Pirelli Earns Two ‘Best Buy’ Ratins From Consumers Digest

Two of Pirelli’s most popular consumer tire products – the P Zero Nero All Season and the Scorpion Verde All Season – were named a Consumers Digest “Best Buy” in the publication’s January/February 2012 issue featuring reviews of radial passenger tires.

According to the publication, a Best Buy is a product that delivers exceptional value for a given amount of money and merits special attention from consumers. Consumers Digest’s Best Buys in tires were selected based on performance, features, expected tread life and warranty. The Consumers Digest comparison list shows top-rated tire values in Premium (P), Midrange (M) and Economy (E) segments.

“We are very proud to have been selected by Consumers Digest,” said Tom Gravalos, vice-president of marketing, Motorsport and Original Equipment at Pirelli Tire North America. “Pirelli Tires have been the original equipment on the world’s finest vehicles for over a century. The P Zero Nero All Season and Scorpion Verde All Season tires are marquis brands in the North American markets. Each has been recognized as the reference in its respective segment, and receiving a “Best Buy” designation from Consumers Digest is a testament to our product’s quality and design.”

The P Zero Nero All Season is the high performance original equipment utility player in Pirelli’s line-up and is original equipment on two of America’s best-known and prestigious muscle cars: the Ford Mustang and new Chevrolet Camaro. The Scorpion Verde All Season is the Green Performance tire designed specifically for SUV’s, Crossovers and Light Trucks. It offers drivers increased performance in wet braking, dry handling, wet handling and snow traction, while reducing aquaplaning. The Scorpion Verde All Season’s use of improved compounds helps deliver longer tread life for consumers.  It simply outperforms the competition with its optimized rubber to void ratio, special silica tread compound and uniform contact pressure. All this means improved wear uniformity, which equals higher mileage and a stable footprint.
