Product description & features
Pirelli have designed the new Scorpion Elect SUV tyre to provide motorists with a high performance tyre, capable of achieving first rate wet performance, long mileage and a comfortable ride.
The tyre features variable lateral grooves on the edge of the tread pattern, to tackle the issue of aquaplaning. This, along with a optimised tread ratio allows the tyre to deliver strong braking with improved noise levels.
The ELECT™ marking on the sidewall identifies Pirelli tyres, specifically developed for high performance electric and plug-in vehicles.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
