We would like to wish you a nice weekend… with a question: who is the winter’s best friend??

Snowcontrol Serie IIEh eh, those users who followed carefully our blog will answer “Snowcontrol Serie II”.
Those who are more attracted by the picture will instead say “Huskies”.
Well, to be truth you’re both right, because the huskies are for the sledges what the Snowcontrol Serie II is for your car (this is a big clue for you to find out what will happen on the 14th on the Stelvio!!).

The participants of the Tour won’t just experience this tyre on the snow of the Stelvio Pass, but they will also test it on the track in Vizzola, one group on the 13th and the other on the 15th of October: straight roads and bends, handling and braking tests on wet surfaces, technical explanations about the rolling resistance improvement.

Vizzola is a track close to Milan, used by Pirelli for its test drives (below you can see a “vintage” picture of the circuit and a current one that we just googled).

To understand the behaviour of the Snowcontrol Serie II on roads and snow, you should watch the video posted below!

Ps. October just started… time is flying and we’re getting closer and closer to the Tour!!

Enjoy your weekend! :)
