PIRELLI EQUIPS THE ASTON MARTIN DBX707: THE MOST POWERFUL LUXURY SUV IN THE WORLD A NEW P ZERO TIRE IS BORN FOR SPORTING PERFORMANCE ALONGSIDE A SCORPION ZERO ALL SEASONFOR USE ALL YEAR ROUND

 High performance, control and comfort are the main characteristics that bind the new Aston Martin DBX707 - the most powerful luxury SUV in the world, as well as the most powerful version of the British manufacturer's SUV - to the Pirelli P ZERO tires. Specially developed for this car, these tires highlight Pirelli’s focus on the high value segment.

P ZERO AND SCORPION TIRES, MADE TO MEASURE The 707 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque generated by the Aston Martin DBX707’s engine make this luxury SUV the most powerful of its kind in the world. In order to cope with these extremely high levels of performance, Pirelli’s engineers have created new tailor-made tires for it, on top of the 22-inch tire already made for the DBX: P ZERO in 285/35R23 size at the front and 325/30R23 for the rear.

These P ZERO tires benefit from a compound that’s derived from the Aston Martin’s famed grand touring models in order to enhance the car’s performance as much as possible, with greater rigidity in the sidewall thanks to a specific geometry in the canvas that makes up the structure of the tire. The considerable size of this tire allows for a more direct steering response and increased cornering speeds on track.

For those wanting a solution that they can use all year on multiple road surfaces – dry, wet or light snow – the SCORPION ZERO ALL SEASON is also available (in two sizes) complete with its distinctive A8A marking, which identifies these tires as having been specially made for the Aston Martin DBX. SILENT TIRES WITH MAXIMUM COMFORT To ensure that driver comfort is as impressive as performance, these tires are equipped with PNCS (Pirelli Noise Cancelling System) in the front tire size, which are designed for road noise to be reduced. The PNCS technology is made up of a sound-absorbing material placed within the tire that is engineered to soak up all the vibrations that would otherwise be transmitted into the cabin, resulting in the rolling noise from the tires being reduced.

MADE IN ITALY WITH MIRS TECHNOLOGY The tires for the Aston Martin DBX707 are made in Pirelli’s Settimo Torinese factory, just on the outskirts of Turin, using the robots from Pirelli’s MIRS system (Modular Integrated Robot System) and the most advanced technology dedicated to the production of ultra-high performance road car tires. PIRELLI AND ASTON MARTIN The collaboration between these two historic automotive icons has grown with the passage of time. The new DBX707, which comes exclusively with Pirelli tires, expands Aston Martin’s range of Pirelli-equipped cars, including the DBX, DBS, and Vantage models.
