I have found this tyre to be a good all rounder, both in snow and in summer conditions. However having two side wall blow outs last year (resons not known yet but possibly due to poy holes! - i am accessing them for a further season this winter as they were so good in the snow. Hope this helps Regards Alan

I have changed my old winter tyres to the new Pirelli SottoZero II model in the size 205/55 R16. I live in a big city and even here I do encounter some problems with snow and slush in winter. However, the Pirelli SottoZero II tyres are defenitely different than cheap budget tyres I used to have. It's important not to drive too fast in bad weather conditions but having these tyres I feel safe even when I drive a bit faster than I should and I'm not afraid that my car will skid. All the roads outside urban areas are often unploughed and even there I have not noticed any problems - everytime my car drove exactly where I wanted. These are really good tyres available in a reasonable price taking into consideration the fact that the brand is premium.

Sottesero I bought three cars at the same time, after a year in two cars popped bubbles - tire dump, of course, the purchase of new the same this year - the same as for newly listed tire. Such stories had the same tire Pirelli Scorpion Ice & Snow used in the SUV. As for the years Pirelli has never been problems for winter tires - warn pop bubbles. Of course the complaint as a complaint "uskodzenie mechanical ..." - I'm a horse - did not help.

This hard winter tire test in conditions for which it was created. Nevertheless, in the city performs well, it has never been unpleasant situations and surprise. The limits of tire adhesion are well-distinguished (not what a cheap Chinese tires that you never know what to expect, especially in the wet) so that the car runs confident.

Tires good exercise on dry and wet surfaces. Not bad in the snow, a little worse on the ice, but the ice has its own rules. Summing up the tire uses 2 seasons and I'm happy with them. I would recommend.

Tires are good. Well keep in dry conditions, but when it rains heavily on the route can be a problem, after 110 km. os rear of the car starts to swim, but if you go by the rules eliminated the problem.

Great look, very good car behavior on dry and wet roads, the snow I have to wait then to utter. A little noisy but not annoying extent (as compared to summer Michelin Energy). Quite hard rubber, which should be stable even at high speeds, tested up to 140 km / h and was about as far recommendable tyre.

These tyres are amazing! It's noticable they are designed to actively react in the presence of wet asphalt and low temperatures. I have a feeling that the ADAC review is a bit underrated but it doesn't matter. My friends, who have been working in tyre business for many years, gave me advice on buying these tyres. I think that it's a good choice. The tyres are perfectly suitable for winter conditions such as snow and slush. The only drawback is the noise but it's rather typical of all winter tyres.
