A “Green Performance” winter tyre for city and compact cars developed to perform in all road conditions.
CLEAN AIR: Made from eco-compatible materials that minimise environmental impact, both at the production stage and throughout the life of the tyre.
LOW NOISE: Already complies with the 2012 EU Directive on the reduction of noise, resulting in improved driving comfort.
The I.B.S. (Interactive Brickwork Siping) technology used for the sipe pattern improves performance on wet and dry surfaces. It gives a feeling of safety in extreme conditions and reduces braking distance.
The two wide lateral channels on the directional tread offer greater safety in the wet whilst the innovative siped longitudinal channels ensure traction for precise steering and improved “grip” on snow.
The winter tyre developed to meet all safety requirements for "city to compact cars" on roads in urban, country and mountainous conditions: providing high levels of safety in moderate to extreme winter conditions. This is another significant advance in Pirelli’s move towards a more effective respect for the environment, without Highly Aromatic Oils in the compounds and with advanced low rolling resistance technology to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
