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.
