The Pirelli P7 is one of the most influential ultra high performance tyres ever created, a design that helped define the handling and character of the fastest road cars of the late 1970s and 1980s. Developed from Pirelli’s ground-breaking rally tyre technology, the P7 introduced low-profile construction to a new generation of supercars and sports coupes. Today, it remains the definitive choice for owners seeking authentic period performance backed by modern manufacturing quality.
The P7 became original equipment on some of the most desirable performance cars of its era. Manufacturers such as Porsche, Ferrari, Lancia, De Tomaso, and BMW specified the tyre for models that demanded exceptional grip, stability, and highspeed capability.
It was fitted to the Porsche 930 Turbo, where its low-profile design and advanced tread pattern helped tame the car’s formidable power delivery. Ferrari adopted the P7 for models including the 308 and 512 BB, while Lancia used it to great effect on the Beta Montecarlo and other sporting models. The P7’s combination of sharp steering response and predictable handling made it a benchmark for highperformance road tyres.
Pirelli continues to manufacture the P7 in selected classic sizes, using modern materials and quality control processes while preserving the tyre’s authentic appearance and dynamic behaviour. Its distinctive tread pattern, low-profile sidewalls, and period correct markings ensure the correct stance and driving feel for cars engineered around early highperformance radial technology. Available in key 15 and 16-inch sizes, the P7 is ideal for 1970s and 1980s supercars, GTs, and sports coupes.
