Review on Pirelli Ice Zero FR 205/55 R16 94T winter by Franciszka Falkowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

I converted from spikes to Velcro a few years ago, but for this season I'm going back to using the same kind and manufacturer of Velcro that I used before. My joy knows no bounds and can't be contained! Prior to this, Yokohama had been exploited by rubber on spikes, and it is unclear what kind of torment this included. The vehicle was dragged and "used" like a cow on ice whenever the brakes were applied, and it made a lot of noise and was constantly flung out of the rut. I didn't give it much thought and naively believed that the diameter of the wheels (r16) was to blame for everything, thinking that it threw everyone off at 16x. And how astonished I was to hear that you had changed your shoes to this rubber! It was a delight, very soft, not noisy, and didn't involve much flinging. On the ice, Velcro is meant to be slippery, so that is to be expected; nonetheless, I believe that it is only little slippery. When I was younger, there was another car that had Velcro, but I can't remember who made it, and it was even worse in that car. As a result, I now make up for the slip merely by increasing my capacity to drive on the mechanics, and in general, I try my best to avoid bringing it to this point. In the cold, it is not worth risking your life by getting behind the wheel. The rubber received high acclaim from the installer of w/m as well. In addition to that, she did well on the stress test. It was a good idea to change shoes because I had unknowingly planted a self-tapping screw but did not see it right away. As a direct consequence of this, she had to crawl for around 500 meters on flat tires. I had a terrible feeling that such a soft rubber would not be able to withstand this and the balloon for expulsion, so I did not place many bets on 1000 meters, which is the theoretical minimum distance for these kinds of scenarios. BUT! She extracted) The self-tapping screw was pulled out, a tourniquet, everything is in accordance with the canonical works, and tfu tfu, I have already forgotten about this unpleasant occurrence. My sincere gratitude goes out to the seller. They helped put the goods into the car, they provided all of the appropriate documentation, and the things were prepared in a little over an hour and a half. As a consequence of this, I think a 10k is a good bet!

Pros
  • They are comfortable, don't make a lot of noise, don't tremble when they get in a rut, and hold the road well.
Cons
  • When applying enough force to the brakes, there is a slight dragging on the ice, which, in my opinion, is a positive indicator for Velcro.
