What is the minimum profile depth on brand new performance tires (e.g. Pirelli P Zero Elect)?
I have just started driving my new car with Pirelli P Zero Elect summer tires and will check how much tire profile depth I got. Do you also find it difficult to check if your brand new expensive tires have the right amount of profile depth? The profile depth on new tires should be between 7 and 8 millimeters. Anything less is not acceptable. I have purchased new tires in the past where I even got 6,5 and I was not happy.
How to measure the right tire profile depth on new car tires?
Here’s a video how to measure the tire profile depth yourself in the center of the tire with a measuring tool.

Let me know what your favorite performance summer tires are? Have you also driven these Pirelli P Zero Elect summer tires on a Tesla Model 3 Performance and how long did they last? I’m looking forward to hearing from you and wishing you a fantastic Summer!
