The Pirelli P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico is an extreme performance track tire designed as part of the P Zero Corsa System, engineered specifically for rear axle applications though capable of use on all four wheel positions for track-driven cars prioritizing maximum dry grip. This tire represents Pirelli's ultimate street-legal track day offering, featuring semi-slick low void ratio tread design with large external shoulder structure incorporating minimal groove patterns to maximize contact patch during aggressive cornering. The asymmetric and directional tread design requires separate left and right side tires for proper vehicle fitment, with typical tread depth ranging from 6/32 to 8/32 inches balancing track performance with reasonable initial wet weather capability before wear reduces tread depth further. The P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico utilizes highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon enhancing cornering stability and providing high-speed capability while reducing overall weight.
The Pirelli P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico delivers extreme sporting performance optimized for track use with emphasis on ultimate dry grip and high-speed capability approaching full racing slick performance while maintaining minimal DOT-legal tread pattern. However, Pirelli explicitly states these tires are not recommended for driving in wet conditions where standing water is present, and are not intended for operation in near-freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice where compound characteristics become unsuitable and dangerous. The tire serves serious track day enthusiasts and time attack competitors who demand maximum dry grip for competitive lap times while accepting significant limitations in wet weather capability and complete unsuitability for winter conditions. The P Zero Corsa System represents Pirelli's commitment to providing street-legal track tire options delivering racing performance for dedicated enthusiasts, though users must understand these tires require dry conditions, proper warm-up procedures, and acceptance that their extreme specialization makes them inappropriate for varied weather driving or daily transportation duties where all-season capabilities would be essential.
