Identify this tyre from the tread pattern alone...

[Dr G]

OK brains of Pistonheads, for reasons that are entirely boring I need to know what tyre this is!

I have the photos below, it's a winter tyre of some sort, and it's probably a 235 40 19:





It looks a bit like a Continental or Pirelli, in that it has narrow shoulder bands, and one wide/one slim inner band... but it's not quite the same.

Anyone recognise it or have better Google-fu than I do?

Maybe Pirelli Winter Sottozero 240?

That's what I was thinking when I saw the pic. Had a set of those on my E-class a few years ago - certainly very similar.

I initially thought the same, and at a glance they're very similar but the shapes cut into the tread are all a little different.

It could however be a budget-brand "inspired" by the Pirelli I suppose...

Think their full name is perhaps X-Grip 4S.
