245/40R18 Pirelli Winter SottoZero 3 Winter

Category: Winter – Performance

The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is a winter top performance tire designed for use on high end premium vehicles. They provide maximum safety and control in all winter driving conditions including snow and ice. Winter Sottozero 3 tires offer you the ability to handle any winter driving environment with confidence.

3PMSF severe snow service rating indicated. Run flat design allows you to still drive a short distance despite having a puncture. Must be used with a compatible vehicle and TPMS.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 97 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 730 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating V indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 240 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • Winter tires are built for cold weather traction and carry 3PMS for severe snow service.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Run flat tires can temporarily support the vehicle after pressure loss, allowing you to keep control and drive a limited distance to service. Note that they require a compatible vehicle setup and a working TPMS system.
  • 3PMS is the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, confirming the tire meets recognized severe snow traction performance standards.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
