The new PIRELLI POWERGY summer tyres are designed for passenger cars and SUVs.
Thanks to new technologies, the tyre delivers strong grip and braking on wet road surfaces, as well as precise handling in all road conditions. The tyre's low rolling resistance ensures low fuel consumption and a high level of driving comfort.
In pre-sale tests, the POWERGY, compared with the Pirelli P Zero Nero GT, showed 10% better grip on wet road surfaces and 5% better grip on dry road surfaces. The POWERGY's classic asymmetric tread provides stable grip in all summer weather conditions. Three central ribs give the tyre a rigid structure, which improves handling, braking efficiency on dry road surfaces and even, longer-lasting tread wear. As they reach a wet surface, the smooth, rounded tread grooves quickly channel water away from the tyre's contact patch, so the tyre resists aquaplaning superbly and brakes faster. A single line of sipes ensures rapid water drainage from the contact patch. The optimised sipe design and layout reduce noise and improve ride comfort. The rubber compound of the PIRELLI POWERGY delivers excellent grip on both dry and wet road surfaces, while the special polymers in the compound give the tyre a longer service life.
