The Scorpion All Season SF2 is an all-season product from Pirelli, designed for SUVs. These vehicles, due to their higher unladen weight and good performance, need tyres with a solid structure, and it is this model that is the Italian company's answer to drivers' expectations.
Pirelli's designers were up to the challenge, creating a tyre that combines many seemingly contradictory features. The Scorpion All Season SF2 is known not only for its outstanding driving comfort but also for its exceptionally high mileage. The above-average braking performance is also noteworthy. Interestingly, the tyre performs similarly well in this category on dry asphalt as it does in wet and snowy conditions.
These ambitious goals are made possible by innovative technologies and a carefully engineered tyre design. The secret of the success is, above all, the new blend used in this product. It enables not only a reduction in rolling resistance but also improved performance in all weather conditions (dry, wet, or snowy asphalt), all year round.
The tread of the Scorpion All Season SF2 tyre is full of modern solutions. Each has its specific task. The central blocks have a self-locking V-shaped structure that maintains the stability of SUVs. The characteristic grooves - zig-zag in the centre and variable geometry on the shoulders - improve traction on wet asphalt and increase resistance to aquaplaning. Like other premium manufacturers, Pirelli uses 3D sipes. They occur all around the perimeter. The advantage is better traction on snow and shorter braking distances in all conditions. As a result, the tyre also achieves higher mileage and more even tread wear.
In addition to outstanding performance, a premium tyre must also offer high levels of comfort. Customers expect tyres in this product category to offer quiet performance. Pirelli’s engineers achieved this by optimising the shoulder areas to reduce noise generated while driving. A specially optimised sequence of notches also serves this purpose.
The Italian company Pirelli is one of the longest-established companies in the industry and beyond. A long-standing commitment to motorsport is reflected in the innovation of the tyres produced. It is on racetracks that innovations are tested, which are then verified on public roads. The quality of Milan's products can also be seen in the large number of tyres used in cars by premium brands for first assembly (OE).
