Pirelli Winter Carving 195/55 R15 85T studded Winter tires

Winter Carving radials are Pirelli's Studdable Winter tires that were developed for the drivers of sport cars, coupes and sedans. They are designed to employ traditional methods of enhancing packed snow and ice traction during winter driving. Winter Carving radials use Pirelli's Adaptive Compound Technology (ACT) to blend winter performance with wear resistance. They feature a directional tread design with rounded shoulders to increase hydroplaning resistance on wet and slush-covered roads while enhancing dry road handling. High density lateral siping across the face of the tire enhances packed snowstarting and stopping traction while alternating rows of metal studs in the shoulder tread blocks and center zone increase traction on icy roads. Pirelli Winter Carving tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements however, not all sizes are branded with the snowflake-on-the-mountain symbol. Install Pirelli Winter Carving tires in sets of four only. Due to the traction capabilities of the Pirelli Winter Carving, Pirelli recommends using Winter Carving tires only in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance.  more
