Review on Pirelli Ice Zero FR 235/65 R17 108H winter by Stanislaw Sipko ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didn't expect the quality to be so high.

At the end of 2022, tires measuring 215/70 R16 were ordered for the Outlander XL, and the vehicle successfully completed the winter season. Before I got this Velcro, all of my vehicles had spikes, including the Hakka-2, NF-3, Hakka-5, and Nordman-4. This is my first time using Velcro. I am trying to get across the point that the tires are worthy since they perform admirably in challenging conditions such as heavy snow, where they do not dig in, as well as muck, rolled snow, and wet asphalt. On smooth ice, they act in a predictable manner, although it is obvious that they are not as effective as spikes: the speed must be reduced in proportion to the difference in stopping distance between spikes and Velcro)). Whoever writes about noise is either telling a lie or the rubber mixture they are using has a different composition. There is NO NOISE. On my tires, the noise doesn't start until I reach 140 kilometers per hour, and the actual rumble of the "helicopter" begins at that speed. I came to the conclusion that only friction tires should be used on 4WD vehicles, and that during periods of heavy ice, one should simply reduce their speed.

Pros
  • The tires are smooth and quiet, and they provide excellent driving qualities.
Cons
  • When traveling at speeds greater than 87 miles per hour, the "helicopter" sound can be heard.
