Powergy – Pirelli’s latest summer tyre

Product News

After bringing no new tyres to market for quite some time, last year Pirelli kicked off a product offensive with the launch of the Cinturato P7 C2 summer line. It followed this up with the Cinturato All Season SF2, and the Cinturato Winter 2 will arrive in time for next winter. And another addition to the Pirelli portfolio is apparently on its way, too.

Each of the 235/35Z R19 front and 295/35 R20 rear tyres contain a sensor that loquaciously provides vital data to the car’s onboard computer.

Pirelli has reaffirmed its commitment to “maintaining industrial operations” at both its Carlisle and Burton-on-Trent UK factories after unions suggested the company was about to close its MIRS robotic production line in Burton. According to Unite, which represents all 280 members of the Burton tyre factory workforce, Pirelli has proposed cutting 80 jobs. In a statement published on 11 February 2021, Unite criticised Pirelli for “not taking up the furlough scheme for these workers, instead of pushing ahead with the redundancies.”

Until recently, the Guinness World Record for the fastest speed by a vehicle indoors stood at 86 mph.

Pirelli’s new rally tyre for snow and ice, which has studs longer than 8mm, will make its first appearance this weekend. Fitted to R5 cars on the Arctic Rally from 15-16 January, the Sottozero Ice WJ debuts at the opening round of the Finnish Rally Championship. Its long titanium-tipped studs are locked into place using Pirelli’s patented vulcanisation process for retention.

It is suitable for R5, R2 and historic rally vehicles.
