Tire Discounters Inc. announced it will sell Pirelli tires at all 81 retail locations in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The Cincinnati, Ohio-based company will carry 15 sizes of Pirelli’s new Cinturato P7 All Season Plus line, which includes a 70k warranty.
The Cinturato was designed for the North American luxury touring market in a range of new environmentally friendly tires suitable for cars ranging from city to high performance SUVs. They save fuel, last longer, and reduce both CO2 emissions and noise level, according to the company.

* 15% reduction in rolling resistance;
* 14% shorter stopping distance in wet conditions;
* 47% better tread wear for longer tire life;
* 5% reduction in road noise for a quieter ride; and
* 6% less raw materials used in production for a greener tire.
