ROME, Ga. — Pirelli Tire North America Inc. is launching an all-weather tire line, the WeatherActive, the company's first with all-weather capabilities.
Engineered to go beyond traditional all-season performance, this new product carries the industry's Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rating (3PMS), which certifies that the tire delivers improved performance in severe snow conditions, the tire maker said.
The WeatherActive tire offers improved wet performance and snow traction due to the adoption of new compound technology engineered to enhance the tread compound's pliability in cold temperatures, Pirelli said.
Pirelli is launching the WeatherActive in two versions: the Cinturato WeatherActive for sedans, which will be available in 16 sizes, and the Scorpion WeatherActive dedicated to SUVs and light trucks, available in 23 sizes. All come with a 60,000-mile limited treadwear warranty.
Key fitments include Acura RDX, BMW 330i, Audi Q5 and GMC Yukon, among others.
Pirelli said it developed this new tire line exclusively for the North American market, to offer drivers a single type of tire for year-round driving.
