The Pinza AT tire from Vredestein is designed for drivers of pickup trucks, crossovers, and full-size SUVs who want a tire that combines off-road capabilities with on-road comfort and stability. The tire incorporates elements of traditional all-terrain design while also including features that are more focused on highway performance. This allows the Pinza AT to provide traction in various challenging road conditions, including light snow traction that meets the tire industry's requirements for severe snow service rating, as evidenced by the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. The tread pattern of the Pinza AT tire is created using computer-aided design and consists of four grooves. These grooves contribute to the tire's rugged appearance while still maintaining good performance on roads. The tread pattern also includes aggressive biting edges in the shoulder elements and a higher void ratio to improve grip on loose surfaces. Additionally, full depth siping and large zig zag circumferential grooves enhance wet weather traction and resistance to hydroplaning, providing increased confidence when driving in wet or wintry conditions. The internal construction of the Pinza AT tire differs depending on the size. Euro Metric sizes feature a robust 2-ply casing, while LT Metric sizes boast a 3-ply Triplex Casing design. Both variations utilize Vredestein's Jointless Hexabead Technology, which ensures durability and endurance, especially for severe duty applications. The twin steel belts of the tire are equipped with edge protectors and topped with a nylon ply, contributing to improved composure at high speeds. It is important to note that while non-winter tires with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide better traction in snow compared to all-season tires without the symbol, they are not as capable as true winter tires in all adverse weather conditions.
