Compared to summer tyres, winter tyres impact the car’s range due to a higher rolling resistance.
The BMW Group and Pirelli have worked together to unveil new 20-inch P Zero Winter 2 tyres for the BMW 7 Series which focus on range capabilities.
Compared to summer tyres, winter tyres impact the car’s range due to a higher rolling resistance because of their compounds and tread pattern designed to offer grip on snowy and wet cold asphalt. The new 20-inch development in collaboration with Pirelli compensates for these disadvantages resulting in an extended range of up to 50 km for the all-electric BMW i7 in comparison to a standard winter tyre.
"This collaboration between BMW and Pirelli represents a significant milestone in tyre technology regarding range capabilities for winter tyres" said Dr. Mihiar Ayoubi, Senior Vice President Development Driving Pleasure at the BMW Group.
The tyre will be available for the BMW 7 Series globally starting from August 2024. The goal is to roll out this new technology to other future BMW models, starting next with the new BMW X3 in the second half of 2024.
