Pirelli Sottozero Spiked Winter Tires
With icy roads becoming a problem for people in certain places, chances are you should start considering a better studded tire to assist you on the road. In fact, World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb can attest to the fact that the Pirelli Sottozero Spiked Winter tires are certified winners since it helped assist him in claiming his last title last year.
Claiming his 49th career win, Loeb commented: “These were classic winter conditions and we had very good grip from the Pirelli Sottozeros. Sometimes, when you could see the ice, it was hard to believe just how much grip there was from the tyres.”
In the past, spiked snow tires for WRC winter rallies used to be of a special narrow size, designed to bite through soft snow to the harder surfaces underneath. This year Pirelli’s tungsten-tipped Sottozero winter tires have been designed to fit on standard 15-inch gravel wheel rims, as part of the FIA’s cost-cutting drive which is fully supported by Pirelli.
