The Pirelli Scorpion Zero SUV tire is installed on SUVs and crossover vehicles. It is favorably distinguished by its versatility in application. The model is effective not only on slippery asphalt, but also on dirt, gravel, and earth surfaces.
Z-shaped blocks
One of the distinctive features of the tread pattern design is the presence of effectively looking blocks of an unusual Z-shape. Such a configuration provides the elements with good resistance to deformation, while simultaneously forming additional elongated multidirectional edges. This significantly improves the traction properties, their stability, especially on slippery surfaces.
P-shaped blocks on the edges of the tread
The shoulder areas of the tread have a closed design and contain massive P-shaped blocks, turned across the direction of movement. This has allowed to improve the stability and accuracy of handling when maneuvering, and also to reduce the length of the braking distance on a slippery surface.
S-shaped transverse grooves
Part of the drainage grooves is located transversely and has an S-shape. This additionally increases the contact patch and promotes a more even distribution of the vehicle's weight load on the road surface. In motion, this solution manifests itself in the form of stability of traction properties, primarily during dynamic maneuvering and braking. The S-shaped design reduces the noise level and abrasive impact on the tread.
Main features:
- a multitude of intersecting lamellas improves traction properties on a slippery surface, increases ride smoothness and acoustic comfort in the vehicle cabin;
- Z-shaped blocks increase traction and grip on snow and dirt surfaces;
- P-shaped blocks on the edges of the tread improve stability and accuracy of handling when maneuvering, prevent uneven wear;
- the S-shaped design of the tread increases the contact patch, optimizes the load distribution on it, reduces wear, and improves acoustic comfort in the vehicle cabin.
