Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Run Flat Tires
The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Run Flat is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for SUVs.
The tire is a run flat model. This allows it to withstand the weight of the vehicle and the passengers in case of air pressure loss. When air pressure leaves the tire due to a puncture or other damage, the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph, which enables the vehicle to securely arrive at a nearby location. As the vehicle is not stranded on the side of the road, it ensures a safer driving experience. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the vehicle with regular tires, as they have a strengthened internal structure.
The all season traction is also ensured. The silica compound and the ideal tread design with the siping placements upgrade the dry, wet, and winter weather traction. The silica-based compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter situations. The tread design's siping placement firmly grips the road surface with additional biting edges, upgrading the year-round performance. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, resisting hydroplaning and further boosting the wet weather performance.
The ideal tread design upgrades the controllability as well. The rigid shoulder pattern optimizes the surface contact throughout the performance. The shoulder tread's rigidity upgrades the road contact, which enhances steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder elements also optimize the cornering ability. This tread pattern offers additional biting edges, which upgrades the maneuvering capability and power.
The lightweight tire compound and the stronger traction help to ease the pressure off the tire. This enables the tire to minimize the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure that determines the vehicle's necessary fuel consumption in order to keep the tires in motion. Lowering the rolling resistance, the tire is able to reduce the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. As a result, the tire guarantees a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.
The asymmetric tread design with the rigid shoulder blocks maintains the surface contact. The better surface contact allows the tire to prevent tread flexing. Tread flexing generates additional and unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface, which can cause premature and irregular wear formations. This combination enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure affecting the model. The equally spread-out forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking resist irregular wear formations. In this manner, the tire greatly lengthens the model's service life and usability.
The Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Run Flat promotes a quiet performance. The tread design's even pressure circulation allows the tire to minimize the road and tread pattern noise levels. The tread design, as a result, prevents soundwave formations while the tires are in motion. This promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience, as road disturbances cannot ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment.
This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
