Winter tyre designed for compacts, MPVs and luxury cars, the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 offers significant improvements in terms of grip and safety.

Safety.3D sipes designed to maintain tread rigidity improve dry handling and braking. In winter, the broader contact patch and the innovative tread compound provide grip over a wide range of temperatures. Wide circumferential grooves quickly disperse water for better performance on wet roads.

Snow. Multiple sipes improve grip on snow covered roads. The directional tread with its arrow shaped centre rib and multiple biting edges deliver maximum traction on snow

PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3: A HIGH PERFORMANCE WINTER TYRE

The Sottozero 3 has been designed for medium and large capacity engines to deliver maximum safety on all winter road conditions (dry, wet, snow, ice ...). It offers significant performance gains compared with the Sottozero 2. It is in more than 50 sizes for 16 to 21 inch rims

Pirelli’s Winter Sottozero Serie 3 is designed for vehicles with medium and large capacity engines.  It has been jointly developed alongside leading car manufacturers (Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Citroën …) to enhance the sports performance of cars.

Safety in all weather conditions

The Winter Sottozero 3 has a new compound that provides optimal performance over a wide range of temperatures. This innovation guarantees driver’s excellent grip throughout the winter period. The directional tread has an arrow shaped centre ribto provide maximum traction on snow.

Another innovation: Pirelli’s high density, 3D sipe technology improves vehicle handling on dry roads, braking performance on snow and snow grip. The contact patch has been enlarged to provide even more grip in all winter road conditions.

Pirelli has also focused on wet road performance. Two longitudinal grooves have been enlarged to improve water dispersal and improve road holding in wet weather. Similarly, the shoulder is more rounded to expel more water.

Finally, the tread design has been improved to increase tyre longevity. Pirelli engineers have notably focused on the tyre’s footprint, now enlarged and more uniform.
