Tyre reviews Pirelli Winter Cinturato 2. Page 1 35

So far, the impressions are very good
1. Quiet!
2. Soft! Asphalt joints, tram rails, speed bumps, etc. are driven very smoothly
3. Braking - predictable and confident, ABS does not jerk
4. Steering - clear and distinct
5. Acceleration - no "assistants" kick in, the car moves stably.
6. Track (apparently what is meant by directional stability) - excellent. Does not wobble like it used to on studded tires.
7. In terms of weather conditions: wet asphalt, slush, reagents cut confidently.
8. I haven't driven on solid ice, but on light morning ice - it's fine. In any case, I don't plan to drive on ice, and with the presence of winter tires, it's enough. And how much ice is there anyway.
9. I've tentatively lowered the score for wear resistance. The tires are soft, and I drive quite energetically. I don't think the wear resistance will impress me. But we'll see.

Before that, I rode on Ice Zero FR, so I can compare them from memory. The behavior on rolled snow (and gruel with reagents) has improved, not so noticeably on ice, and on fresh snow, it's either slightly worse or roughly the same level. Wet road (re-shod very early) is not a problem, even in heavy rain; aquaplaning occurs at high speeds, predictable. On dry asphalt, it's like summer tires in terms of handling and speed. Moreover, it's the same at -10 and +15, but the Ice Zero was the same too. It's noisy, but not excessively, the stiffness is also medium, and regarding wear, I haven't noticed anything after 7-8 thousand kilometers, again, similar to the Ice Zero FR.

In general, I didn't notice any significant fundamental improvement, but there wasn't a big difference in price at the time of purchase either.

Not bad tires, I checked braking on ice, from 40km/h ABS rarely kicks in. A stable four based on personal assessments.

Good handling on dry, wet roads, and snow. City car operation. Given the mileage of several months, it's too early to assess the quality of manufacture. The wheels were balanced without any issues. When purchasing, pay attention to the year of manufacture. 1 out of 4 wheels was produced a year later.

Listen, it's okay. It comes out of loose snow. It rides on ice. But it's not super stable, can slide at low speed, on a curved road. It will do, in general. When braking sharply, the braking distance is large, it's better not to rush in the city.

Good winter low-profile tires. Just right for driving in St. Petersburg
