The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 is a winter tire suitable for coupes, sedans, CUVs, and minivans. It is designed to enhance grip on snowy and icy roads, resulting in shorter braking distances. The tire has a winter tread design and a black sidewall. It is certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, which means that it can be used in moderate to severe winter weather conditions. The tread of the tire is equipped with main groove chamfers that effectively expel water, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads. Driving in winter weather can be challenging due to various factors such as ice, slush, snow, and frozen roads. However, the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 tires offer consistent grip in these conditions. The tires feature interlocking 3D sipes that significantly improve grip, resulting in shorter braking distances on snowy and icy roads. Additionally, the multi-active 4D sipes enhance handling performance on snowy roads. The tread pattern of the Cinturato Winter 2 is staggered and V-shaped, allowing water, slush, and melting snow to be efficiently channeled out of the tread, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. The grooves also help pack snow, providing snow-on-snow contact for consistent grip. The wide shoulder grooves work in conjunction with the narrower center grooves to swiftly remove water, further enhancing resistance to hydroplaning. Furthermore, the Cinturato Winter 2 is constructed with a special rubber compound that reduces uneven wear, ensuring a longer tread life for drivers.
