Pirelli Tyre Test


Following a discussion with the Pirelli tyre technicians at Time Attack, they have recommended a different profile tyre to test on the Z4M for track use. Previously on the rear we had the OEM aspect ratio of 40 i.e 265/40 R18, the new one is 265/35 R18 both a Pirelli Trofeo R.



Before they felt a bit loose until they got to temperature then soon were over pressured as we had to run them a bit harder to compensate for the movement. Wow what a difference, they felt stable from the start and then came nicely to pressure and stayed consistent for several fast laps. When I say consistent I mean we did three fast laps all within 0.035s.

A big thanks to Pirelli for helping us out with the test..
