120tpi TechBELT casing provides exceptional comfort and puncture protection at race weight, with a nylon reinforcement layer beneath the tread that adds real flat protection without compromising rolling efficiency or supple ride feel. Available in multiple widths to suit modern road setups, the P Zero Race is the right choice for riders who run tube-type clincher setups and want proven World Tour performance without the complexity of switching to tubeless. Pairs naturally with Pirelli's SmarTUBE for an optimized system weight.
