The primary target audience of the Pirelli Winter 270 Sottozero II winter tire are car enthusiasts who value, in addition to comfort, a sporty and exhilarating handling. These traits favorably distinguish this model from most competitors, which also possess excellent grip properties at temperatures just above zero degrees Celsius. Thanks to this, the tire is perfect for operation, both in the Arctic Circle and in the middle lane.
Excellent traction and high comfort level
This model has excellent performance. Versatility is guaranteed due to the division of the tread into several separate zones, each of which, due to its design features, has a certain functionality. A striking example of this approach to creating tread patterns is the shoulder area on the inside. Here, there are many drainage grooves that, in addition to water diversion, improve traction on snow, while ensuring a low noise level.
In turn, the shoulder area on the outside of the tread is responsible for resistance to aquaplaning and directional stability. These properties are ensured by the increased stiffness of the two longitudinal ribs located here.
Excellent ice traction without studs
Even without studs, this tire demonstrates excellent handling and traction on winter roads, thanks to the numerous lamellas. In addition, their original design allows them to perform other functions. They became available thanks to the ability of the lamellas to block each other. This allows you to significantly increase the size of the contact patch, especially on uneven roads, and also improves handling and stability of traction.
