Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires are Pirelli's latest version of snow tires designed for high-performance vehicles. These tires are specifically engineered to provide safety and convenience in challenging winter conditions. The special feature of these tires is Pirelli's Self-Supporting Run Flat Technology, which allows them to maintain mobility even in the event of a puncture and complete loss of air pressure. With this technology, the tires can continue to run flat for up to 50 miles at speeds of up to 50 mph. The Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires are not just snow tires, they are also suitable for cold weather and freezing road conditions. They are designed to perform well in various weather conditions, including cool, cold, dry, wet, and wintry conditions. The tires have a unique compound with specialized polymers that improve their mechanical, thermal, and dynamic properties. The tread pattern of the tires is designed to expel water and slush, ensuring optimal traction and handling. The internal structure of the Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped polyamide. This enhances their thermal stability and makes them less affected by changes in road and air temperatures. Pirelli's extended mobility solution is achieved through their advanced manufacturing system, which ensures consistency in the application of sidewall reinforcements that enable the self-supporting run-flat capability. These winter tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are marked with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. It is recommended to install Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flat tires in sets of four to achieve the best handling characteristics and tire performance. For those looking for tires with run-flat-like characteristics, Pirelli offers MOExtended or MOE tires. While they cannot be labeled as run-flat tires, they provide limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture that results in complete loss of air pressure. However, MOExtended or MOE tires do not have the same endurance as conventional run-flat tires and should not be used as substitutes when a conventional run-flat tire is required. To determine the suitable tire for your vehicle, refer to the Original Equipment tire listing or consult your vehicle owner's manual.
