Tyre reviews Pirelli Scorpion Ice Zero 2. Page 12 719

Went on them without running-in for a long distance, because of this the studs on the front wheels flew out quite a bit. Holds the road perfectly at a speed of 150-180 without any complaints. Snow, slush are not a problem. Braking and starting on ice are wonderful. In general, the first winter passed at the winter resort, no inconvenience was experienced.

Pirelli Scorpion Ice Zero 2 255/50 R20 109H XL (studded) tires were purchased in the summer of 2024 for 23,960 rubles per unit. The mileage as of the end of March 2025 is 9,000 km. The tires hold well on cleared asphalt, and they are not bad on ice, but require effort. The noise level is on par with Continental (which I used before Pirelli). However, over the winter, I had to visit a tire shop for repairs three times. With Continental, I drove for 5 seasons, and over that time, I had 4 punctures, two of which were on the front right wheel, whereas with these tires, I had 3 punctures in one season, and the last one required a "mushroom" plug. Maybe it's just bad luck, but it's very frustrating. Overall, I give these tires a "three" rating, evaluating them in comparison to Continental.

TOP for its price, Drove a car from Yekaterinburg to Krasnoyarsk. Did not fail, confidence and predictability.

This review is not about the fact that the tires are bad, but about the fact that for this particular car, there are its own nuances, namely...
Operating conditions: from 0 to -20, snow is rare but a lot, roads are not cleaned, chemicals are not used, only sand and gravel.
Of the minuses.
On my SRT, the tires behave not very well
1) when entering a turn at a speed of 160, there is a lack of confidence, a feeling of slight slipping, and if you add braking, the feeling of rear wheels skidding becomes obvious.
2) braking on dry winter asphalt with a small patch of frozen water.
Be prepared immediately that the car will slide further with the feeling that I'm on studs, not on spikes. (If at least one wheel is on clean asphalt, it's okay, but with two wheels on ice or compacted snow, the car will slide further even at a speed of 20 km/h, so you drive around the yard like a turtle to have time to brake).
3) Noise in the area of the rear wheels.
Of the pluses.
On clean winter asphalt, straight acceleration and braking are ideal. If you use the rule "one wheel must be on clean asphalt", you can safely jump over bumps from uncleared roads.
But with all this, if you keep it in mind, you can safely buy these tires. There is an assumption that this is due to the specificity of the car, namely a heavy front and a light rear.
In this price category, you won't find ANYTHING, and the closest competitor is Michelin, but there the price is over 45k for one tire.
P.S. In defense of these tires, I want to add that there is experience of operating on a Hyundai Palisade 3.5, and there are no such problems, neither with noise nor with turns. We drove the car from Yekaterinburg to Krasnoyarsk, sometimes +1, everything melts, Novosibirsk -20, just go like on rails.

Good day, I haven't driven for a month and a half, two tires started to deflate through the studs, the tire inside is all cracked as if I had been driving on deflated tires. The pressure in front was 2.6, rear 2.9. We sent them to the factory in Voronezh, the factory replied that it's not a factory defect, can't help. I don't advise anyone to buy this brand, it's better to buy 3 sets of Chinese tires for this money.

Excellent seller. I recommend.
