P7 features an asymmetrical tread design combining stiff shoulder tread blocks and a continuous solid rib on the outer portion of its pattern to resist lateral forces. The inner ribs combine circumferential and curved transverse grooves for rapid water expulsion from the contact patch to enhance wet traction and reduce the possibility of hydroplaning. The tyre features a wide footprint with a uniform distribution of load pressures to promote even tyre wear and reduce rolling resistance.

Pirelli's innovative STEP project (Safety from Technically Engineered Profile) has developed the P7 profile to achieve reduced deformation in the critical areas for greater reliability and structural integrity.

Pirelli's patented ELRR (Extra Low Rolling Resistance) system results in the belting and carcass materials being designed and constructed to improve flexibility, increase rolling smoothness, reduce overall weight, optimise integrity and lower fuel consumption.

Pirelli's P7 was developed for the drivers of high performance and luxury performance cars and is designed to combine the ability to control horsepower with elegance and driving comfort.
