Pirelli W 190 Snowcontrol Serie II: Superior Winter Performance
Designed for Compact and Mid-Size Cars
The Pirelli W 190 Snowcontrol Serie II is a top-tier winter tire crafted specifically for compact and mid-size vehicles. This tire ensures seamless mobility in winter conditions, whether you're navigating urban streets or tackling mountain and country roads.
Unmatched Winter Traction
Experience unparalleled grip and control on icy and snowy surfaces with the Snowcontrol Serie II. Its advanced tread design provides exceptional stability and handling, making your winter journeys safer and more comfortable.
Innovative Safety Features
Pirelli introduces the revolutionary Snow Wear Indicator (S.W.I.) with this model. Located at the center of the tread, the S.W.I. consists of three letters that signal when the tread depth reaches the critical limit of 4mm. Once these letters are worn down, Pirelli strongly advises replacing the tires to maintain optimal safety.
Optimal Performance in Winter Conditions
With the Pirelli W 190 Snowcontrol Serie II, you can confidently face the challenges of winter driving. Its robust construction and innovative features make it a reliable choice for those seeking safety and performance during the colder months.
Reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Made from eco-compatible materials that minimise environmental impact, both at the production stage and throughout the life of the tyre. 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 Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
E
B
71dB
