Pirelli has launched Pentathlon D, its first tire in the Pentathlon product family, one dedicated to premium longhaul drive applications in North America. After a successful pilot phase of extensive testing, research, and development, Pentathlon D is one of the latest tires to launch from TP Commercial Solutions LLC, an entity of the Pirelli Brand of Radial Truck Tires, Agricultural Tires and Off-The Road Tires in the United States and Canada.

Featuring the most advanced Pirelli technology, tailored to the North American market, Pentathlon D is a formidable premium offering that gives fleets the best of both worlds--extremely high mileage, and fuel savings, and low emission benefits as a SmartWay verified tire with EcoImpact features.

“Pentathlon D provided excellent results in testing against the industry’s most important performance benchmarks of mileage and traction in all conditions. This is a true embodiment of everything the Pirelli brand stands for: high performance, premium quality, innovative technology and industry leadership,” said Clif Armstrong, president of TP Commercial Solutions LLC.

As the Pentathlon name connotes, this tire has five distinct areas that distinguish it:

1.  High mileage--a dual layer tread compound is incorporated into the design for long lasting performance

2. Energy efficiency--achieved via a specialized undertread compound to provide lower rolling resistance, and therefore lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions

3.  Even wear--an optimized pattern geometry and 3SB belt evolution ensures durable, even wear

4.  High traction--a directional tread pattern for excellent grip on wet and dry

5.  High retreadability--Pirelli’s patented Spiral Advanced Technology for Truck (SATT) technology, combined with Hexa Bead Wire delivers the ultimate retreadability
