Pirelli Winter 240 SottoZero Serie II: Your Ideal Winter Companion
Unleash Winter Performance
For those who love to drive their sports cars or luxury sedans with a sporty edge even in winter, the Pirelli Winter 240 SottoZero Serie II is the perfect tire choice. Designed to perform at high speeds even in cold conditions, it offers the control you need. With excellent grip and handling on icy and wet roads, this tire ensures a safe and enjoyable drive. The angled grooves contribute to reduced road noise, enhancing your driving comfort.
Optimal for Autumn and Winter Conditions
The Winter SottoZero Serie II is engineered to react effectively to wet and cold conditions, particularly when temperatures drop below 7°C. It significantly reduces the risk of aquaplaning, ensuring efficient performance in the fluctuating weather of autumn and winter. Whether it's cold, wet, icy, or snowy, this tire guarantees top performance on all road surfaces.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Safety
Wide grooves extending to the shoulder of the tire ensure efficient water drainage. The tire features special water-catching areas known as Hydro Static Tanks (HST), a patented Pirelli system that increases the water capture volume in the grooves, counteracting pressure-induced micro-turbulences that can cause aquaplaning. This innovative tire is ideal for sports vehicles and mid-to-upper-class sedans, offering top-notch driving safety in all winter road conditions.
Exceptional Performance Below 7°C
The Winter SottoZero Serie II ensures outstanding performance for demanding drivers on dry, wet, and snowy roads. It performs more efficiently than a summer tire, especially at temperatures below 7°C. Its asymmetric tread design is divided into two elements: the inner section effectively disperses water, while the outer section, with its larger, more robust tread blocks, provides high grip on snow.
Innovative Design for Comfort and Efficiency
The W270 version stands out with its exclusive, patented Bi-Compound solution, offering reduced rolling noise for increased in-cabin comfort. With the Pirelli Winter 240 SottoZero Serie II, you can enjoy a quieter, more comfortable ride without compromising on performance.
THE PERFECT ROUTE TO YOUR WINTER DESTINATION
The ideal choice for sports cars and top end vehicles, balancing performance, safety and respect for the environment. For demanding drivers, the WINTER SOTTOZERO™ SERIE II guarantees excellent performance on dry roads, in the wet and in the presence of snow. In temperatures below 7°C, it counters aquaplaning more effectively when compared to a summer tyre.
An innovative tyre for sports cars and medium to high-powered saloons, it offers excellent driving safety in all road conditions during the cold weather season. For demanding drivers, the Winter SOTTOZERO™ Serie II guarantees excellent performance on dry roads, in the wet and in the presence of snow. In temperatures below 7°C, it counters aquaplaning more effectively when compared to a summer tyre.
The asymmetric tread pattern is divided into two distinct elements. The inner area expels water effectively whilst the external area, with its more rigid and spaced blocks, ensures high levels of grip on snow. These features on the W270 version are enhanced by the exclusive patented twin-compound solution. Characterised by low rolling resistance, the Winter SOTTOZERO™ Serie II also provides low noise levels, enhancing comfort in the cabin.
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.
