The tire tested on the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S (W212) 585KM. I drove mostly in the mountains in the Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland. It works really well, but the only caveat is the fact that sometimes it was hard to move the stop on the tarmac of a large snow-covered slope at an altitude of about 2800 meters above sea level

I bought these tyres basing the reviews and I was not disappointed with the purchase. I am delighted. I don't drive a lot (about 25 thousand miles a year) but so far these are the best winter tyres I've been using.Previously, I had Fuldas (total failure), Michelins, Goodyears, but Pirelli SottoZero turned out to be a bullseye. I don't assess the look of the tyres because it's not rather important (at least for me) but it's about how they behave in winter conditions. I drive a mixed route every day (a bit of city driving, a bit of route and a bit of terrain driving), and so far I had no problems. They are excellent on snow. I definitely recommend.

If someone does not mind the noise would definitely recommend - especially on snow and slush.

I decided to write a review of Pirelli SottoZero, because I was looking for them before the purchase and noticed there aren't many reviews. I managed to do quite a distance on them, even when the roads were covered in snow. The tire behaves very well on snow and in mud. The car is stable and does not slip when starting. I recommend, especially that in my opinion they have a decent price.

I fell in love with these tyres the day I bought them. So far, I have used various winter tyres fom many well-known companies but I won't be offending them... however maybe I should. Pirelli SottoZero are great both on snow and slush and in other conditions, however I recommend them only to people who have powerful and fast cars and at the same time they like to use their power, because the tyres have one quite strange feature - the faster and more aggressive you go, the better they behave; the more you seem to risk, the more they stick to the road - for me, it's sensational. But if someone drives slowly and carefully in winter, it's better they bought something cheaper.

Generally speaking, I'm satisfied with the purchase of Pirelli SottoZero tyres. Assessments of behaviour on ice, rolling resistance and driving comfort are very subjective. In comparison with the tyres I previously used on other cars (Debica Frigo and Kleber Winter) I noticed a significant improvement in driving on water and snow - that is what I expected. After two seasons and about 11 000 miles driven I didn't notice any excessive wear, I think it will be safe to do another 16 - 18 thousand miles. I won't buy them again - but only because they'll get replaced with a newer model.
