Tyre reviews Pirelli Winter Snowcontrol III 8

Before all the crises and "events", there was one major argument in favor of purchasing - around 2000r per unit (for our fleets, we take/test the best: Good, Mich, Nokian, Conti, Yoko, Dunlop, Bridg). The price would make you overlook the imbalance of all qualities. And everything would be OK...

The braking and maneuvers on wet roads would be more confident, and at high speeds, you'd understeer... The angles are polished from the factory: weak lateral lamellas work their part, but don't forgive carelessness on ice/slope/potholes, and during acceleration, they can scrub, in a turn and when starting, there's a sharp moment of slipping/spinning + it's very hard to get traction with counter-emergency actions. On snow, it's not a fountain either, the seemingly roomy tread pattern doesn't justify hopes in a snowbank and "mush" (all our cars are 4WD). Wear is noticeable (a direct feature of Pirelli): 10-15% more on the edge in favor of handling)) and so that you'd run to buy new ones sooner, the sidewalls are NOT hard and tend to sag a bit.

They're noisy in their price category, as if they came out 10 years earlier than competitors, and don't save fuel (don't drive far without gas). High-quality medium-hard material: as an indicator, they don't become rigid at -25°C)) due to which there's dense effort (informative on the wheel), during normal driving for 8-10 years, there are no cracks (just store them correctly). They're well-made (out of 300 tires, not a single defective one). In our region, we have medium-bad roads: in general, out of 100 tires, 2-3 get bulges, approximately 65> km/h withstand punctures (normal for Europe and little for Russian roads, and the softness of the cord doesn't provide comfort in return).

**In winter, take a narrower width (when driving on frequent ice/slope - take narrow ones) for pressure on the road and piercing through a snowbank (but not narrower than the disk). Reviews - from jeeps/sedans/vans... and opinions clearly differ (weight, suspension, region, wear, skills all have their own impact) - read about cars similar to yours

You can buy them, even used!!! but less than 40% wear (after that, they noticeably deteriorate)

Handles the road well, no complaints
