Pirelli presents new wet tyre for GT cars

Pirelli is launching a new wet weather tyre dedicated to Gran Turismo (GT) cars. The evolution of the Cinturato WHB wet-weather tyre, completely renewed in design and optimised in its main performance features, will be used in all the GT championships in which Pirelli is involved.

The debut is scheduled for this season in the DTM and ADAC GT Masters championship of which Pirelli will be sole supplier until 2025. The partnership began in 2023.

The Cinturato WHB, which completes the renewal of the GT range after the 2022 launch of the P Zero DHF dry tyre, features a new tread design that has enabled the use of latest-generation materials.

These new compounds, together with increased tread rigidity, are said by Pirelli to have improved the footprint, optimising grip and warm-up at low temperatures, without compromising stability in wet-to-dry transition conditions and sensitivity to aquaplaning, which has actually increased.

This broadens the WHB’s field of use compared to the previous generation tyre, according to Pirelli.
