Tyre reviews Pirelli Winter Ice Zero Friction. Page 44 1538

Due to the warm winter, I didn't have the opportunity to fully evaluate these tires. But one thing I understood - I will never buy winter Pirelli tires again.

In two months, I got four punctures (as many as in the previous two full years with this car). One of them was a shoulder damage due to tight contact with the curb (although I always park in the same place and never had such damage on other wheels). And the other day, one tire was pierced when I hit a small pothole at a speed of about 20 km/h, although the pressure was normal (I have pressure sensors), and the tire had to be thrown away. And these are tires with reinforced sidewalls and the Extra Load marking? No other tire has ever behaved like this! Even Continental, which is known for its soft sidewalls.

The extended "warranty" from Pirelli deserves special mention. The tires were purchased from an official dealer and installed on the rims by them. The warranty registration was done on the Pirelli website, and I received a notification about the activation of the extended warranty. I repaired all the punctures at my own expense without contacting the warranty service (I simply forgot about it), and when I tried to use the warranty, I encountered an unpleasant surprise. First, when I contacted the dealer, they only took copies of all documents and registered the application. And then they wait for approval from Pirelli, and nobody can say how long it will take. I had to leave the damaged wheel at the tire center, and only after a day, when I called them myself, they told me that the warranty was denied because I paid for the purchase through a marketplace. And now I have to waste time again and go pick up the wheel. In general, it's a fiction - not an "extended warranty". The warranty conditions themselves have so many points that the warranty does not work, that it's possible to refuse almost any claim.

I do not recommend this seller!!!
