Great tyres. I have a Japanese car and was afraid that only Japanese tyres will be suitable for it in terms of driving sensations and comfort. However, the Pirelli Sottozero 2 tyres turned out to be tremendous. Italians manufactured the tyres that encourage to drive more aggressively in slippery, slushy and snowy road conditions. What's more, these tyres give you a possibility to drive really fast in corners. I'm pretty sure that if I used them on dry asphalt, the handling would be perfect as well. The rubber compound is quite hard but it seems that the tyres are rather hard wearing. If you do approximately 6,000-7,000 miles per winter season, the tyres should preserve their full performance for even five seasons. They are not too loud. Most probably I will go for these tyres again.

Tyre remarkable! Behaves very well in the snow and even ice! When starting on ice or straight wheels lost traction. Well kept cornering hard fall with her slip. In addition, absorbs well and is quiet! I did not believe that the difference between expensive and cheaper tyre can be as big! Driving on these tyres is simply sensational.

Highly recommend these tyres, excellent quality brand, bought these to match a set for the rear which are 245/35/18 which here in England is the only tyre available in winter tread, pirrelli seem to be the only manufacturer making them, but I suspect the rest of Europe get a better choice.

I definitely recommend, drive a lot and appreciate safety and comfort. The tires are very quiet and, above all, they perfectly hold the road at highway speeds.

Jaguar XF 3.0 D 275 HP 245/45/18 This is an excellent winter tire situation, only ice is choking although it is much better than the summer. The problem is that the tire is "pure Winter" is that once this starts to look up the temperature and lose benefits, both in dry and wet conditions. For low of 7 ° C to 10-12 ° C are great and notes that are not so good when you get close to 20 lose a lot. So it is an inconvenience to those who live in temperate zones and we use the tires to go skiing or when we travel inside in colder areas, because in my place of residence 15 ° C are exceeded quite often during winter . However in less than 7 ° C are buenísmas. Rain 3 ° step on you in the middle of a curve and the car notes as sticks. In wet than their sisters Pzero unceremoniously. Dry subzero also have a really good performance and for those who do not normally drive in snow noted as tours, you brake and the car goes perfectly for your site gives a lot of confidence. The grip on newly fallen snow is also excellent. However it should not be trusted because in hard snow and especially in very hard snow or ice quickly lost capacity and you can spend an excellent grip as you go by loose snow to notice how you lose adherence to happen suddenly in those areas of hard snow or very lasts, the harder is the worse the behavior, that if much better than the summer. The length of time and will carry almost 20,000 well still has at least 10,000 km plus approx. They are comfortable and silent thing that worried me on wheels winter when I bought and I very pleasantly surprised. For all described or recommend purchase

The tire has definitely met my expectations, even at higher speeds or more aggressive maneuvers gives you the confidence to drive in winter conditions. When braking or accelerating, very good contact with the surface is predictable and gives a sense of security.

Hi everyone, I have decided to add some review since before I purchased the tyres I had read a lot about them on this website. Generally speaking, the Sotozero II tyres are very good. I got a quite powerful car (3.0l V6 300 horsepower) and I can say that these tyres give you a feeling of solid grip and safety in all weather conditions. They are really good in snow even though I have a front wheel drive and strong engine in my vehicle. It is a truly pleasure to drive a car on these tyres, especially on a motorway. I have crossed the whole Europe on these tyres driving really fast (sometimes faster than 125mph/h) and they have been doing well on a wet surface. What surprised me is how they look. The tread pattern is interesting - it looks a bit like a summer one but it has a lot of sipes, which are kind of straight, not the zigzag ones. I would like to recommed these tyres to everyone who drives fast. I am checking the tyres for wear regularly (at least once a month, usually after long trips) and I am fully satisfied with their quality.
