PIRELLI TIRES
Pirelli “Seal Inside” Technology
Select Pirelli tires incorporate “Seal Inside” technology, a construction
designed to stop the loss of air from a tire when punctured by an object.
Providing the puncture does not compromise the structural integrity of
the tire, a sealing material layer prevents possible air leakage in the event
of a carcass puncture.
The “Seal Inside ” technology is not designed or intended to be a
permanent repair, and is only
meant to allow the consumer to go to a
Pirelli dealer for an inspection to determine if repair or replacement is
needed.

in the size designation, including a ”Y” speed symbol in brackets.
Other Markings:
P-As part of the tire size designation (e.g., P205/65R15), is used to
indicate the tires intended for service on passenger cars.
LT -As part of the tire size designation (e.g. LT235/75R15), is used to
indicate the tires are intended for service on light truck vehicles.
M&S - Letters used to indicate a tire suitable for Mud and Snow and/or
All Season usage.
XL - As part of the size designation (e.g. P235/75R16 XL), is used to
indicate the tire can carry more load as the maximum inflation pressure
and load are greater than a standard load version. (Also could be called
REINFORCED).
