Review on Pirelli Ice Zero FR 255/45 R20 105H winter by Jnis Kalni ᠌
A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.
Benefits for me: 1. asphalt, especially wet asphalt. It's ideal, and the silence is calming. When breaking on wet pavement, the spikes are a long way off. Second, unlike spikes, you can wait a little longer before swapping out your tires and shoes. There is still asphalt and no snow, but the morning and nightly lows are already hovering around five degrees Celsius. Spike, I generally regret putting (daytime heat makes it more likely that some of the spikes will fall out). Third, I never had to get used to studding, and in some situations, my driving really improved. Fourth, rows in snow or compacted snow are superior to spikes. 5. The tread cleans itself fast, even at speeds of 10-15 km/h. 6. Quiet Seven, potholes made on soft frozen ground are quieter.
- The road surface is dry and quiet, holding its shape well during braking, and providing great visibility. The asphalt is damp, but it drains water well, puddles can be driven through without issue, and stopping distances are unaffected. Whether it's packed snow or loose snow, it rows steadily and makes landing a car nearly impossible. I don't even slow down as I rebuild from track to track. She is most at ease while navigating snow that has been rolled to remove any ice, just as how one would confidently navigate asphalt. There is zero uncertainty and no desire to slow down under any of these circumstances.
- Pure ice — leaving from there requires caution and tightness lest the slide not go, but also means you won't be able to swerve from side to side. When shifting to a higher gear, the clutch engages practically instantly, resulting in very good acceleration. Emergency or not, stopping on ice is as useful as stopping on spikes. Carefully apply the brakes 2-3 times, making sure the wheels don't lock up, and then, as soon as the ABS kicks in, release the brakes and press them again if you need to stop rapidly. The situation is unchanged if the snow is rolled into a skating rink. On ice, it loses to spikes, but only if you get a good start and hit the brakes hard. After a week or so, I stopped noticing it at all.
