Pirelli has unveiled its latest evolution of the Series:01 truck tyre range.

The new products have been developed using the latest design techniques, as is the case for Pirelli’s renowned Ultra High Performance road car tyres. For commercial operators, a particular emphasis has been placed on durability and safety.Compared to previous generation products, the new range of Pirelli truck tyres offer a longer tyre life, greater ease of rebuilding, and improved roadholding on both wet and dry surfaces.

The technical evolution of the R:01II range touches on both the structure and the compound. The introduction of a reinforced bead means that the tyre is easier to rebuild, while the new compound formula offers a longer tyre life and better roadholding in a wide variety of conditions.

The R:01II range is sold with two tread pattern designs: FR:01II and TR:01II.

FR:01II is specifically designed for steering axles. The new generation tyre features a wider tread, leading to longer life as well as improved driving precision and roadholding. There is also an evolution of the grooves in the tyre, to maximise the expulsion of stones and other objects, boosting durability.

TR:01II is the tyre for driven axles. Thanks to its impressive roadholding in winter conditions, it has been awarded the European 3PMSF mark (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake).
