Pirelli W 190 Snowcontrol Serie III: The Winter Conqueror
Unmatched Performance for Winter Conditions
The Pirelli W 190 Snowcontrol Serie III is a winter tire designed with an innovative compound, new tread structure, and advanced tread design. Ideal for small to medium-sized passenger cars, this tire excels in delivering exceptional driving characteristics in wintry conditions. It provides excellent grip and enhanced traction on both snowy and wet roads while ensuring reduced fuel consumption thanks to its low rolling resistance.
Energy Efficient and Environmentally Friendly
This latest generation of 'Green Performance' winter tires for city and compact cars is engineered to perform under all road conditions. The energy-efficient design helps reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, making it an eco-friendly choice. Manufactured from environmentally compatible materials, the tire minimizes environmental impact during production and throughout its lifespan.
Quiet and Comfortable Ride
Complying with the 2012 EU directive for noise reduction, the Snowcontrol Serie III ensures a quieter and more comfortable driving experience. Its optimized tread design and rounded profile guarantee superior traction on snowy surfaces. The use of the latest generation of winter tire compounds ensures outstanding performance on wet and snowy roads.
Enhanced Handling and Stability
The innovative base components and bead geometry of the WINTER SNOWCONTROL™ SERIE III improve vehicle handling and stability even on dry roads. This tire is a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and environmental consciousness, making it a reliable choice for winter driving.
THE WINTER BREAKER
Excellent traction and braking on snowy surfaces. High stability in lateral grip. With the generation of winter compounds used, it achieves excellent wet and snow performance. Moreover the innovative base compound and bead geometry improve handling and stability of the vehicle also in dry 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 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
