Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimetrico Review

Pirelli is one of the leading manufacturers of high performance tires. All of their high speed models ensure great traction, high speed durability and first-rate controllability to guarantee a safer driving experience.

Here at Priority Tire we offer a wide range of high speed performance tires, but our best selling ones are still the models manufactured by Pirelli. Enthusiasts of performance vehicles, who like to drive their car throughout the year, cannot go wrong with Pirelli’s Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico all season model.

This model ensures a safer performance and controllability year round. Pirelli also offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with it.

Controllability and Braking

High speed tires must have exceptional controllability, in other words, an enhanced steering responsiveness and driving stability. It is of the utmost importance that such tires be quick and precise in their response to the driver’s commands. A moment’s delay can be dangerous at such driving speeds.

The Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico offer a safer control and maneuvering. The tread pattern’s continuous solid center rib maintains the tire’s road contact at all times. This boosts its steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire is quicker and more accurate in its response to the driver’s steering instructions, while it also stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting it. The larger shoulder tread blocks manage to improve the cornering capability. They increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface in cornering situations, which upgrades the maneuvering power and ability.

The tread’s special Z-shaped blocks and optimal siping detail upgrade the braking ability. These tread elements create friction between the tire’s footprint and the road surface at the moment of braking, which significantly shortens the braking distance. As a result, the tire ensures a secure braking capability with the stronger braking power.

High Speed Durability

At high speeds many external pressures affect the tire, which causes strain for the tire. Under such forces the tire’s shape can deform, causing it to be dangerous during high speed performance.

The Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico features a reinforced steel belt structure. These steel belts are strengthened with a spirally wrapped nylon to increase the tire’s durability against the driving pressure affecting it. In this manner, the tire maintains its optimal shape under the driving pressure, promoting a secure high speed performance. The optimized shape enables the tire to perform to its best high speed capability.

All Weather Performance

All season tires are capable of excellent performance throughout the year. Their tread design and all season compounds enable its grip on dry, wet and winter weather road surfaces. As a result, they are one of the most popular models on the market.

The tread design and the all season compound of the Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico work together to promote a secure year round performance. The all season tire compound offers exceptional rubber flexibility and excellent traction in dry, wet and winter weather. On the other hand, the tread’s optimal pattern increases the model’s gripping capability. The Z-shaped tread blocks, detailed shoulder pattern of the asymmetric tread design improves the grip the tire has on the road surface throughout the year.

The model is also capable of preventing hydroplaning. The tread features wide circumferential and optimized lateral grooves and open shoulders that channel water and slush away from the tire’s footprint. They maintain a clean footprint at all times, which boosts the tire’s contact with the road surface. Hydroplaning happens when water and slush stuck on the road surface cuts off the contact between the road and the tire. By eliminating this obstacle, the tire improves its wet and winter weather traction.

Lengthened Tread Life

Pirelli offers a 50,000 mile warranty with the Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico. This is achieved thanks to the tire’s all season compound and detailed tread pattern.

The high performance all season compound actively prevents heat build-up during the drive. It avoids the high speed pressure from concentrating on one area of the tire and it ensures a secure driving experience. The prevention of heat buildup ensures a safer high-speed performance and it significantly slows the tread wear rate.

The tread design’s solid center rib closely follows the road surface. This manages to evenly distribute the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking along the tire’s surface. The equally circulated high speed driving pressure avoids irregular tread wear formations, greatly lengthening the tire’s usability and tread life.
