Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3
OVERVIEW
The Pirelli P7 AS Plus 3 is a touring, all season tire created for passenger cars and SUVs. Pirelli offers a 70,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
This model is designed to bring high performance to the asphalt all year long. The tread is densely packed with biting edges due to its siping pattern. The lateral and angled sipes boost the tire's traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads. They do this by enhancing its gripping ability on the road surface with additional biting edges. This model also boasts sturdy compound elements that adapt to hot and cold temperatures, depending on the season. It utilizes the four circumferential grooves to channel water and slush away from the tread elements. This way, it guarantees consistent traction in wet weather conditions.
The ribbed tread pattern is extremely detailed, allowing the tire to maintain close surface contact. This way, the tire is stabilized against the asphalt with its flat footprint. Its driving stability and steering responsiveness are both unbeatable thanks to its tread design. The tire's structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it throughout the drive. The shoulder blocks are siped which comes in handy during cornering, enabling the tire to establish a strong grip with the surface. The tire promotes seamless maneuverability with the high number of biting edges it offers.
The tire comes with a flat, five-rib tread that evenly distributes the load and driving pressure affecting it throughout the performance. This slows down tread wear, resulting in longer lasting usability. By evenly circulating the pressure affecting the tread, the tire prevents irregularities from forming. This is how it ensures a consistent performance, as the tire keeps its optimal shape instead of deforming. Tread wear is further slowed down by the tire's strong rubber compound. Reduced and even wear greatly upgrades the tire's service life.
The detailed tread utilizes the dense siping and the closed shoulder ribs to guarantee a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tire enhances comfort levels by trapping airwaves in the grooves and not letting them affect the tread elements. This prevents vibrations from forming, meaning that the tire is not going to generate much noise. With the P7 AS Plus, the road noises are not going to reach the vehicle cabin, enabling the driver to focus on the road ahead.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
