Pirelli Winter Tires Are Undisputed Leaders In Winter Homologations
“Homologation” is a process by which winter tires are specifically developed with, and approved by, premium vehicle manufacturers. This painstaking process involves rigorous testing and close collaboration with leading vehicle manufacturers, sometimes taking up to 3 years to complete as manufacturers strive to find tires that can bring out their vehicles’ very best characteristics.
If a winter tire is homologated, you’ll find the manufacturers’ “stamp of approval” in the form of a short code on the sidewall (e.g. AO for Audi; MO for Mercedes; and N1 for Porsche).
Pirelli winter tires are the undisputed leaders in winter tire homologations, with over 600 in total, comprising:
- Over 60 homologations for the Ice Zero Pirelli winter tire
- Over 400 homologations for the Winter Sottozero Pirelli winter tire
- Over 100 homologations for the Scorpion Ice and Snow winter tire
- Over 10 homologations for the Winter SnowControl Pirelli winter tire
