Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive 255/55 R19 111W

Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive – the all-season novelty from the Italian manufacturer, which belongs to the premium segment. The tire can be installed on SUVs and crossovers, the operation of which, in its main mass, occurs on asphalt roads. But, according to the company's idea, the tire can allow for comfortable driving on light off-road.

All the main characteristics of the model are revealed to the fullest when driving on wet and slippery asphalt (in European winter conditions). This is facilitated by the directed tread with a V-shaped pattern, which is segmented into many separate blocks. Each of these elements carries several differently directed lamellas of a special type. The latter are capable of self-locking, providing effective traction in icy conditions. This factor increases the level of safety.

The direction of the tread performs several more functions. Firstly, due to it, a multitude of open-type channels were formed, which perfectly cope with the removal of moisture, slush, and dirt, maintaining high precision of traction even in difficult conditions. Secondly, it is the optimization of sound effects. The special arrangement of blocks, which was designed using modern modeling methods, reduces the appearance of air vortexes at speed. This is a guarantee of increasing the level of acoustic comfort in the vehicle's cabin. To this, we must add the use of an elastic compound with a special composition. It contains a significant percentage of silicon-containing components, which contribute to the preservation of softness in a wide temperature range. This property allows not only maintaining the level of traction but also acts as a damper, suppressing micro-vibrations. The result is smooth running and comfort. The tire provides precise handling, as well as ease of maneuvering at speed with full control over the vehicle. This was achieved thanks to a sturdy power-type carcass, which neutralizes deformation under load, maintaining the contact area unchanged.

Main features of Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive:
- year-round operation on SUVs and crossovers of various classes;
- stability of traction properties, both on dry road surface and in conditions of wet and slippery asphalt;
- directed drainage system of open type, allowing for quick removal of contaminants from the contact area, increasing the level of driving safety;
- increased level of comfort in the cabin due to the optimized arrangement of block structures and a special compound that adapts to different temperature regimes.
