For over 20 years, Pirelli and Ford have had a solid relationship, cooperating to create tires explicitly intended for a wide range of more than fifteen different Ford models. These joint endeavors show today in this new form of the Scorpion ATR with developments intended to underline the exhibition of the all-new Ford F-150. This new tire configuration will be the premise of the scope of tires inside the Pirelli Scorpion family that will be delivered in the coming months.
In the course of the last two and half years, engineers from Pirelli and Ford cooperated through a thorough homologation measure, which included co-plan, prototyping, industrialization stages, extreme indoor testing just as many long stretches of reenactment and demonstration.
The objective was to plan an ideal fit tire that incorporated all of Ford’s targets. Specifically, Pirelli’s specialists planned shape profiles explicitly for the all-new Ford F-150, to offer the greatest degree of hold with improved moving obstruction.
Likewise, the customized Scorpion ATR for the all-new Ford F-150 presents a committed track design to lessen tire noise by up to 3 decibels. Pirelli’s technicians also worked on a new generation of tread compound to provide secure wet handling and snow performance for this heavy-duty vehicle.
To accomplish these objectives, Pirelli conveyed its most exceptional recreation and designing apparatuses to meet Ford’s demanding tire particular focuses at each emphasis of advancement. This digital and synergistic plan approach altogether sped up and enhanced tire execution, alongside a decrease in the quantity of actual tires tested.
The Pirelli Scorpion ATR tires designed for The 2021 Ford F-150 are available in two sizes: 275/60R20 and 265/70R17.
