Pirellis Says: Ask For An Inch and Youll
Get 24 More

Las Vegas, Nevada, Nov. 4, 2003 – Lets all admit it.
The Hummer H2 is a pretty outrageous vehicle. Its got
in-your-face-styling that dares lesser SUVs to kick sand in its
grille.
And while its 315/70R17 tires are anything but wimpy, whens
the last time you saw a Hummer H2 sporting stock wheels and tires?
Right! Just about never.
And if youre thinking about making a statement
with your H2, check out Pirellis booth (40919) at the SEMA
show for a preview of Dub plus 5, a Pirelli Scorpion
Zero tire that stands 25 inches tall.
Fitted to a unique Giovanna Bragg alloy wheel, Pirellis
315/40VR25 XL (120) M+S radial was designed specifically with the
Hummer H2 tuner market in mind. And because Pirelli believes that
size must never take precedence over safety and innovation, this
25-incher has an XL (extra load) designation, meaning it has a load
index designed to safely support the weight of vehicles such as the
H2 and other light trucks and SUVs. Some over-20 inch
tires on the market these days might look trick, but if they
dont have a load index equal to or greater than the OE tire
they are replacing, you should consider them all show and no
go.
The Scorpion Zero 315/40VR25 features Pirellis exclusive
Double Z tread design, which provides maximum dry
traction along with total wet traction capabilities. Specifications
for the tire follow:

Scorpion Zero and Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, the first U.S. MIRS
SUV pattern, are also available in the following 20-, 22-, 23- and
24-inch rim diameters:

Pirelli recently received three Best Buy awards from
the editors of Consumer Digest magazine, including the Scorpion
Zero for the light truck/SUVcategory.
