Drive into winter with complete control! The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 3 is a UHP tyre. It was created for drivers who expect the perfect combination of comfort, safety and driving dynamics in the most difficult road conditions. The latest version of the iconic Cinturato series is the ideal choice for owners of saloon cars and crossovers looking for precision, stability and fully predictable handling.
Exceptional traction on snow
The distinctive herringbone tread pattern, enhanced with special grooves and serrations, effectively increases traction on both fresh and compacted snow. The zigzag central groove improves lateral grip, while the unique tread pattern shortens braking distances in winter conditions. This keeps the car stable even during fast manoeuvres on snow-covered roads.
Reliable on wet surfaces
Pirelli has refined this model to fully meet the challenges of winter weather. Cinturato Winter 3 performs excellently on wet surfaces, guaranteeing shorter braking distances and high resistance to aquaplaning. The tyre responds instantly to steering movements, allowing the driver to maintain confidence in all situations.
Durability and stability
The new tread design ensures even contact with the road surface. This translates into slower and more even tyre wear. An advanced rubber compound with polymer additives maintains flexibility at low temperatures, ensuring your car retains excellent traction whether you are driving on snow, ice or slush.
ELECT™ technology
In selected sizes, the tyre is also available in the ELECT™ version, developed specifically for electric cars and plug-in hybrids. This solution improves energy efficiency, supports vehicle range and reduces rolling noise, ensuring even greater driving comfort.
The Pirelli brand has always been associated with prestige, quality and outstanding technical performance. The manufacturer's tyres combine tradition with innovation. Exceptional handling precision and stylish design are features that drivers appreciate.
