Features and Benefits: Winter weather performance; Improved controllability; Run flat tire model; Quiet driving experience; Pirelli Scorpion Winter Run Flat Tires The Pirelli Scorpion Winter Run Flat is a performance, winter tire manufactured for SUVs. The model has a reinforced internal structure that provides run flat capability. In other words, when air pressure drops in the tire, it can also offer a limited, temporary performance. The tire can be driven for 50 miles up to 50 mph. It means that the vehicle will not be stranded on the road, and it can be driven to a nearby location to fix or change the tire. At the same time, run flat tires are heavier, which means that they should not be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle. Excellent controllability and driving stability are offered with this tire. The directional tread pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges and improves the tire's performance. The tire manages to keep constant contact with the driving surface and increases steering responsiveness. The steering response time becomes faster and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Cornering and braking are upgraded as well. This combination enables the driver to have full control over the vehicle. Winter-weather traction is provided with this tread pattern and the winter compound. In this manner, the optimized tread elements keep constant surface contact, while the compound maintains flexibility in cold winter temperatures. These elements upgrade the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered roads. On the other hand, the special siping details and the wide grooves prevent hydroplaning. These elements eliminate water and slush from the footprint and guarantee a secure performance. The Pirelli Scorpion Winter Run Flat boosts its driving comfort levels. The variable pitch pattern manages to negate the sound waves heard in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. This pattern cancels out road and tread pattern noise heard by the passengers, preventing road disturbances from ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment. The result is a quiet driving experience. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select BMW vehicles. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
