CINTURATO Winter 2 Features

Pirelli CINTURATO Winter 2 all-season/winter tires feature an improved directional tread pattern. This design was chosen to enhance tire performance in weather conditions where temperatures frequently hover around 0°C. 

One of the cornerstones of this tire model’s performance is the increased number of sipes. All of them are created using 3D siping technology, and their total length reaches 51 meters. Acting much like studs, their sharp edges dig into packed snow and ice, creating a firm grip on slippery surfaces. Furthermore, the aforementioned 3D siping technology allows the sipes to expand as the tire wears down. This helps maintain good traction characteristics throughout the tire’s entire service life.

The directional tread pattern is made from a high-quality composite material. The rubber compound is formulated using the latest technologies, allowing it to be as homogeneous as possible and ensuring higher wear resistance. In addition, the elastomers added to the rubber compound allow the tire to retain its flexibility even at very low temperatures. As is well known, a flexible tire provides much better traction and wears more evenly.
