Pirelli’s initiative brings the excitement the brand represents in motorsport to padel, a sport that has gained significant momentum in the UAE. 

Throughout the coming tournaments, Pirelli will be hosting several activities to remind people about their tyre safety during extreme weather.Pirelli will provide a T-scan at the tournament venues, offering fans a complimentary tyre check with a full status report, whilst explaining the importance of a T-scan. The T-scan features laser technology that generates an electronic report on the status of the tyres. The report shows customers the condition of the car’s tyres along with the braking distance with the T-scan including a swift tread depth scanner, alignment diagnostics and ability to measure over 600 points across the tyre with precision. Pirelli is the only brand in the UAE to use this state-of-the-art unique tool.
