As for winter tyres, very good deal on dry and wet roads. Grip in fast corners crossed by fine. The snow correctly, but without the special revelation. Effective braking, cornering worse.

Tyres very good, but they have one disadvantage is terribly loud. However, the problem of balancing to zero, no beatings, etc. I would recommend but if someone does not like the noise picked something else such as Nokia

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.

I use these tyres for 3 years. Driveability revelation. Someone wrote that loud - in my size very quiet. The disadvantage is that there is very little resistance to penetration - the season two tyres out (bulging). The second thing is ścieralość. tyres consume very quickly but all good tyres so they have. In summary, a very good tyre but for people with a thicker wallet :) :) :)

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.

I will not elaborate too much. Tyre very pretty, yet functional. Great deal on dry (in contrast to tesrtu ADAC, who let us live), and the snow and slush is a real revelation. I did not feel any rupture grip or slip. If the car is quite awkward to the ground, and drove less frequented rural roads completely buried in fresh snow. So people, do not hesitate over the choice of tyres for the winter. Pirelli Sottozero 2 is a really high quality product.

For this price is not worth it, as if winter tires yet WEAKNESSES sizeable snow conditions. Failed me in the snow. Very good in the wet. Relatively loud and fairly fast it consumes. For better-faster cars better and cheaper to buy Nokia WR (or Conti, Michelin, Goodyear - but too expensive), the average driving better and cheaper Sava Eskimo S3. I also had Uniroyal 66 (average / good) and Continental and Goodyear UG7 (both great but expensive).
