Pirelli Sottozero II 275/35 R20 102 V Run on flat XL, *

I have chosen the Pirelli SottoZero 2 after reading a few reviews. After doing five thousand miles I would like to recommend the tyres to everybody. First of all, they are very quiet. Secondly, they provide an astonishing grip in both dry and wet conditions. In the past I've had an opportunity to drive a car in snow with these tyres mounted and I was really surprised how good the handling was. Now I have the SottoZero 2 tyres in my car. According to the on-board computer my car uses about 0,5l more when compared with summer tyres but I think it's more connected with a low temperature issue. I will not rate the durability until I make some higher mileage. All in all, the tyres look good and I recommend them to everybody 'coz I think these are one of the best tyres in this price range.

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. Read more Collapse

Very good grip on fast bends. Car is glued to the road. Slighly louder than summer tyres (Pirelli P7) but this doesn't seem to bother me that much. I have given them a 'three' on snow because there was absolutely no snow for me to test them on - I simply don't know what their performance would be. I did not asses tyre appearance because this is completely irrelevant property of a tyre in my opinion. They need to be good and safe (which they are) and not neccessarily good looking:) Read more Collapse

These are very expensive, but, hopefully in time they will pay for themselves, both in performance & longevity. So far these Tyres have been Great. Unfortunately, I cannot rate the performance in Snow & Ice because this year we had no extreme conditions to test them on.I do, however, have every confidence they will perform well when called upon!!

I have found this tyre to be a good all rounder, both in snow and in summer conditions. However having two side wall blow outs last year (resons not known yet but possibly due to poy holes! - i am accessing them for a further season this winter as they were so good in the snow. Hope this helps Regards Alan Read more Collapse
