Pirelli P-Zero Rosso for your Porsche 986 Boxster- The "Best" Package (Set of Four)
Pirelli P-Zero Rosso
The "Best" Package
Price is for all 4 with FREE* Freight!
205/50R17 front, 255/40R17 rear
If you’re looking to keep your 986 Boxster feeling period-correct, the Pirelli P Zero Rosso is about as authentic as it gets. Developed in the late 90s specifically for the high-performance cars of that era, this tire was designed with a "zero limits" philosophy that perfectly complements the Boxster's mid-engine balance.
What makes the Rosso interesting is the "system" approach Pirelli used to handle different axle loads. For a mid-engine car where the front end is relatively light, they designed a "Direzionale" tread for the front to help cut through standing water and prevent hydroplaning. This is often paired with an "Asimmetrico" pattern on the rear, which uses a semi-slick center rib and beefy outer shoulders to give you the bite you need for acceleration and hard cornering. It’s a specialized setup that helps the 986 stay planted and predictable when you're pushing it through a set of twisties.
Beyond the technical layout, the Rosso is really about maintaining that specific grand touring feel that Porsches of this vintage are known for. It provides a nice balance of high-speed stability and communicative steering without being so harsh that it ruins a long weekend drive. The internal structure is built to handle the lateral forces of a spirited drive while the grooved inner shoulder handles wet roads with ease. For the 986 owner, it’s a great way to preserve the original driving dynamics and "soul" of the car as it was engineered twenty-five years ago.
NOTE: this is a dedicated summer tire: the compound is strictly for warm pavement, and you’ll want to keep the car tucked away once temperatures drop toward freezing to avoid damaging the rubber.
