PZero in numbers
-Over 100 elements in each tyre
-18 structural components
-5 hours of work needed to make each tyre
-Approximately 8,5 kg is the total weight of a front wheel and tyre
-Approximately 9,5 kg is the total weight of a rear wheel and tyre
-About 1,800 tyres are taken to each Grand Prix
-30 laps is the average working life of each tyre in race conditions
-450 kph is the maximum speed reached by the tyres during laboratory testing
-260 kph is the speed at which the tyres are impacted against kerbs during testing
-5G of longitudinal acceleration affects each tyre; 4.5G is the vertical acceleration
-150° C is the temperature that the tread pattern is exposed to in laboratory testing
-3 times is the increase in size of the contact patch under full aerodynamic load
Great! New appreciation for tire supply.
