The Scorpion Verde (Italian for
green) All-Season RFT is Pirelli''s eco-friendly
Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season run-flat tire developed for
the drivers of crossovers, sport utility vehicles and
prestigious pickups. Scorpion Verde All Season RFT tires
feature Pirelli Self-Supporting Run Flat Technology that
enhances safety and convenience by providing temporary
extended mobility in the event a puncture results in
complete loss of air pressure. Pirelli Self-Supporting Run
Flat Technology allows tires to literally "run flat" for up
to 50 miles at 50 mph (80 km at 80 km/h) unless otherwise
specified by the vehicle manufacturer for Original Equipment
tires. The Ecoimpact* icons on the Scorpion Verde All-Season
RFT sidewalls highlight the tire''s environmentally-friendly
contribution to increasing vehicle fuel economy and reducing
CO2 emissions compared to Pirelli''s earlier CUV/SUV tire
lines. The Scorpion Verde All-Season RFT is designed to
combine dry and wet road handling, comfort and year-round
capabilities, including all-season traction in light snow.
The Scorpion Verde All-Season RFT molds a silica tread
compound into an asymmetric tread design that features an
optimized rubber-to-void ratio and uniform contact patch to
blend dry road traction and performance with uniform wear.
Four wide circumferential grooves displace water to resist
hydroplaning and enhance wet traction while longitudinal
siping provides lateral stability on loose surfaces and
high-density lateral siping enhances wet and wintertime
traction. The tire''s internal structure includes twin steel
belts to provide strength and durability on top of a
polyester cord body. Pirelli''s extended mobility solution
is made possible by their MIRS computer-controlled robotized
manufacturing system, a production process that assures
consistency in the application of the additional sidewall
reinforcements that provide the self-supporting run-flat
capability.
