Hookless rims - great idea however the tyre selection for compatible rim was a little more tricky than I had initially planned. With that virus which everyone keeps talking about, getting hold of anything related to bikes ain’t easy. Sigma comes to the rescue with these though. While I wouldn’t have gone for the S version (lacks the puncture protection which the normal race tyres have) normally- they have proved to be awesome. Married with Zipp 404 wheels they roll and feel amazing. About 1500k in however and I am seeing wear that I suspect will mean these will need a change around 2,500k. This makes a little sense as these are marketed as special race day tyres. All in all, very happy and converted from Conti
Product Details
Pirelli P-Zero Race SL TLR Tyre
Designed explicitly to increase speed within the fastest-paced riding scenarios such as time trials and road races, the Pirelli P-Zero Race SL TLR Tyre blends the results of a three year, World Tour rider influenced design project with a sophisticated composition and tubeless-ready tyre technology.
Pirelli’s Techwall casing has been conceived purely for this tyre and offers an incredibly supple feel and lower weight. The result is significantly reduced rolling resistance, even across rougher roads and a heightened sense of acceleration. Despite this more minimal construction, the tubeless-ready format and multi-layer carcass structure still grant high levels of puncture protection to ensure that the finish line is reached without mishap.
The casing is partnered by the SmartEVO tread compound that blends smart polymers to reduce rolling resistance further while increasing durability and maximising cornering grip. At the request of pro riders, a slick tread pattern completes the tyre to promote a clean, race-day aesthetic.

Reviews
I've had nothing but great experiences with this tire. I've ridden it for the last 2000 miles and it has been more durable than my old Conti 5000s TL while still being smooth, supple, and grippy. I've only had one puncture from a large metal staple, but it sealed quickly after I pulled it out. This Pirelli tire is also lighter than the Conti which helps take away some of the weight penalty of tubeless. The casing on the tire also holds air better. I find myself having to pump up my Conti wheel set twice as often as my Pirelli one.
