Pirelli SottoZero Serie 3 - User reviews

Translation

Good all round with winter tires - recommended by Subaru. Grips well on snow and ice (! Do not expect miracles), and still manages well when things heat up and dry - just what is needed in our changing British weather. As quiet and comfortable as summer tires supplied standard on the new car (Bridgestone Dueler).

Never had to test their ability in snow and slush because of another mild winter, but performed very well in cold, wet or dry. My car is running normally the rear wheels easily in cold / wet conditions when running on summer tires, but none of these issues with the Sotto Zero 3, only grip loads.

Since mounting these winter tires (November 2015), we had some snow, but when it did snow, the tires performed really well. Class C usually struggled even in the shallow snow with summer tires Dunlop but there was no problem with these Pirellis. It does not seem to be no compromise on performance or fuel economy, and there is no significant increase in tire noise. I would definitely buy again.

good tire lasts a little less than others, but the estate is well above average.

despite the lack of snow and slush (as it was) tires must be evaluated as good or very good recommendable.

Large tires for winter, much less aqua planing on the highway and fantastic in the snow. Oponeo great price too.

I do not know how the durability of these tires because of the need to use them currently in Italy (summer are in the garage in Poland), but the tires are very quiet and very well improve braking that use disk 230 horsepower is not without importance ...

Mounted Pirelli SottoZero Serie 3 in the size of 255/45/19 in 2014. In the beginning of winter in March 2015 I've had almost 10,000 miles covered and I am happy with these tyres. When mounting and balancing maximum weight that was used was 15 grams, I do not feel vibration or anything like that. With Dynamic acceleration (350 hp) I didn't experience any skidding on either dry or wet. It is difficult to assess the benefits of winter tires on snow and ice that winter 2014/2015 was exceptionally mild for drivers and therefore couldn't have had any real issues. The car handles very well, but it can also be the due to A8 D4 and air suspension, though, even in fast tight turns and fast is not necessary to expect to correct the track. Pirelli SottoZero Serie 3 are so good that you couldn't see the ABS being active.
