The Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT
(Series 2) is Pirelli's V-speed rated Performance Winter / Snow
run-flat tire developed for the drivers of premium, high performance
vehicles facing challenging wintertime road conditions as they drive
their cars year-round. Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT tires
feature Pirelli Self-Supporting Run Flat Technology that enhances
safety and convenience by providing temporary extended mobility in
the event a puncture allows 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 Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT was developed with the
philosophy that winter / snow tires must perform in a variety of
unpredictable weather conditions and aren't just for use in the
snowbelt states. Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT tires are
designed not just as winter / snow tires, but as seasonal tires
suitable for the weather and road conditions typically experienced
in parts of the U.S. between November and April by providing
traction and handling in dry, wet, cold and wintry conditions.
Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT tires use a tread compound
featuring new polymers and mixing processes that allow them to be
ecologically friendlier because they are free of aromatic oils.
Pirelli's Temperature Dynamic Compound technology optimizes the
compound for wet and icy surfaces to provide improved traction in
winter's near freezing and lower temperatures. The tread blocks
feature Pirelli's Interactive Brickwork Siping where the sipes
create a brickwork pattern that increases both lateral and
longitudinal stability while providing more biting edges to increase
snow traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel
belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide that enhances thermal
stability and makes the tires less sensitive to changes in road and
air temperatures.
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.
Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT tires meet the industry's severe
snow service requirements and are branded with the
mountain/snowflake symbol.
Install Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II RFT tires in sets of four
only.
Due to the traction capabilities of the Winter 240 Sottozero Serie
II RFT tires, Pirelli recommends using Winter 240 Sottozero Serie II
RFT tires only in sets of four to provide the best handling
characteristics and tire performance.
