The Pirelli Winter Sottozero III NCS ELT winter tire stands out for its high performance and is designed for installation on powerful passenger cars. The model is distinguished by its increased manageability on winter roads, as well as a short braking distance.
In the central part of the directional tread, there are double arrow-shaped blocks that are abundantly covered with a network of wavy lamellas. By creating a large number of gripping edges, they provide excellent grip on winter roads, contributing to maintaining control at any speed. This factor also affects the reduction of the braking distance, increasing the overall level of safety.
In the development of the model, computer simulation was used, which made it possible to achieve an optimal combination of grip properties and uniform pressure distribution. Thanks to this, the tire received an extended service life.
The presence of two deep channels in the central part, connected to the diagonal grooves that open outward in the shoulder area, ensures the rapid evacuation of snow and water from the contact zone. This minimizes the risk of slushiness and hydroplaning.
The model's compound contains a large amount of polymers, as well as silica. Together, they provide preservation of elasticity, as well as protection against mechanical damage.
