Pirelli P-ZERO XL – ELECT

The Mercedes EQS uses specific 265/35ZR22 P-Zero PZ4 XL- extra load tyres. The tyres have the ELECT^TM marking which denotes the tyres are from the new family of Electric vehicle (EV) tyres, developed for use specifically on electric and hybrid vehicles.

Pirelli claim three main advantages from their ELECT range. Low rolling resistance, to enhance range. Noise reduction – PNCS technology, and something Pirelli call “immediate grip”- this enables the tyre to bite into the road and deal with the increased torque from the new generation of vehicles. The tyres are also specially constructed to carry the extra weight of battery powered vehicles.

Pirelli have committed heavily to the advancement of their Elect range. Now producing Elect versions in many of their most popular ranges, P-ZERO, P-ZERO Winter, Sottozero 3 and Scorpion. Whatever the EV and wherever you take it, Pirelli should have a tyre suitable for your needs.

These EQS tyres also carry the MO marking – this is to show Mercedes and Pirelli worked in the homologation program to jointly develop these tyres. Maximising the performance, grip, and life of the tyres.

This tyre features Pirelli’s PNCS – Pirelli Noise Cancelling SystemTM. Technology that can lower the noise inside the cabin, using a special sound absorbing material applied to the inside of the tyre. According to Pirelli, this reduces apparent noise by up to half! A problem for all manufacturers to solve since the introduction of EVs. Without the usual distraction of noisy petrol or diesel engines, the only sounds produced, such as road and wind noise are much more apparent than driving a traditional internal combustion engine.
