Tyre reviews Pirelli Winter Ice Zero 2. Page 2 331

I have been driving on Pirelli summer tires for several years, and I was curious to see how their winter tires would perform.

I was choosing between 8th and 9th generation tires from another manufacturer and Ice Zero 2. Overall, I am pleased with everything, there is no noise like in the first generation of these tires, it is noticeably quieter. They handle well, ABS and traction control rarely engage.

Now I have completely switched to Pirelli, I have been thrilled with the Cinturato P7 summer tires for four years, and I hope these won't disappoint me over time.

Tires have made it to the third season in good condition, with almost all studs in place and only a few empty sockets. Where the studs fell out, it did not damage the tread (I had a similar issue with other tires in the past). The rubber itself is very soft, which is perfectly fine for winter. In terms of stability, grip, and traction - they're just amazing! However, the downside, I think, is that after the third season they will need to be replaced

These tires for Siberia are great, even if they were developed by Italians. At -30 degrees they don't even notice it, no stiffness and no unsure behavior. The studs on the ice hold the car perfectly. Snow is not a problem either. If they also prove to be durable, then I have found the perfect tire for myself.

Prior to this, I had been using Gislaved NordFrost 100 (of the same size) for a long time and didn't feel a significant difference. Driving mode: Moscow and the region.

I'm satisfied with the tires, it's a worthwhile purchase. But there's a whole winter ahead, and I'll "take a look" at the condition of the studs in the spring.

Compared to Gislaved (which also had studs), Pirelli is much noisier, but it doesn't bother me. It's a good option for dynamic city driving, just don't forget to keep a distance - the braking distance has increased significantly... The tire is very soft, on dry roads when cornering at high speeds, you can feel (with the fifth point) that the car is slightly being pulled (dragged) by the tire itself.

On the highway, it goes smoothly, and after 110 km/h, the noise from the studs decreases significantly. Snowdrifts that form between the wheel tracks are handled well (Gislaved handled them better).

I bought the tires (205/55R16) in the summer of 2023 for 9700 rubles per wheel. If there's something better for that kind of money, I won't be too upset, since I'm satisfied with the purchase!

Soft, not very noisy. Considering that it's a studded tire and there are many studs, it can even be said to be quiet. Handling is excellent, regardless of the weather. It holds well on ice, and you hardly notice the snow. You can even drive calmly over ruts with porridge and change lanes. However, the speed mode and your own head also matter, after all, the tire is not magical.

On the go, it's quiet and soft, without humming and noise. The car on the road is stable, the behavior is fully predictable. For almost a season, I haven't lost a single stud, as far as I can notice. I'm satisfied with the tires.

Knowing that my car has problems with noise, I specially chose tires that are quieter based on reviews, reviews, and tests. I made the right choice with the selection. In addition to the quietness, the tires also have many other advantages. I've been driving smoothly since the end of September, everything is great. Comfortable, safe. The car is fully controllable, behaves stably, predictably. Braking at a short distance, grip, passability in snow and slush - everything is at its best.

Good tires, balancing during installation is normal. The first week, of course, they were very noisy, but now they've worn in and the hum has decreased significantly. On dry roads, braking and handling are, of course, not like summer tires, but I have something to compare them to - my previous Bridgestone Ice Cruiser would slip even on dry asphalt. On snowy inclines and small ice patches, they hold normally, sometimes it's better, but here the solid 4 is a fact.

The tires are super after the first winter, I'm very pleased. On my previous car, I had Michelin tires, all the studs came off after the first winter. Quiet

Excellent value for money. Holds confidently both longitudinally and transversely. Low noise.
