What does 'PZ4' signify in the tire name?

How often should I check my tire pressure?

Can I mix P Zero PZ4 SC tires with other tire models?

Troubleshooting
Uneven tire wear
Check wheel alignment and tire pressure. Consider rotating tires more frequently.
Increased road noise
Ensure tires are properly balanced and inflated. Road noise can also be characteristic of high-performance tires; check reviews for similar vehicles.
Reduced performance in cold weather
High-performance summer tires can lose grip in temperatures below 7°C (45°F). Consider winter tires for consistent performance in cold climates.
Tire vibration at speed
