Tyre is considerably softer than summer one. Pretty low rolling resistance and rather queit for winter rubber. V speed rating doesnt restrict you on the autobahn, considered than snowfall is rather rare these days.

Overall a very nice tires but I would not recommend with such a low profile, the first major hole and ripped open the side of the tire. As for the rest very well they keep cool donuts :)

The tires are fine, you can develop high speeds on the motorway. The car holds the road well.

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.

Over five years, I have driven more than 31,000 miles on assessed tyres in various often extreme conditions. Last season was used both in summer at temperatures above 30 degrees and in winter. Thus, after the end of the exploitation cycle - 4mm tread - I can summarize these tyres reasonably. If you want to invest in comfort and safety, it will be a good choice. Precise traction is standard, moderate consumption as an advantage. I will buy them again.

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).

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...
