Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) tires

Pirelli has changed the whole range of slick tyres for World Championship Formula 1 2012 year and also represents a modified version of rain tires. No changes were only interim Cinturato tires Green.

The characteristics of the tyres which meet the requirements of the teams in the year 2012, expectations of the past year: tires that help ensure spectacular competitions with at least two pit stops during a race and a great variety of strategic schemes. When designing new tyres Pirelli for season 2012 years were taken into account the measures taken by the FIA rule changes relating to the exhaust system.

** Tires become rectangular **. The first major innovation this year was the creation of a new profile. 2012 year tyres are more angular profile to reduce wear, which is especially critical for the shoulder of the tyre. New front and rear profiles are designed to more evenly distribute the load in a spot contact. This modification drafted load distribution and temperature across the surface of the tires, designed to reduce the risk of bubbles and wear zone distribution on a larger surface contact area. This has increased the period of time during which the tyre can work with maintaining performance with maximum loads, while maintaining durability indicators in terms of the number of laps, who tyre can pass.

** Tires ** become softer. For the 2012 championship year Pirelli several completely new formulations, except sverhmâgkih tires that have only changed profile. The aim of the changes is to decrease the difference in characteristics between buses of various compositions.

For dry weather tyres-slicks-different tread surfaces without grooves and blocks. These tires are made in four versions, differing in compound potektora: super soft, soft, medium and hard. Different formulations ensure maximum compliance with the conditions of buses of different slopes: asphalt type, quantity and steepness of twists and turns, as well as the maximum speed on the straights. This allows teams to use many different options strategies.

** Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) Red ** super soft tyre for urban trails. Of the four presented types of slick is the only composition, remaining unchanged from 2011 onwards. He revealed himself as exceptionally versatile, demonstrating high performance with maximum loads slow and twisty tracks characterized by slippery asphalt and low transverse loads. It is an ideal composition for urban trails or coatings with variable characteristics.

** Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) Yellow **, softer, less prone to bubbles. New soft tires are well suited for tracks with low wear of the tyres. They are created to ensure a higher level of the clutch in combination with significant speed degradation, resulting in reduced service life of the tyre. It gives teams ample opportunity in applying the strategy of pit stops and more tight races. Compared with similar tyres 2011 new year soft part is thermostable, which reduces the risk of bubbles. Tested for the first time during free practice at closing the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, new soft tyres will become one of the most popular types of 2012 season of the year, along with medium hardness. This combination provides excellent flexibility and small warm-up.

** Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) White **, medium-sized tires, well suitable for all conditions. These exceptionally versatile tires work well in all conditions of the road, especially when the characteristics of asphalt and road range. Latest tyres Pirelli PZero ** Formula 1 (2012) White ** intended for use as an "extra" on highways with high temperatures or extremely abrasive or corrosive coatings or as "core" tyres for slopes with less severe coating, different lower requirements for tyres.

The new medium was tested last year during free practice for the German Grand Prix, and was also used in the test races young pilots in Abu Dhabi. ** Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) Silver **, hard, but not hard. New hard tyres guarantee maximum durability and minimum wear and optimal durability in the most extreme conditions, but they are more lenient when compared to equivalent tires last year. ** Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) Silver ** ideal for long distances, require more time to warm up and designed for tracks with abrasive asphalt, significant transverse loads and high temperatures. New ** Pirelli PZero Formula 1 (2012) Silver ** tested at the track in Barcelona test driver Lucas di Grassi Pirelli, and these are the only tires from new line, with which existing pilots not yet familiar.
