<\/p>\nPirelli has revealed the Scorpion All Season SF3: an all-season tyre designed specifically for SUVs that expands the technical features of the award-winning Cinturato All Season SF3 to specifically meet the needs of this class of vehicle.<\/p>\n
Available in sizes from 17- to 21-inches, the tyre is distinguished by the ‘Elect’ marking, denoting models equipped with technology solutions tailored for BEVs and PHEVs. It is also offered with Pirelli Noise Cancelling System (PNCS), which reduces tyre rolling noise thanks to a special sound-absorbing material inside the tyre.<\/p>\n

For medium and compact cars, the Cinturato All Season SF3 remains available, which has also achieved excellent results in Dekra cumulative braking tests and has been awarded the T\u00dcV S\u00dcD Performance Mark for high performance in varied driving conditions. This product covers sizes from 15- to 20-inches and, in addition to Elect technology, selected sizes also feature Seal Inside Technology, which allows continued driving without air loss even after a puncture.<\/p>\n
Already from launch, the entire product line features an “A” rating on the European label for wet grip. Its snow performance is certified by the 3PMSF marking, which identifies tyres that have passed stringent tests in winter conditions.<\/p>\n
Pirelli says the Scorpion All Season SF3 also stands out for driving comfort, offering a smooth and pleasant experience. The entire range is rated “B” for external noise on the EU label and is ranked in classes A and B for rolling resistance: ensuring long-lasting performance and reduced emissions.<\/p>\n
Pirelli adds that the Scorpion All Season SF3 inherits key features that made the Cinturato All Season SF3 a winner in key comparative tests, underlining its best in class reputation.<\/p>\n
Optimised for SUVs<\/strong> Adaptive Tread Structure<\/strong> The adaptive design also affects the movement of the sipes. Thanks to their ability to close and compact under high contact stress, the tread transforms from a winter-like siped pattern to a more summer-like profile. This enables effective performance on dry surfaces and during braking.<\/p>\n Material Innovation<\/strong> To identify the optimal compound, Pirelli used its AI-based Virtual Compounder tool, which assists engineers in selecting the best material mix from thousands of combinations. 3D modelling also played a crucial role, allowing parallel design of the compound and tread pattern. This approach optimised their interaction, helping achieve the desired performance targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pirelli has revealed the Scorpion All Season SF3: an all-season tyre designed specifically for SUVs that expands the technical features of the award-winning Cinturato All Season SF3 to specifically meet the needs of this class of vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":39675,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,33],"tags":[783],"class_list":["post-39674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-pirelli","tag-pirelli"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nTo support the handling and weight of SUVs, specific adaptations and technological solutions were introduced. These include reinforced tread blocks with larger dimensions and a progressive entry geometry that gradually increases the contact patch between the tread block and the road. This avoids sudden pressure peaks and allows a smoother interaction with the asphalt, reducing vibrations and road noise. Additionally, this design improves driving comfort, stability, and grip \u2013 especially in heavier vehicles.<\/p>\n
\nEffective year-round performance is supported by a special tread design featuring an adaptive structure, carried over from the Cinturato All Season SF3. It includes 3D sipes that change shape from straight lines to a zigzag pattern as the tyres wear down, increasing the surface area capable of gripping snow even as tread depth decreases.<\/p>\n
\nThe adaptive behaviour of the tread is made possible by material innovation. To balance these wider grooves, the Scorpion All Season SF3 compound is formulated for stiffness, stability, and response at high temperatures. Winter grip is enhanced through the introduction of innovative materials, including a new mix of polymers with specific microstructures that ensure high mobility at low temperatures. New natural-origin resins improve grip on cold surfaces, while liquid polymers enhance snow performance without compromising wet traction.<\/p>\n
