About This Tire

The Pirelli Winter Cinturato 2 215/55R17 is a studless winter tire designed for crossover, passenger car, and SUV drivers who prioritize exceptional snow and ice traction with responsive handling in severe winter conditions. Its directional V-shaped tread design and specialized winter compound focus on maximizing grip in adverse weather while maintaining confident steering response.

The tire features a staggered directional tread pattern with wide outboard shoulder blocks for lateral grip, twin circumferential grooves for water and slush evacuation, and a combination of interlocking 3D sipes and straight edge 4D sipes for enhanced snow handling. It meets the tire industry's severe snow service rating and carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, certifying its winter performance capabilities.
