    NEW YORK — Pirelli Tire North America Inc. has updated its range of North American-specific all-season tires with the launch of the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II as the successor to the original All Season Plus model launched in 2012.

    The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II features a tread compound and "optimized" footprint for improved behavior on wet surfaces, Pirelli said, which aids in reducing the tire's wet stopping distance.

    Pirellli's engineers focused on improving the tire's wet handling and wet traction, while maintaining the treadwear, winter traction, noise, comfort, dry handling and steering performance of the previous generation, Pirelli said.

    Pirelli rolled out the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus eight years ago with the marketing message — "One tire, four seasons, no compromises" — to emphasize the line's four-seasons capabilities.

    The new iteration launches in 30 sizes covering 16- to 20-inch rim diameters with 20 more sizes to be added in the coming months, Pirelli said, and is covered by a 70,000-mile limited tread wear warranty.

    Technical highlights include:

    A "functionalized polymer" with increased silica content is used in the tread compound, which helps reduce stopping distances and enhance wet traction, handling and braking while maintaining the previous generation's treadwear, winter traction, noise, comfort, dry handling and steering performance, Pirelli said.

    The compound also is used in the recently released Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II, Pirelli said.

    The tire features a contact patch that is 5% larger than the predecessor model and features an "optimized" shape that helps improve wet performance, braking and handling over the previous generation.

    The average selling price for the new tire is in the $160 range, depending on size.
