The different types of Pirelli WeatherActive tires

Even when the tread is 90% worn, it offers excellent performance. What’s more, the sipes remain visible up to 66%, which translates into a longer lifespan. For an ultra-comfortable ride, this Pirelli model also features a directional tread pattern to reduce road noise.
Note that the Cinturato WeatherActive tire is available in many different sizes.
Scorpion WeatherActive
The Scorpion WeatherActive tire has deep, continuous sipes, which contribute to its exceptional performance in rainy weather. The three-rib tread block ensures even wear, and the trumpet-shaped lateral grooves quickly force water out to keep you safe on wet roads. The zigzag central groove improves handling performance and braking on snow.
Note that the Scorpion WeatherActive tire is available in many different sizes. It is mainly suitable for utility vehicles and light trucks. Both the Cinturato and the Scorpion come with a 96,560-kilometre or 60,000-mile tread life warranty. They perform equally well when it comes to safety, efficiency, and durability.
