The Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde was designed not only with a view to driver safety but also with environmental protection in mind, and features Green Performance technology in order to achieve both of these aims. The key benefits of the Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde include lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, excellent mileage performance, superb handling and low tyre noise.
The Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde is manufactured using a hybrid rubber compound and features an original tread pattern which provides outstanding grip on wet and dry roads. The optimised tread design with a dense network of sipes significantly reduces tyre noise and therefore increases driving comfort. The tyre's tension control system, which minimises vibrations and their effects, also increases driving pleasure. The aerodynamic sidewall and lightweight design of the tyre guarantee low rolling resistance, which reduces not only fuel consumption but also harmful emissions.
The Pirelli P1 Cinturato Verde is fitted as original equipment in vehicles manufactured by the following companies: Skoda, Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, MINI and Audi.
Giovanni Battista Pirelli designed his first tyre - the Milano bicycle tyre - in 1890. His first tyre for cars, the Ercole, was launched on the market 11 years later. Pirelli knew that he would need to promote the product in order to make it a success, and so he decided to become involved in one of Italy's all-time favourite pastimes - motor sports. His decision paid off quickly and the company chalked up its first sporting successes by the start of the 20th century, rapidly achieving fame as a result. The manufacturer is currently the fifth largest tyre manufacturer in the world. Pirelli is famous not only for manufacturing tyres, but also for its annual calendar featuring unique photos of the most popular models by the most talented photographers in the world.
