Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires are Pirelli's third generation of performance winter/snow tires designed for premium, high-performance vehicles that are driven year-round. These tires utilize Pirelli's Self-Supporting Run Flat Technology which allows them to continue running for up to 50 miles at 50 mph in the event of a puncture. The Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires are specifically engineered to excel in a range of winter conditions, providing traction and handling on cool, cold, dry, wet, and wintry roads. Featuring an advanced compound with specialized polymers, these tires offer improved mechanical, thermal, and dynamic properties. The directional tread pattern includes arrow-shaped center blocks and rounded shoulders to effectively expel water and slush, ensuring optimal performance. Additionally, high-density 3D sipe technology enhances braking and snow-to-snow traction. Internally, the Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires are constructed with twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide, which enhances thermal stability and minimizes the impact of temperature changes on the tire. Pirelli's MIRS computer-controlled manufacturing system guarantees consistency in the application of sidewall reinforcements, enabling the extended mobility capability of the tires. These winter/snow tires meet the rigorous requirements for severe snow service and are identified with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF). It is important to install Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires in sets of four to ensure optimal handling and performance. Please note that while tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls may offer limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture, they do not possess the same endurance as conventional run-flat tires and should not be substituted in situations where a conventional run-flat tire is required. To determine the appropriate tire for your vehicle, refer to the Original Equipment tire listing for your make, model, and year or consult your vehicle owner's manual.
