Tyre reviews Pirelli Winter Ice Zero 2. Page 4 331

Holds the road perfectly, both on the highway and on regional roads. Over 3 seasons and 60,000 miles, I lost 5 studs.
On asphalt, there is an additional hum, but I think it depends on the car (sound insulation). I took another set for my wife's car, MB a-class w177, and there is less noise.
The sidewall is quite strong, I bent two disks, but the tire withstood it, no bulges were found.
When installing on my wife's car, we had problems with balancing, on 17-inch wheels it went up to 80 grams per side. After a couple of thousand miles, we'll try to redo it.

I purchased the tires after buying a new car.
Using these tires is my second experience. Previously, the same ones were purchased for my wife's car. The tires fully meet expectations. At the time of writing the review, I have driven 6 seasons on them. In 2022, I had them retreaded.
The tires work perfectly in various winter road conditions.

Studs last for 10-15 thousand kilometers, then start to come out faster with each season. By the end of the third season, less than half of them remain. Very good at high speed - holds 0, especially on dry asphalt and rolled snow. Drifts on ice are smooth. Almost indifferent to camber. Handles poorly and brakes in snowy slush, especially if there is ice underneath. Excellent on deep clean snow, and on smooth ice, a new tire goes like on asphalt.

Has not let me down anywhere. Handles snow well. A bit noisy.

I'm pleased that they don't make noise, there's no humming at high speeds, in general they're quiet studded tires. Also, it's nice to note that after a season of fairly aggressive driving, not a single stud was lost, despite a lot of driving on bare asphalt. I'm satisfied with their behavior on the road. They perform wonderfully on both clean asphalt and on snow, slush, and ice.

Quiet, no noise at either 40 or 140 km/h. They hold the road perfectly and steer fully predictably and informatively. Moreover, regardless of weather conditions. Except that they are slightly less confident on a wet road, but here the question is more about speed.

Excellent quiet tires, moderately soft. On ice, they start like on dry asphalt, without problems. In snow, they grip like caterpillars. I'm satisfied with the tires for every penny. The choice was between Michelin X-Ice 4 and Pirelli Ice 2. I think the studs on Pirelli will be more durable. On the second car, Pirelli Ice 1 is installed, 6 years old, the mileage on the tires is about 40,000, all the studs are in place.

225/50 R18 99H. I've been driving them for the second winter. Excellent tires, great "grip". Where others polish the ice, I can easily and almost without slipping drive up steep hills. Many people ask if my car is four-wheel drive, and they're very surprised when they find out it's front-wheel drive! After the first winter, I lost only one stud. It's too early to talk about durability, but after 10,000 km, the wear is approximately 30%. I highly recommend them.

Excellent tires, possibly all-wheel drive. Braking characteristics 5+. Lateral skidding 5+. A bit noisy, studs are present, studs are noisy, no manufacturer can get rid of this.

The tires came as a gift with the purchase of the vehicle. And then the dealership hit the nail on the head with the gift exactly 100%. The tire is indeed excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised, as I had expected less from the complimentary tire. It behaves very well in the city and on the highway. It's quiet, soft, and driving is a pleasure. The car stands on the road like a pro, even on a poorly maintained road (snow, slush, black ice
