Product Information

Full details

The Pirelli P Zero Velo Tubular Road Tyre is designed for competitive cyclists and enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance for Granfondo racing, criteriums, and demanding road conditions. Leveraging a high-performance 320tpi Corespun casing and the advanced Yellow Soft compound, this tyre provides exceptional grip and minimal rolling resistance for high-speed handling. While it offers a professional-grade race experience, its tubular construction requires dedicated gluing or taping procedures for installation, which can be less convenient than standard clincher systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this tire compatible with clincher rims?

No, this is a tubular tire designed specifically for tubular-compatible rims.

Can I use this for everyday training?

While durable enough for training, the performance characteristics make it better suited for racing and high-paced group rides.

Does it come with glue?

No, tubular glue or rim tape must be purchased separately.

What is the purpose of the 48mm RVC valve?

The Removable Valve Core allows you to add sealant and use valve extenders if you are using deep-section rims.

How should I store these tires when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid contact with ozone-producing appliances or extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty seating the tire on the rim

Pre-stretch the tire by mounting it on a spare rim without glue and inflating it to a moderate pressure for a few hours before the final installation.

Loss of air pressure

Verify the valve core is tightened securely. If pressure loss continues, check for small punctures and inject a high-quality latex-compatible sealant.

Uneven tire glue bond

Ensure the rim bed is completely degreased and clean. Apply thin, even layers of glue and allow each layer to become tacky before installing the tire.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rolling efficiency for racing speeds
  • Superior grip in corners due to the Yellow Soft compound
  • Lightweight construction reduces rotational mass
  • Enhanced ride comfort from the high-tpi casing
  • Pro-level racing performance

Cons

  • Requires complex tubular gluing or taping installation
  • Cannot be repaired as easily as clincher tyres
  • Higher maintenance requirement during setup

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is critical for tubular tires. Ensure your rim bed is clean and free of old glue or debris before applying high-quality tubular glue or professional-grade tubular tape. After seating the tire, inflate it to your preferred pressure and allow the adhesive to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions before riding. Since this tire features an RVC (Removable Valve Core), you can easily remove the core to add puncture-preventative sealant if desired, which is highly recommended for endurance events. Always inspect the casing and tread for debris after each ride, and store wheels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the rubber compound.
