The Winter Sottozero 3 is Pirelli's third-generation Performance Winter/Snow tire designed for drivers of high-performance vehicles who face challenging winter road conditions year-round. These tires are not just for snow, but also suitable for cold weather and freezing roads. They are developed to perform well in various weather conditions, including cool, cold, dry, wet, and wintry conditions. The Winter Sottozero 3 tires utilize an innovative compound with specialized polymers to enhance the mechanical, thermal, and dynamic properties of the tread rubber. The directional pattern features larger center blocks and rounded shoulders, which increase the contact patch and help expel water and slush. The tires also incorporate high-density 3D sipe technology for improved braking and snow-to-snow traction. The internal structure of the Winter Sottozero 3 tires includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide. This enhances thermal stability and reduces sensitivity to temperature changes in both the road and air. These tires meet the industry's requirements for severe snow service and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. To maximize handling characteristics and tire performance, Pirelli recommends installing Winter Sottozero 3 tires in sets of four. It is important to note that the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF) indicates that the tires meet the industry's standards for severe snow service.
