Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero is a performance, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The asymmetric tread design with the high-density siping placement and the winter compound greatly improve the winter weather traction. The tread design with the optimized elements manages to firmly grip the road surface even on ice and snow, by generating additional biting edges. On the other hand, the durable silica compound maintains its rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, even in freezing winter situations. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This combination optimizes the tire's secure winter weather, ice and snow performing capability.
The ideal tread design also upgrades the controllability. The footprint maintains the road contact at all times, while the secure winter traction ensures a better driving safety. This enables the tire to upgrade the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block placement, with the siping detail, firmly grips the road surface at all times. This enables the tire to improve the maneuvering and cornering capability. The high-density zigzag sipe placement manages to shorten the braking distance. They generate friction at the moment of braking, greatly enhancing the braking capability.
The Pirelli Winter 240 Sottozero upgrades the comfort levels as well. The tread design with the variable pitch manages to negate the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. The tread's variable pitch sequence creates a sound-cancelling frequency that prevents road and tread pattern noise formations. This allows the tire to minimize the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The result is a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
