Pirelli Winter 240 SottoZero Serie II Run Flat Tire: Your Ideal Winter Companion
Perfect for High-Performance Winter Driving
Experience the ultimate in winter driving with the Pirelli Winter 240 SottoZero Serie II Run Flat tire, designed specifically for sports cars and luxury sedans. Whether you're navigating icy roads or wet surfaces, this tire ensures you maintain control even at high speeds in cold temperatures. Its superior grip and handling make it the perfect choice for those who enjoy a sporty drive, regardless of the season.
Engineered for Optimal Performance in Cold Weather
The Winter SottoZero Serie II is crafted to perform exceptionally well in wet and cold conditions, particularly when temperatures drop below 7°C. Its innovative design minimizes the risk of aquaplaning, providing reliable performance amid fluctuating autumn and winter weather. Whether facing rain, ice, or snow, this tire guarantees outstanding traction on all surfaces.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Safety and Comfort
The tire features wide grooves extending to the shoulder, ensuring efficient water drainage and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. Its unique Hydro Static Tank (HST) technology, patented by Pirelli, increases water retention in the grooves, counteracting the micro-turbulence pressures that can cause tire lift. Designed for both sports vehicles and luxury sedans, this tire offers top-tier safety on any road condition during the colder months.
Exceptional Performance with Asymmetric Tread Design
The asymmetric tread pattern of the Winter SottoZero Serie II is divided into two distinct areas: the inner zone efficiently disperses water, while the outer zone, with its larger, robust tread blocks, delivers excellent grip on snowy surfaces. This tire is particularly efficient at temperatures below 7°C, outperforming summer tires in these conditions. Additionally, the W270 version features a patented Bi-Compound solution, enhancing its unique characteristics.
Quiet and Comfortable Ride
Enjoy a quieter and more comfortable ride with the Winter SottoZero Serie II, thanks to its low rolling noise. This feature ensures a serene driving experience, enhancing the comfort within your vehicle.
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.

C
