I have been using rear-wheel drive for 10 years. And I will admit that for this type of cars it is the best tyre on the market for me. But only if you like to drive aggressively. I recommend other tyres for calm driving, but also necessarily the premium once. This tyre, its real character shows on demanding routes, during aggressive driving.

Pirelli SottoZero 3 bought in November 2013 and they have more than 15000 miles for sure. I am driving on British highways. The tread wear is minor and there is a lack of damage while driving on some holes on the streets. The wet grip is perfect and the tyres have great performances in various conditions and on various surfaces. There was also funny situation when other drivers couldn't drive up the slope, while I did it with ease.

During one month I compared and checked the Goodyer UG8 (very good tyres, surprise) and Dunlop winter 4D, on which I traveled almost 2 years. Pirelli is a revelation compared to them, I did not think that there could be such a difference. With a 211 hp engine, these tyres give the possibility to move on snow without any combination. The tyres are nominally louder and in practice have a different rolling sound, but not quite louder. Really the best car tyres for me, tyres with more power.

In the size 245/40R19 the run flat version is available only in 2 winter tyre models on the market. Falken HS 449 and Pirelli Sotozero 3 (there is also the older version of the second model). The first season I had Falkens (because at the time of picking up the car only those were available), and now I had to buy new tyres, because the Falkenes cracked from the inside (small cracks in all 4 tyres through which the air slowly escaped - shock !!!). After mounting the Pirelli tyres the difference is colossal on the plus. Incomparably quieter, great in all conditions. I recommend them to everyone who can afford them :-)

At first glance, you can see that the tyres are high quality which was also noticed by the mechanic who installed them. If someone wants to experience how much difference in grip the winter tyres can give, then I recommend these ones. The wet and dry road are indistinguishable, the snow blot is slightly noticeable. Driving on the broken snow is just a bit worse, you can feel that the tyres are working. The worst performance is on the clayey blotter – the tyres deal with it, but the difference compared to summer tyres is minimal. The main defect of the tyres is their volume. I must admit that I did not appreciate how loud the tyres can be. In addition to the classic noise, which is noticeably more intense, there is also an additional, much higher sound, which I can only describe as a strong wind that is comparable to a swist.

I was thinking for a long time before buying tyres for the winter, I chose these and I do not regret it. I was a little scared to buy lover quality tyres for a heavy car with a rear drive. It is true that there was no winter this year, but when it snowed, I especially traveled on unpaved roads, and I did not bury in even once, and I drove into more and more difficult corners. I am pleased with them. You know, you can fall into the back drive, but only when you want it. In the case of a quiet ride, nothing can happen. I had to turn off the ESP for turning back under the house because I could not throw my back and turn around 180 degrees on these tyres :) The tread looks like new, despite the fact that it was used mainly asphalted roads because the winter was weak. I see that I’m good good for a next few years. When I will be choosing summer tyres, for sure I’ll choose Pirelli. I recommend it to all :)

I recommend this tire. I put it to 390 horsepower Subaru Sti. I had the opportunity of testing them in any condition. Snow perfectly keeps track driving and drain slush .When also keeps perfectly dry. I highly recommend it. Previously I had Nokian wr! For this tire does not approach!

I bought the Pirelli SottoZero 3 tyres recently, but I can already confirm that they are really fantastic! I have BMW with 218hp engine and the tyres were tested with "H" speed index which have limit up to 130mph. I wanted to test their survivability and noise, so I speeded up to 149mph and they have passed this test. The noise - tyres are quiet, great performance. Grip - yet I didn't have the situation in which I could check the full grip, but the dynamic drive is not a problem for these tyres. These are the best winter tyres I have ever had. If it comes to the survivability, I have them for a short period of time to say something about it, but I certainly let you know when I make more miles. The price is excellent. Just to praise Oponeo, I would like to underline the great service and the time of delivery.
