Pirelli Cinturato All Season (noted as "CintAS") makes life easier.
Combining summer and winter tyre qualities into a single tyre is a difficult balance. To perform in winter conditions, you need a tyre with sipes (small cuts in the rubber) to enable good ice and snow traction, and a compound soft enough to work in freezing conditions, but to work in warm dry conditions it needs solid tread blocks and a compound able to handle heat.
Pirelli have been hard at work to achieve this blend of performances. A directional tread pattern helps snow, slush and aquaplaning performance, while allowing for a certain level of tread stiffness.
Pirelli have also heavily optimised the siping, to blend a high number of centre sipes to enable strong snow and ice performance, with a limited number of 3D shoulder sipes to retain cornering stability in the wet and dry. Lastly, Pirelli worked heavily on an optimised full silica compound, to allow the compound to grip in a wide range of temperatures
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season is a tyre you can safely use all year round, quiet, comfortable on every surface without having to worry about getting stuck on ice or snow.
It is aimed at owners of city cars with small to medium engines, especially for those who live in large cities where winter conditions are never that extreme.
It is available in 15-, 16- and 17-inch versions.
Pirelli’s Seal Inside (noted as s-i CintAS)
Certain sizes of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season also have the "seal inside" technology. The seal inside technology is a thin layer of film moulded into the inside of the tyre, which will withstand objects such as nails entering and exiting up to 4mm in diameter without a loss of pressure, with none of the ride and noises issues traditional runflat tyres bring.
Pirelli’s research shows that 85 percent of cases where tyres lose air pressure are caused by penetration from foreign objects.
