Pirelli is renowned for its strong ties with automotive giants and vast technological expertise in manufacturing vehicle tires. Combined, these core strengths have enabled the creation of the Winter Snowsport winter tire, whose primary advantage lies in its durability and excellent response to road situations in winter conditions.
Reliability and Long Service Life
One of the main issues with winter tires is the reaction of the polymer compound to negative temperatures. The production of this line was preceded by the development of a unique, high-tech Silica 2 mixture, which does not lose elasticity even with a significant drop in temperature. As a result, increased wear resistance is achieved. The reliable construction and intelligent tread pattern, in turn, have led to excellent traction properties and highly efficient braking. If the tire is made from a combined mixture, the tread area consists of 100% Silica 2.
Traction Properties and Comfort on Snow
The tread pattern is formed by a large number of asymmetrically arranged rectangular and polygonal blocks, as well as two pairs of longitudinal channels. Working in conjunction with the wide drainage channels of the side blocks, the tread provides good traction properties with the road surface and confidently resists slushplaning. The efficiency of the traction properties is ensured by the rapid removal of snow from the contact area. Similarly, the tire design works when combating aquaplaning. The thoughtful and rich lamellation is a constructive addition that ensures maximum manageability in various conditions.
Key Features of the Pirelli Winter Snowsport Tire
- The elastic polymer as the basis of the design guarantees a high mileage even in unfavorable conditions: weather and road;
- The asymmetry of the tread pattern, the thoughtfulness of the number and shape of its components, the geometry of the drainage channels, and the large number of lamellas solve the main problem: the wheels receive excellent traction properties, and the risk of slushplaning is reduced;
- The possibility of using tires on cars of both the middle class and the premium segment.
