The Pirelli Citynet Winter Plus winter commercial tire is distinguished not only by its long and somewhat convoluted name, but also by its high technical characteristics. Among them, particularly noteworthy are the increased load-carrying capacity, excellent reliability, and excellent traction on any winter roads. Such versatile capabilities appeared in this model thanks to the use of the latest technologies in its design.
Double blocks in the central part of the tread
One of the key features of the symmetrical tread of this tire is the design of its central part. It is a very wide longitudinal rib composed of double blocks of complex polygonal shape. During movement, they create numerous traction edges that, due to their multidirectional arrangement, impart increased stability and reliability to the traction properties.
Rigid construction of shoulder zones
In turn, the shoulder zones of the tread of this tire are characterized by the absence of elements consisting of several parts. Here, transverse blocks of rectangular shape are located. In conjunction with their transverse arrangement, this design improves traction during maneuvering and also reduces the length of the braking distance.
Reliable traction on compacted snow and ice
Despite the absence of studs, this model is distinguished by good traction properties on icy roads. They are provided due to the optimized arrangement of blocks that, when in contact with the road, form a multitude of very long transverse traction edges. In addition, all blocks have wavy lamellas that improve traction properties, especially on compacted snow and ice.
Main features of the Pirelli Citynet Winter Plus tire
- double blocks in the center of the tread improve stability and reliability of traction properties, prevent uneven wear, reduce fuel consumption and noise level;
- wide shoulder blocks increase maneuverability and load-carrying capacity, reduce braking distance;
- numerous wavy lamellas improve traction on ice and compacted snow.
