Pirelli Scorpion MTR And P7 Evo Tyres: Sizes & Features Revealed

The Auto Expo 2020 witnessed two major tyre launches from Pirelli India -- the new Pirelli P7 EVO for cars and the Scorpion MTR for SUVs. The company till now had mostly focused on the premium and prestige tyre segments in India with respect to cars and motorcycles. However, the launch of the P7 Evo and the Scorpion MTR in the voluminous segments of 14, 15 and 16 inches, now makes the company a major competitor and will definitely necessitate dealership expansion owing to the new launches.

The P7 EVO

Its been 2 years since Pirelli launched the P6-Cinturato in the Indian market and the P7 EVO has been launched as a more modern upgrade to the P6-Cinturato.

The Pirelli P7 EVO is available in two variants - Touring and Performance; with both the variants having been developed by Pirelli with full focus on "safety" and "total overall performance."

The P7 EVO range will boast of the following USPs:

  • Safety
  • Performance
  • Longer Tyre Life ( as compared to the P-6 Cinturato)
  • 2-Ply Construction

The two tyres will differ in certain ways though. The touring variant will lag behind the peformance variant slightly when it comes to aspects like handling, comfort and fuel economy. While the slight differences in performance characteristics exist, both of them will boast of extremely good wet performance and dry braking.

Furthermore, the P7 Evo touring will be offered in a 3 groove pattern and a 4 groove pattern for different variants while the P7 Performance comes with a standardised 4 groove tread pattern for all sizes

Overall the P7 EVO promises to be much better than the previous gen P6- Cinturato in terms of wear, rolling resistance as well as noise reduction and wet performance.

The tread compound is made of a new gen SBR ( styrene butadiene rubber) with silica and is a special compound with resins that will improve the balance between wet traction and rolling resistance. The tyre will also boast of 1 or 2 ply nylon belts depending on the size of the tyre.
