The Winter Sottozero Serie II is a new line of performance winter tires from Pirelli. These tires are specifically designed for premium, high-performance vehicles that often encounter difficult winter driving conditions. The philosophy behind the development of the Winter Sottozero Serie II is that winter tires should be able to perform well in a range of unpredictable weather conditions, not just in regions with heavy snowfall. Unlike traditional winter tires, the Winter Sottozero Serie II is designed to be suitable for use throughout the winter season, from November to April, in various parts of the United States. These tires are engineered to provide traction and reliable handling in cold, dry, wet, and wintry conditions commonly experienced during this period. One of the key features of the Winter Sottozero Serie II is its innovative tread compound. This compound incorporates new polymers and mixing processes, allowing the tires to be more environmentally friendly by eliminating the use of aromatic oils. Pirelli's Temperature Dynamic Compound technology further enhances the traction of the tires on wet and icy surfaces, ensuring improved performance in near-freezing temperatures. The tread pattern of the Winter Sottozero Serie II is designed with Pirelli's Interactive Brickwork Siping. This creates a brickwork pattern with sipes, which are small grooves on the surface of the tire. The sipes increase both lateral and longitudinal stability, providing better control in various winter conditions. Additionally, the sipes offer more biting edges, further enhancing traction on snow-covered roads. The internal structure of the Winter Sottozero Serie II tires is reinforced with twin steel belts that are spiral-wrapped with polyamide. This design improves the tires' thermal stability and reduces their sensitivity to temperature changes, whether from the road or the air. The Winter Sottozero Serie II meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and bears the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, indicating its superior snow traction capabilities. To maximize the handling and performance of the Winter Sottozero Serie II tires, Pirelli recommends using them in sets of four. By installing all four tires together, drivers can ensure the best possible handling characteristics and overall tire performance. Related Information: The three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF) signifies that a tire meets the required standards for severe snow service. This symbol indicates that the tire has been tested and proven to provide adequate performance in snowy conditions. Therefore, tires featuring the 3PMSF symbol are recommended for winter driving.
