On Pole

Thanks MM3.9GT3, I have been running mine to hard.

P Zero™ Trofeo has a quite stiff construction and does not usually require higher pressures for racetrack use. It is designed for use at a pressure of approximately 2 bar, to be adjusted according to the type of car.

The figures indicated refer to the “operating pressure”: the pressure of the tyre when it is fully warmed up to working temperature. For accurate calibration, it is essential to consider that the difference in temperature between a “cold” tyre and a “hot” one is quite significant, normally 0.5 bar.

I had them on my .2GT3, and a friend of mine on his .1RS.

The same conclusion:
Great grip, horrible longevity. They wear like qualification rubber. And very expensive too! I had the Corsa's, Michelin Cups and Trofeo's on my car, and for me the best choice still is the Corsa. Lasts longer than the others (but must say it is quite close to the Michelin Cup, Trofeo goes like twice as fast), has nearly the same grip level as a cup in the dry, and you can still drive them in the wet without sh*tting your pants.

I have the Corsa System tires on my GT3, and the Trofeos on the RGT. I agree that the Trofeos wear at a faster rate, but they have more grip, and for me, they feel more predictable.

For 19" tires, the Corsa System set costs $2,204 (Tire Rack) vs. the Trofeo cost of $1,648 (Bob Woodman Tires).

Hi. If anyone is interested, I have a set of Pirelli P Zero Trafeo 265/35/19 285/35/19 for sale.

They have 131.7 miles on them. Unfortunately, they're too aggressive for my M3.

I am willing to sell them for a great price and will split up. I am also willing to ship. Please email me at seanmota54 at yahoo.com.

Thank you!

I understand that they perform the best on track around 2 bar. But how about street use? Are you guys running the same pressure too? Is 32 front 34 rear ok for street use? Or I have to go a bit lower. I have them on my 997.1tt and did one track day and going to use the tires on street. Just not sure what pressure I should be running on the street.

Trofeo on street use, highway use, will be toast in 20 one-way drives, or 10 commute drives, they are track tires, very sensitive to heat cycles wear.

In U.S., I see no purpose for them, given the speed limits. They also need to be heat up, so poor choice for illegal street racing.

Thanks for the information. I am not doing street racing. Just normal driving.
As I already brought the tires and don't want to go to track any more. I just want to use them as my street summer tire. What pressure I should run with them?
Also after 20 heat cycles, are they bad? how will they compare to PSS in dry after 20 heat cycles?

I've been using Trofeo R's on the street for 1000 miles and they are in great shape still. I have done countless launches and abuse the tires every time I go out. They hook on launches and take exit ramps at high speeds. Very predictable on the street. Running 245/35/19 & 315/30/19 on my 997.2 Turbo.

I think this correct. It's fast rubber when new. This rubber can however be heat cycled out. 20-25 heat cycles was my experience. Then toast.

When they reach that point they can have tread left, but are way less grippy on the limit than they were, and I found they do let go very unpredictably.
