According to premium manufacturer brand Pirelli, the Powergy™ Winter model is a smart choice for winter, especially when water is abundant and melting snow on the roads. This is because Pirelli has ensured effective protection against aquaplaning, thanks to the V-shaped tread that also maximises grip and braking performance on slippery ground. The side blocks are criss-crossed with transverse grooves, and the arrangement of the sipes - opposite to the alignment of the main grooves - improves control of the car.
The tread's effectiveness is supported by a compound containing grip-enhancing polymers and plasticisers. Thanks to this second component, the tyre retains its properties even in sulphurous frost and also in warmer conditions - the temperature spectrum of tyre use is wider.
Hailing from Italy, the Pirelli brand has been supplying users with tyres that can certainly be described as premium for more than a century and a half. Among other things, the company is known for its sponsorship of sporting events or the publication of the now-famous Pirelli calendar. In terms of Italian competition support, it is worth mentioning Formula 1 races, as well as the World Superbike Championship or World Rally.
