Pirelli tire designed for Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Ed.

Pirelli is spec’ing tires for the new 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition. A new technical collaboration between the two companies has resulted in a specific Pirelli P Zero tire, part of a family of UHP tires that offer the right balance between driveability and comfort, the companies say.

The tires developed for the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition are available in 245/45R20 103Y XL size with “Elect” markings on the sidewall, which denote Pirelli products dedicated to electric and hybrid vehicles. Thanks to the technical specifications of the compounds and structure, Pirelli says tires with “Elect” markings offer a number of advantages: low rolling resistance to increase driving range, reduced noise levels to improve driving comfort, immediate grip to cope with the instant torque generated by electric motors, and a specific structure to support the weight of a battery-powered vehicle.
