Pirelli SottoZero Serie 3 - User reviews

Sort:
Matt
4.1
Very impressed with the Sottozero 3, having used Nokian and Verdestein winters I was a little wary of moving to pirelli but these were a great price and had good reviews. Wasn't sure how effective they would be on a 245 18 as my previous vehicles have had a far narrower 16 inch wheel. Got caught out on a very steep hill after a heavy snow shower one evening. The tyre bit through and would only slip on excessive throttle. No other 2WD vehicles made it up the hill. Very quiet on the motorway and no noticeable difference with the MPG. Excellent in the dry, had better in the wet but certainly no real issues. Would highly recommend if you can get them at the right price. Can't comment on wear yet but certainly doesn't seem excessive.

The tyres proved themselves in mountains, full of rain and snow. In combination with the 4x4 drive, they give the user confidence and comfort in difficult weather conditions. You can only complain on slightly higher fuel consumption, but after all - something for something...

Good tyres in usage, a bit noisy compared to previously used other models (even the same brand), but in a car other than this one. Good performance of all funds. Excellent performance on snow, accentuated by four-wheel drive in the car. I can not assess the consumption yet, because I used them the first winter and I still walked a few miles.

The "good" rating awarded in the "snow and slush" category is caused solely by the lack of sufficient driving opportunities under the aforementioned conditions (no option - I do not judge). Particularly noteworthy is the low noise emission while driving (even with speeds in the range of 87- 100 mph) + an interesting tread design (category 4 in rating of tyres).

Had to replace 1 tyre due to driving over a pothole which resulted in bulge in tyre wall. More to do with state of Scottish roads than failure of the tyre. Overall pleased with tyre, big improvement of Sottozerro 2 in terms of grip in wet and snow conditions.

I evaluated the grip on snow and slush on the basis of experiences of others as this winter I have not had occasion to use them in the snow. For the rest I am very satisfied.

solid product, a total of winter again with a small amount of snow so I do not think the tires have a chance to show what they can afford. assuming that next winter will be similar entirely possible to buy some cheaper tires

I have a re-mapped high torque RWD Met that’s a nightmare in the snow without winter tyres. I have used winter tyres for years and always appreciated the benefit of not ending up in a ditch at the first sign of snow. Although these tyres have been out a couple of years they are still competitive both in price and performance. A winter tyre has limitations but really benefits a rear wheel drive car in the snow. I would recommend these tyres without hesitation.

I am of the opinion that this tire is a good choice for people who want to forget that they set up something on the wheels and just enjoy the ride, if it was only a little quieter, My car and I recommend this model, best regards.
