I replaced it with Continental Conti4x4IceContact. Normal tire for such money. 10 out of 10 in terms of price-quality ratio. Everyone writes about its noise, but I didn't notice a significant difference. Winter tires are always noisy. Maybe it's just the cars they're installed on have poor soundproofing.

It's been very quiet after 2000 km of acoustic comfort, but not to a good standard. I haven't seen any snow yet.
It's holding the road well, with no squealing or understeering.
It's very soft after the RunFlat. On asphalt due to the large tread protrusion, it starts to slide in corners and when braking, but this is only if you're going too fast. In general, the tyre is good on the hard F

I purchased Pirelli Winter Ice Zero 185/70 R14 88T (studded) tyres online on 10.11.15 and visited a tyre centre for fitting, but was disappointed when the wheels were balanced. Although the rims had been checked beforehand, there were huge discrepancies: the unbalance readings for the wheels were 20*15 (normal), 30*125, 25*65, and 20*80. The technicians in the garage tried various methods to

Prior to this, I had Yokohama IG35 205/60 R16. Compared to it, this one has better traction and as a result, acceleration, and it holds the road well. However, during aggressive turns, the rear end tends to swing out (a characteristic of all Pirelli tires), so it's best to start driving cautiously and then gradually test the limits to know what to expect from the tire (in principle, this is true for any tire). It's very

The tire handles the road well, the studs on it didn't come off even after two seasons. I'm buying this tire for the second time because I know it won't let me down, and the stud on this tire is not ordinary. It's silent, I have a summer tire Yokohama that's noisier than this winter tire. I recommend Pirelli.

Excellent tires, both in appearance and in characteristics! It snowed and there was black ice, but the tires showed themselves in good light in any conditions on my Range Rover. Good price-quality ratio. On the asphalt, there was a hum, on the snow, silence.

I won't be able to comment on how it handles on ice, as there's no snow yet, with atmospheric temperature ranging from 0 to +3°C. However, everyone here is saying that the major drawback of this tire is the noise level, which I consider to be a minor issue. In my opinion, the main and significant drawback is that the studs are extremely brittle and prone to cracking. Yesterday, after getting my tires mounted, I drove about 50 km at a maximum speed of

I survived the winter like it was summer, the tire is simply super, at first they were really squealing, I was even disappointed, but then the noise went away. The winter on Altai was very snowy, I checked the tires in all weather conditions, I intentionally skidded on turns on the snowy mash and on the ice as well. There is almost no wear, the studs haven't even popped out properly, everything is in place, although I didn't drive on the asphalt for

Very noisy tyres
Loses all its studs completely upon first contact with asphalt after winter
Bought two additional wheels in winter; by spring, already 5–10 percent of the studs are missing
Since 2019, I've been using only these tyres in winter
