Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 – a tire that can be used in an all-year-round mode. The model is released in a large number of tire sizes (37 positions), making it applicable to many modern crossovers, SUVs, and pickups. It provides confident handling on dry, wet, and snowy roads, as well as a high level of comfort.
In the development of the tire, modern modeling methods were used, which made it possible to create not only the optimal arrangement of tread elements, but also their shape. As a result, the model received an asymmetric tread, some of whose blocks differ in their stiffness. An important aspect was their arrangement, which increased the contact area and contributed to the uniform distribution of internal tire pressure. This factor had a positive impact on the service life. According to the manufacturer's statement, the tire is guaranteed to last up to 110,000 km, while maintaining its working characteristics in full.
In addition to the ribbed structures, which are responsible for the accuracy and responsiveness of handling, the manufacturer paid special attention to the lamellas. They received a special shape that can open up, firmly fixing the tire on a slippery road surface. Another feature of the model is the optimization of the arrangement of block structures. This has resulted in a reduction in noise effects and improved driving comfort.
