General recommendation:

Pirelli strongly recommend the use of metal valves;
Pirelli strongly recommend the use of valve caps even for short runs;
Pirelli welcomes the use of any kind of pressure monitoring system. A preliminary fitting test should be carried out in cooperation with Pirelli Tire Technicians;
All rims must have, if any, pressure sensors fitted by the Team prior to having any tire mounted.

STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH PIRELLI RECOMMENDATIONS WILL GIVE ALL TEAMS THE POSSIBILITY TO OPTIMIZE THE USE OF OUR TIRES.
