Pirelli Winter Sottozero 205/50 R17 93H XL_RF

The Pirelli Winter Sottozero tire is largely an iconic model. It was this tire that allowed the company to eliminate a significant part of the gap in this segment from leading European manufacturers. Moreover, this tire turned out to be one of the leaders, thanks to its excellent grip on snowy and icy surfaces. Indirect confirmation of its outstanding abilities is the use by the manufacturer of its name for a whole range of other tires.

Unique Asymmetric Tread Pattern

A significant part of the advantages of this tire over its competitors is provided by the unconventional tread design. It consists of several sections, each of which improves a certain set of operational characteristics. Most of them "echo" each other. All this together allows the tire to demonstrate excellent performance in any road conditions.

Interlocking Lames

This model does an excellent job without studs, demonstrating good grip on ice. This is ensured by the many thousands of lames that form the corresponding number of gripping edges. It was possible to increase their number due to their original design. When contacting the road, the walls of not one, but all the lames that are cut into the tread block are blocked. This significantly limits its mobility in all directions, which has a positive effect on the stability and reliability of the gripping properties, as well as on handling.
