Technical Information

New technologies and increasingly advanced technical characteristics, a continuous research towards safety, a jurisdiction not easy to understand: the tire sector is facing a continuous evolution and working your way through it can be very difficult.

The aim of this section is to facilitate the understanding of product technicalities and to provide useful information about tires and their safety aspects.

Tire Pairing

It is strongly recommended that Pirelli tires be mounted in sets of four with the same tread type. Pirelli tires should not be mixed with other tire brands. It is necessary to follow this procedure because of different tire constructions and different tire slip angles.
When changing only two tires on a vehicle which is homogeneously fitted (four tires the same tire size), fit the new tires on the rear axle. This applies to all vehicles regardless of their drive axle (Front or Rear Wheel Drive). Remember on all wheel drive vehicles the tires must always be replaced in sets of four.
