Game of the "Extreme Speed Tire" Era
Friends who like to drive fast know that the excitement brought by speed cannot be replaced by anything, and the feeling of adrenaline surge will make people intoxicated.
The 2025 F1 Chinese Grand Prix came to an end at the Shanghai International Circuit. The Ferrari team won the championship against the trend with a bold "speed tire" strategy. Verstappen relied on the ultimate performance of the purple ultra-soft tire (C5) to stage a stunning reversal in the last 10 laps and beat the Mercedes team by 0.8 seconds to win the championship. This ultimate contest of tire speed and durability not only rewrote the results of the event, but also pushed the tactical value of Pirelli's "cross-level formula" to a new climax.
So how fast can the tires that carry the racing car run at the fastest speed? Let's take stock of the fastest tires on the earth at present.

Pirelli's P ZERO series tires have been used on racing cars and high-end luxury cars since their appearance, and the P ZERO TROFEO R tire is a high-performance tire specially designed for supercars. Lamborghini HURACAN PERFORMANTE equipped with Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires once ran a lap of 6 minutes 52 seconds 01 on the Nürburgring circuit in Germany, breaking the fastest record at the time. According to Pirelli's test, the maximum speed of this tire is above 400 kilometers per hour, so it can be said that Pirelli's P ZERO TROFEO R is the fastest tire on the earth.
