Tyre reviews Pirelli Winter Ice Zero. Page 95 2427

Excellent tires

All is well, but noisy.

On a slippery road at high speed, it handles quite well. When changing lanes on the highway from ice to snow or asphalt and back, it reliably holds the road surface. Tested at speeds of 160-180 km/h, it can go faster, but it's not recommended in winter. If you brake on ice, of course, the car will skid, but it's predictable. You need to keep a safe distance. In the city, it's dangerous near crosswalks and speed bumps, even at low speeds it can skid several meters. It doesn't feel like something is dead and gripping the ice, of course not. On dry and wet asphalt, it brakes well, the studs are all in place. There's almost no noise or howling at different speeds. I've hit several potholes, no damage, the tire is quite durable, 45th profile, and overall, it's soft and comfortable. The vehicle is all-wheel drive. Rating 4.5 out of 5.

Good tires, but noisy.

Replaced summer with winter. When driving, it feels like the hub bearings are broken to ZERO. Although the car's muffler is good, the hum is like that of a TU95. Not recommended.

Deserving!!

The tire is sturdy, the grip is good, it handles snow quite well, and it's predictable on ice.
The only downside is that they are noisy.

The tires have not been tested yet, I'm waiting for winter, but they look decent at first glance.

Holds the road very well on both snowy and icy surfaces

205/55/16. I bought them as a replacement for the 7th Hakkapeliitta and realized that I need to drive more carefully in the winter... Having gotten used to Hakkas, I discovered new and not entirely pleasant features:
- On the M11, there was a strong snowfall, with several centimeters of snow between the lanes. Where the Hakkapeliitta would drive as if on asphalt, the car noticeably slowed down on the side that hit the snow. At the same time, the stabilization system did not engage.
- Already in the spring, on relatively thin freshly fallen snow, the car almost skidded where I had driven on Hakkas for years, even at higher speeds and in more severe conditions.

But overall, the tires are good:
- In very difficult weather on the M11 at speeds of 90-110, they worked reliably and predictably
- No significant wear is noticeable after the first season
- In terms of noise, they are probably even slightly quieter than Hakkas
I'm generally satisfied with the purchase, but, alas, I don't have the same confidence that I had with Finnish tires - they were practically like summer driving on asphalt on snow/ice.
