Pirelli Winter SottoZero Serie II 225/40-18 92 V Tire

Pirelli Winter 270 Sottozero Serie II FEATURES AND BENEFITS Winter weather traction Enhanced winter weather handling Shortened braking distance Upgraded durability Comfortable driving experience Run flat tire model OVERVIEW The Pirelli Winter 270 Sottozero Serie II is a performance and high performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model was designed with Pirellis run flat technology. It reinforces the tires structure in order to allow it to withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers in case of air pressure loss. Once air pressure leaves the tire, due to a puncture or other damage, the tire is able to securely perform for 50 miles at 50 mph. This limited, temporary performance prevents the vehicle from getting stranded on the side of the road. In other words, the tire is able to securely arrive at a nearby location, where the damaged tire can be fixed or changed. The tire promotes excellent winter weather traction and road gripping ability with the combination of the Temperature Dynamic Compound and the Interactive Brickwall Siping detail. The asymmetric tread patterns siping detail firmly grips the road in all winter weather, while the tire compounds flexibility enables it to adjust to differing conditions. The circumferential and lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire footprint. The better road gripping ability and hydroplaning resistance ensure a safer driving experience. The models handling is also boosted by the road gripping ability of the tire compound and the treads siping design. The tread firmly grips the road in all winter weather situations, while the siping detail promotes additional biting edges for driving on snow and ice-covered roads. They enhance the steering responsiveness and accuracy and the driving stability. The driver is capable of controlling the vehicle more confidently as the tires steering responsiveness is quicker and more precise to their commands. The tire is also stabilized at all times against the driving pressure affecting it. The Interactive Brickwall Siping design provides additional biting edges on ice and snow-covered road surfaces. It also does the same during braking situations. They grip the road firmly and create friction at the moment of braking, which shortens the braking distance significantly. The better braking ability makes the tire stop shorter in all winter conditions, making the driving experience more secure. The Winter 270 Sottozero Serie IIs internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with a spirally wrapped polyamide cord. This upgrades the durability and ride comfort. The tire does not deform under the driving pressure affecting it, which enables the tire to perform well even at high speeds. It also ensures that the tire closely follows the road surface at all times, which lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicles cabin. The asymmetric tread patterns inclined grooves lower the road noise generated while the tires are in motion, by channeling the airwaves through the tires footprint. The combination of these aspects make the drive safer and more enjoyable. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles.
