At temperatures of +6-8 and above, it feels slightly unsteady. During the break-in period (again at above-zero temperatures and on asphalt), there is some noise. But it should be noted that at such temperatures, it's not very comfortable to drive on summer tires either. You could say it's the threshold between summer and winter when any tires might not feel quite comfortable. As soon as the temperature stabilized below zero, the tires performed at their best. The weather in the Urals is not always predictable, and there can be severe ice in the morning. Despite this, I feel confident on the road. The car starts off normally, doesn't skid during maneuvers, and brakes excellently. On slush, it behaves predictably, with minimal slipping and excellent braking. When driving on a straight path, it holds the trajectory well, and there's no need for constant steering adjustments. During lane changes and turns, you drive where you need to go without the car sliding. Perfectly suited for winter in harsh climates. Some appear in warm weather (I'll write below).

The only (and hopefully the last) drawback of these tires manifested in the first days of use. During the day, the temperature was still above freezing, but at night it was around zero. In general, it's already too cold for summer tires, but not cold enough for winter studded tires. In fact, at positive temperatures, these tires seemed too soft, which was felt as a slight waddling when driving. However, this was actually beneficial since one has to drive more carefully during the break-in period of the studs anyway. But as the cold set in and the tires broke in, all the best qualities emerged - reliable grip, excellent handling, and adequate braking performance. Overall, a very worthy option for a cold winter. It handles snow and ice excellently. Ideal for our winter Only at positive temperatures (+5/7 degrees) - a bit too soft for such weather use Pirelli Ice Zero 205/55 R16 94T few months |
Perhaps the best studded tires I've had the chance to use. They perform well both on ice and slushy snow, as usually there is often a compromise in performance in one of these conditions, but not with these. They do have a slight fear of ruts, but it's not critical. However, they bite into the ice during braking and also accelerate the car well on any slippery surface. The studs are firmly in place and not a single one came off during the winter. Advantages: excellent acceleration and braking, retain the studs. stable on ice and snow, durable spikes not disappointed Oleg Gorelov: use Pirelli Ice Zero 205/55 R16 94T few months |
The norms of the Scandinavian countries, where they know firsthand about the harsh winters, present strict requirements for studded tyres. In particular, the number of spikes per linear metre of a tyre is regulated (less than 50 pcs). However, the "temperamental Italian" managed to get around these restrictions through the use of patented double trapezoidal studs.
Double efficiency
The use of double studs provides improved grip on slippery surfaces. When accelerating the car on ice, the spike bites into the roadway with sharp multidirectional edges, and when braking, it clings to the ice with the common plane of the carbide insert. In terms of its effectiveness, the branded “claw” is equal to two spikes of a conventional design.
Predictable behavior
The directional tread pattern of the tyre with a strong central part is striated with numerous sipes that help ensure predictable behavior of the tyre on snow. During testing, the Pirelli Ice Zero scores highly in the disciplines of anti-hydroplaning, braking on dry pavement and handling on ice.
Increased tenacity
Unfortunately, it was not possible to do without the minuses of the tyre. Due to the peculiarities of the tread pattern, it turned out to be noisy when moving on asphalt, and there is also increased rolling resistance, which does not have the best effect on fuel consumption. But the tenacity of rubber for winter roads deserves the highest praise, so the negative aspects of the model seem completely insignificant against the background of its driving performance.
