SCORPION ALL SEASON SF2: AN ADAPTIVE TREAD PATTERN WITH REINFORCED BLOCKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Scorpion All Season SF2<\/em> is aimed at people who want to comply with winter tyre regulation but don\u2019t want to bother with seasonal tyre changes. It\u2019s available in 33 sizes between 17 and 21 inches in this launch phase. On the shoulder, the M+S symbols accompanied by the 3PMSF (Three Peak Mountain Snowflake) marking certifies excellent performance even in winter conditions. Tyres with this 3PMSF marking are covered by European legislation as a  guarantee of compliance with winter tyre traffic regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scorpion All Season SF2<\/em> features a compound and a tread pattern inspired by that of the Cinturato<\/em>, with some unique peculiarities to cater for the specific characteristics of SUVs. The directional tread pattern of the Scorpion All Season SF2<\/em> is characterised by prominent V-shaped grooves that retain snow (improving vehicle control on snowy surfaces) while draining water from the footprint when driving on wet roads and helping to prevent sudden aquaplaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When driving in winter and low temperatures, the sipes in tread pattern remain open to facilitate better braking on snow, while when braking on dry or wet surfaces they close up, increasing the stiffness of the blocks, to generate greater grip. This adaptive behaviour is down to the 3D sipe technology, meaning that a winter tread pattern can automatically turn itself into a summer pattern, allowing better control of the vehicle in all dry and wet conditions. The design of the lateral grooves, combined with a continuous central groove, guarantees the efficient expulsion of water when it rains, improving safety and aquaplaning performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cope with the driving dynamics and weight of SUVs, there are reinforced blocks in the tread (in a larger size compared to the Cinturato All Season SF2<\/em>). The geometry of the tread pattern is also laid out so that these blocks reduce road noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tread compound of the Scorpion All Season SF2<\/em> is dual purpose: soft and adaptable for cold and wet conditions but rigid and stable for dry conditions. This happens thanks to the innovative components of the compound itself, which includes polymeric materials bonded to the silica particles. As well as effective performance at low temperatures, this guarantees low rolling resistance, ensuring lower fuel consumption or longer battery life. All the different sizes of Scorpion All Season SF2<\/em> (with the exception of those using run flat technology) are in the A or B classes of the European label for rolling resistance: an improvement over the previous product. The compound also has a wider temperature operating window than the previous Scorpion<\/em>, thanks to a more rigid compound. This means reduced tread wear and better performance from the tyre throughout its life, as well as a higher mileage: all of which is good news for the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1342,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-1341","releasearticles","type-releasearticles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bandenlab.be\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releasearticles\/1341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bandenlab.be\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/releasearticles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bandenlab.be\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/releasearticles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bandenlab.be\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bandenlab.be\/mag\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
