Released by one of the most famous Italian manufacturers in the world, the summer passenger tire Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico is addressed to owners of powerful SUVs and pickups, the operation of which takes place predominantly on hard surfaces. The distinctive feature of this model is the shape of the blocks located in the central part of the tread, which resembles the Latin letter "Z". The tire is released in 15 popular sizes, from 235/55R17 to 295/30ZR22, which implies excellent applicability to most existing high-passability vehicles.
The key feature of the directional tread pattern of this tire is the asymmetric design, which is reflected in its name. At the very center of the tread, Italian tire engineers placed a wide longitudinal rib, which provides not only excellent directional stability and effective braking, but also promotes even wear of the tread, which significantly extends the life of the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tire. If we consider the shoulder areas, the tread pattern has 5 ribs, which ensures excellent directional stability and high stiffness of the tread. As a result of this technical solution, the tire demonstrates refined reactions and reliable handling during high-speed movement.
As for the above-mentioned Z-shaped blocks located in the central part of the tread, it turned out that this solution led to an improvement in traction and braking performance on various types of surfaces.
