5.0/5
(2 reviews)
  • Tick Icon Car
    Car tyre:

    Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.

  • Tick Icon Reinforced (XL)
    Extra Load or Reinforced tyres:

    A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.

  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

    Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.

Product description & features

The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 premium passenger car tyre is designed for snow braking and traction. It employs a directional V-shaped tread for the braking performance and traction for snow and the evacuation of water and slush through tread channels and towards the outer edge. Pirelli's 2in1 Block layout divides snow edges in a block, while allowing the two halves to assist one another during braking. Pirelli's Multiactive 4D Sipes are thin, short cuts in a block that pull water out from the surface and create new edges for traction.

Pirelli claims that the Cinturato Winter 2 improves snow performance by 20%, while showing a 10% improvement in rolling resistance, compared to the Cinturato Winter. The tyre features snowflake and mountain pictogram sidewall certifications that indicate suitability for severe snow conditions. At Tyres.co.uk, we have tyres in stock.

Highlights

  • Directional V-shaped tread
  • Snow braking and traction

Tyre review for Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 205/45R17 88V XL
They changed my JCW Mini Cooper from being unmanageable during Ottawa winters to being track car like in terms of road grip during the crazy winter conditions. These tyres offer insane levels of grip and braking in deep snow, ice, and freezing rain.

Tyre review for Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 205/45R17 88V XL
Snowy conditions are especially challenging for rear-wheel drive cars, but performance in such conditions was outstanding.
