but can also handle the track. The compound, unique to Ford, is focused on dry road performance and the tire shows greater durability, too.

Both the E and Trofeo RS are part of the next-generation P Zero series designed for premium and high-end models that will start to roll out on vehicles from such automakers as Aston Martin, Pagani, Lotus, and Polestar. The P Zero debuted on the Ferrari F70 in 1987; a 17-inch tire on a road-going hypercar. In 2010 Pirelli introduced the P Zero Corsa for F1 and two years later added the P Zero Trofeo R for track use and street legal cars.
