The most important argument in favour of cold weather tyres is, of course, their greater safety. The advantages are clearly visible in comparative tests with summer tyres. Cold Weather tyres give a much shorter braking distance on wet or snow covered road surfaces at temperatures below +7ºC.

SOTTOZEROTM SERIE II Winter SOTTOZERO™ Serie II is designed to actively react in the presence of wet asphalt and low external temperatures (under 7°C).

It represents a versatile and safe answer for optimal driving conditions in all autumn and winter weather conditions: dry, wet or snow covered surfaces do not make a difference, Winter SOTTOZERO™ Serie II guarantees the best performance on all surfaces.

THE ESSEX-BASED FAMILY-RUN BUSINESS, JET WHEEL TYRE, HAS BEATEN COMPETITION FROM 65 DEALERS ACROSS THE UK TO TAKE THE ACCOLADE OF PIRELLI PERFORMANCE CENTRE (PPC) OF THE YEAR. Jet Wheel Tyre employs more than 25 staff and is primarily a tyre retailer holding 6,000 tyres in stock, of which 75% are premium performance products.

“The objective behind the Pirelli Performance Centre concept is to provide a network of dealers with high technical levels and commitment to service, allowing Pirelli to confidently direct drivers of High Performance cars into these high standard depots. PPCs are stringently audited and tested, making Jet Wheel Tyre’s achievement all the more impressive,” said Dominic Sandivasci, Managing Director of Pirelli UK Tyres Ltd.

To test customer service levels each of the 14 platinum PPCs was visited by a mystery shopper, from an independent company, secretly videoing their customer journey.

The video was instrumental in deciding the overall winner.

Mr Sandivasci said Jet Wheel Tyre had progressed through the PPC rankings rapidly, highlighting the company’s attention to improving the business. “Jet Wheel Tyre is on top if its game. Not only did it achieve the gold PPC standard in March 2009 after its first ever Pirelli audit, but thanks to strong commitment from the management and staff, it has excelled to become one of only 14 dealers in the UK to gain Pirelli’s top platinum ranking. And now it has won the coveted title of PPC of the year,” he said.

Cliff Crane, Managing Director of Jet Wheel Tyre, said he imagines winning PPC of the year feels like topping the premiership.

>>>

Each PPC centre undertakes a constant programme of quality and technical evaluation, achieved through regular audits which cover a wide spectrum of areas. These include working practices, standard and maintenance of equipment, housekeeping and procedures which relating to tyre/wheel removal and replacement. Each PPC is graded according to the audit pass level achieved, silver, gold and platinum.

Pictured from left to right, Dominic Sandivasci, Managing Director of Pirelli Tyres UK Ltd, Cliff Crane, Managing Director of Jet Wheel Tyre & Davide Ivac, Pirelli Retail Network Development Manager.

He said: “We have only been a Pirelli Performance Centre for a year, but have noticed that staff motivation has increased dramatically as we have all had a target to aspire to achieving. This has been a real driving force for us, making us think and act more professionally. Gaining the award is acknowledgement that we are one of the very best centres in the UK, which is a real boost for everyone here. All of the staff are really proud of the jackets, travel bags, sweatshirts and other rewards that Pirelli has given them.”

As well as providing prizes for the staff, Pirelli also donated money to Jet Wheel Tyre which the company has invested in decorating the waiting area with a display of rally tyres, and replacing signage to acknowledge their recent PPC achievement.

When you specify P Zero™ for your car, you are choosing an ultra high performance tyre which has been developed and proven in World Championship motorsport. An arena where professional drivers understand the importance of correct tyre selection, fitting and set up. Where every single element of their car’s performance relies ultimately on the tyres, whose job it is to transfer everything to the ground - handling, braking and acceleration.

In a Motorsport environment, to maximise the potential of P Zero™, a dedicated tyre technician forms part of the race team. Responsible for selection advice, swift, expert fitting, precision balancing and super accurate pressures.

With Pirelli Performance Centres, Pirelli has created the same service for its customers, who equally need advice on which P Zero™ tyre is right for their car and driving style; and need assurance that their new tyres are being fitted by fully trained technicians who are used to dealing with - and looking after - high performance vehicles.

Pirelli Performance Centre staff have a sense of pride, which is evident from the welcome you’ll get and the knowledge and enthusiasm you’ll encounter.
