Review on Pirelli Ice Zero FR 205/55 R16 94T winter by Stanislaw Wysocki ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

Pros for me: 1. Asphalt, both dry and rainy versions. It was excellent and quite peaceful. When braking on wet pavement, the spikes appear to be a considerable distance away. 2. When compared to spikes, you can change your tires a little bit earlier and your shoes a little bit later. Although there is still asphalt and there is no snow at this time, the air temperature is already around five degrees higher in the morning and in the evening. Spike, normally I was unhappy to put it (it's warm throughout the day, and the likelihood of losing some of the spikes is higher), but in this case it was necessary. 3. I didn't have to get used to driving with studded tires, and in some situations, I even felt more confident behind the wheel. 4. Rows in snow and packed snow are superior to spikes in snow conditions. 5. The tread cleans itself fast and efficiently, even at speeds as low as 10-15 km/h. 6. Quiet 7. Frozen and softened potholes have a lower noise level.

Pros
  • The asphalt is dry and silent, and it grips the road quite well; there are no obstructions while one is trying to brake. The road is moist, but it drains water nicely, so you can drive around puddles without any issues, and you won't have any trouble stopping. Snow porridge or loose snow - it rows smoothly, but it is nearly hard to land the automobile on the snow. I don't even slow down when I move from one track to the next as I'm rebuilding. Rolling snow without ice - this is her element, and she comfortably navigates it without any demolitions, just like on asphalt. Under none of these circumstances is there any sense of unease or a longing to take things at a more leisurely pace.
Cons
  • Pure ice is a surface on which one must proceed with extreme caution and a firm grip lest the slide not only fail to occur but also prevent the vehicle from being driven in any direction. If you shift up to a higher gear, the clutch will engage practically instantly, and you'll have fantastic acceleration as a result. Stopping on ice, if not in an emergency, then in a practical sense, in addition to stopping on spikes. If you need to come to a halt rapidly, you should do it with caution by pushing the brake pedal two or three times, ensuring that the wheels do not come to a stop, and then releasing the pedal at the precise moment that the anti-lock braking system is engaged before pressing it once again. The same behavior is observed even if the snow is rolled into the condition of a skating rink. Spikes on ice cause it to lose some ground, but only if the driver gets a strong start and brakes aggressively. After a few days of being exposed to it, I became accustomed to it and eventually stopped noticing it.
