Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero Serie II . FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Run flat tire model; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable performance; Winter weather traction; . OVERVIEW: The Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero Serie II is a performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The model offers great performance in winter weather. The asymmetric tread pattern maintains close contact with the driving surface in harsh winter conditions, while the special silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. These elements significantly upgrade the tires performance on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint. These grooves prevent hydroplaning and ensure the tires safe performance in winter conditions.The ideal tread design and the special silica compound work together to keep close road contact at all times. These elements maintain continuous driving surface contact. They upgrade the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model also offers great cornering capability. On the other hand, the special siping details and the optimized tread elements shorten the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. This combination guarantees the drivers full control over the vehicle.The tires strengthened internal structure improves its driving safety. The strengthened structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the pressure in case of air pressure loss. Once air pressure leaves the tire, due to punctures or other damage, the reinforced structure enables the tire to be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph. This limited, temporary performance prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. These tires are designed for vehicles without space for a spare tire. Also, run flat tires cannot be mounted together with regular tires on the same vehicle.The Pirelli Winter 210 Sottozero Serie II promotes a quiet and comfortable performance. The ideal tread design manages to lower road and tread noise heard in the vehicles cabin. The special silica compound absorbs the shock of the ride, which lowers the vibrations felt by the passengers while the tires are in motion. This combination guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience. This specific tire is marked with (*) as it is the original equipment of BMW vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
