Many German cars in the UAE need a specific marked Pirelli: MO for Mercedes, star for BMW, N0 to N2 for Porsche, AO for Audi. Fitting the marked version keeps the handling the manufacturer tuned. Pirelli stock comes from Italy, Germany, Romania, Turkey, Brazil and China. Large P Zero sizes are often air-freighted, so check the DOT: 4325 means week 43 of 2025. Never mix a run-flat and a non-run-flat on the same axle.
