About Pirelli 275\30 R20 97Y P ZERO™ (PZ4)

Tyre Size and Fitment

The 275/30 R20 size features a 275 mm section width, 30% aspect ratio and 20-inch rim diameter. Its low-profile design is suited to vehicles using 20-inch wheels where responsive steering and high-speed stability are important. The approved rim width range for this specification is approximately 9.0 to 10.0 inches, with some technical listings extending the approved range to 10.5 inches.

Load and Speed Rating

The 97 load index corresponds to a maximum single-tyre load of approximately 730 kg, while the Y speed rating is designed for speeds up to 300 km/h under the applicable conditions. The XL construction provides additional load capability compared with a standard-load tyre of the same basic size.

Wet-Road Performance

The P ZERO (PZ4) uses a high-silica inner tread compound and a tread design developed to improve water evacuation and wet-road control. This specific version carries a European wet-grip rating of A and an external rolling-noise rating of 69 dB.

Dry and Wet Grip

The asymmetric tread pattern incorporates three wide longitudinal grooves, three solid central ribs and an S-shaped tread design. These elements are engineered to maintain a stable contact area, support braking and handling performance, and assist water evacuation during wet driving.

Summer Performance

This is a summer Ultra-High-Performance tyre and is not designed for severe winter conditions. Pirelli lists it as not intended for severe ice and snow conditions, making it most appropriate for warm-weather road use.

Run Flat Technology

The Run Flat construction is designed to maintain vehicle stability and handling after a loss of tyre pressure, allowing the driver to continue controlling the vehicle following a puncture. The actual distance and speed permitted after pressure loss depend on the vehicle, tyre condition and manufacturer instructions.

Mercedes-Benz MOE Homologation

The MOE marking identifies a Mercedes-Benz original-equipment homologated Run Flat specification. This means the tyre has been developed and approved for specific Mercedes-Benz applications requiring the corresponding tyre specification.

Comfort and Noise

The P ZERO (PZ4) incorporates a customised outer tread design and optimised tread sequence intended to reduce rolling noise and rolling resistance while maintaining the performance characteristics expected from an Ultra-High-Performance tyre. The European external rolling-noise value for this specification is 69 dB.

Production Year

This product listing is specified as 2024. The exact manufacturing date of an individual tyre should be confirmed from its DOT or production-date marking on the sidewall.

Who Should Consider This Tyre?

The Pirelli P ZERO (PZ4) 275/30 R20 97Y XL Run Flat * MOE is suited to drivers of compatible Mercedes-Benz and other approved applications who require a low-profile 20-inch summer tyre with high-speed capability, strong wet-grip characteristics, XL load construction and Run Flat technology.
