Pirelli SottoZero Serie 3 - User reviews

I have fitted Pirelli SottoZero 3 255/45R19 tyres in winter 2014. Until March I have made 8000 miles and I am really satisfied with them. There were no problems with balancing and I do not feel any vibrations while using them. The wet grip is also fantastic. It is hard to assess performance on snow and ice, because 2014/2015 winter was really nice for drivers. The car drives perfectly and there is no need to correct the the way of driving in turns. The ABS was activated only once.

On roads ghiacchiate (-20 °) and dry (up ca + 10 °) I found a good grip on asphalto. On wet or fresh snowfall I had some problems in the sense that under braking I felt the rubber skating One moment. But QMC convinced me and in fact I've already ordered Pirelli summer tires.

Keeps on the road like glued, it's hard to put the car into a slip, works on any type of surface, very good performance, the big advantage is the rim protector, I am very happy that I've decided to spend a bit more money and bought Pirelli. The difference compared to other tyres is huge. I honestly recommend them to all. It is worth spending a little more for safety and comfort during driving.

The best winter tire that will test both when driving fast on the highway and the highway when the snow falls and road builders do not drive. Tested on any surface ice, snow, dry, wet, drifts, ramps up the hill. Diplomatically - very properly!

As a user of SottoZero Series I can say that Pirelli SottoZero 3 is a worthy successor od SottoZero 2. It's performance on the snow and ice is perfect! This year winter was short, but it was full of different atmospheric conditions from ice and wet snow to mud. In every condition Pirelli passed the test, but is it something new for the user of Sotto Zero series? Of course not. The new Sotto Zero 3 is way better than Sotto Zero 2, so this explains everything. Sotto Zero 2 was way better than other tyres, so just check yourself what Sotto Zero 3 is capable of.
