Description of Pirelli Ice Zero 2 205/55 R16 80T winter

3291800205/55R16 94T XL Ice Zero 2 TL (PIRELLI ICE ZEROTM 2 stud) is a revolutionary tire in 2019 in the studded winter tire market, designed specifically for premium and prestige passenger cars and SUVs. Product for the most extreme winter conditions guarantees the highest level of safety thanks to the patented double core stud technology, which provides excellent grip and shorter braking distances on ice, in deep and packed snow, in slush conditions. Thanks to the reduced stud size, the new layout and the increase in the number of studs from 130 (previous generation) to 190, it was possible to maximize the effectiveness of each individual stud, significantly improve traction and braking performance and obtain optimal performance even in deep snow. Also, due to the new location of the studs, the noise level has been reduced to values ​​close to the noise level of non-studded winter tires, which significantly increases driving comfort. The design of the stud hole in the tread plays a decisive role in the transfer of tire grip to the road. And the optimized stiffness of the rubber compound in the stud area enhances its attachment. The presence of "containers" for snow on both sides of each spike allows you to avoid the appearance of a thin crust of ice, and the spikes work as efficiently as possible.1. Container for ice crumb cleaning spike improves traction on ice.2. The zigzag block edges and instant grip edges shorten the braking distance on all types of winter roads3. V-shaped water evacuation accelerator provides excellent traction on wet pavement4. 3D sipe technology in the shoulder blocks improves performance and stability on dry and wet surfaces.5. Shoulder snow lugs improve traction in deep snow.6. Multi-directional tread channels provide balance and stability for traction and braking. Evolutionary patented stud technology • Reliable performance on ice is ensured by unique technology and asymmetric double stud geometry. stud loss. • The stud core is made of tungsten carbide, which has increased resistance to abrasion, keeping the stud performance as long as possible. • Lighter weight and stud size reduces noise, which greatly improves driving comfort. • Multi-directional trapezium of the stud body reduces stud mobility .features available In RUN FLATTM versions

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

I purchased a kit from a market tire store, and not only did they deliver it within one day and ensure that the tires were in good condition, but they also provided me with a coupon for a free tire servicing.

Pros
  • Fast delivery
Cons
  • No

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Balanced, in my perspective, is not very good, with anywhere from 40 to 55 grams distributed over each wheel. On these discs, it was summer, therefore there was between 5 and 15 grams. Let's wait until winter to find out how well the tires perform in the cold. Took up the role of the Kodiak.

Pros
  • Price quote provided in advance; service has not yet been rendered. In overall, satisfactory; the sidewall appeared to be ordinary; there was an adequate number of spikes.
Cons
  • Price, achieving a balance

The rubber may come with a hefty price tag, but it's well worth it. Since I had to make the switch in the dead of winter, I opted for the newest model available, an Ice Zero. I came out ahead, as Ice Zero 2 performs better in the harsh winter circumstances of an urban environment with slow-moving utility crews. They rake out precisely everywhere, so I can eat ice porridge or solid ice every day while on the road. Because they are so reliable, there are occasions when I find myself riding like…

Pros
  • calm, easily manipulated
Cons
  • No

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

Experience behind the wheel since 1996. There is something that can serve as a comparison. I have never had finer tires. Season of departure in Hong Kong, during which the weather tends to be less than ideal. Extreme snowfalls in Hong Kong replaced the ice that had previously covered the territory. The vehicle is a crossover style and has drivetrain with front wheel drive. He drove out of the area without swerving or sliding, even though other vehicles, including those with all-wheel drive…

Pros
  • 1. Manageability 2. applying the brakes on all terrains 3. The dependability with which spikes are allowed to land 4. The predictability of drivers' actions when out on the road 5. Perseverance
Cons
  • 1. Because of the deployed stud, there is a slight slide when starting from a stop, but this gives a fat "+" while braking, which is far more significant in the winter than leaving the traffic signal first.

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Also, the Ice Zero 2 tire's rubber compound is fundamentally different from that of the original. For better traction in "warm winter" conditions, we used a unique resin. Everything checks out, even in the most untypical December conditions. I also tested it on ice and found that it grips the surface really well. All the spikes have been installed thus far. Despite the fact that he sped up and slowed down dramatically. In a nutshell, it's a tire with excellent balance. And far more reasonably…

Pros
  • After putting Ice Zero 2 through its paces for three weeks during a "warm winter" in Hong Kong this December, I was able to confirm my initial impressions: the device significantly reduces background noise. In other words, she doesn't answer the phone. No distracting noises at all. You might as well be riding a stick. The "talkativeness" was tested on both dry pavement and a surface made of a mud and snow porridge mixture. Surprisingly, the customary rumble of spikes is completely absent both there and there. The spikes used to appear to be created in lines, but now they are spread out in various directions. As a result, the tires' braking performance improved and their noise levels decreased. I compared it to the ice and snow reel and found nearly zero flaws.
Cons
  • Ignored it completely.

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

I move for three months in an energetic, hasty manner. ranflat 245/50 r19 size. Still present are the pins. good for handling snow. even at high speeds, perfectly maintains the course when crossing the snow porridge's parapet when changing lanes. Without lateral drift. Definitely quieter than any Nokian, which I had previously driven for ten years. There is no discernible wear.

Pros
  • one of the few winter tires built for a 210 km/h top speed. This is true for me because I travel a lot at times.

The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

I should not have taken these spikes or tires with me. I regret my decision. The friction one model has been used for the last four years. I purchased a new automobile, and as part of the deal, I was offered a substantial discount on the purchase of Pirelli tires. When you park your vehicle, for instance, and turn the steering wheel on the asphalt, the spikes will launch themselves out onto the ground. Spikes were found adjacent to the wheels, therefore it's safe to assume that it's rubbish…

Pros
  • Nothing
Cons
  • 1. Noisy 2. Rests comfortably on asphalt. 3. Sharp protrusions emerge.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Over the past two seasons, I started each day at ice zero. Side destruction (on the rear wheel drive, BMW e90), noisiness is tin, and I expected another when I bought it. Ice zero 2 real silent! Instead of hearing the rustle of spikes in the cabin throughout the summer, you won't have to! According to the reviews on this page, I made a foolish decision. I didn't regret it at all ! In contrast to the original zero, the stud blade was given a reversed orientation. Which helps with active braking…

Pros
  • That much silence! Asphalt that is wet and cold maintains its grip perfectly. Although I did not spend much time driving on it, in my perspective, the jamb that had side demolitions was eliminated, in contrast to its predecessor.
Cons
  • Haven't revealed yet

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I put these 225/45/R18 RunFlat tires on my rear-wheel-drive BMW coupe, and they've been great. I'm glad I didn't spend more on Kontik and Hakka. I drove through four seasons on the prior model of IceZero tires before upgrading with no regrets. Benefits from: The Italians did a great job of fixing the flaws from the previous generation, and the result is a boat that rows steadily, stays put on the road, and, most importantly, is much quieter. The negatives: If I can't find it by the end of the…

By the way, the rubber compound used in the Ice Zero 2 tire is entirely different from that used in the tire's predecessor. It was given a unique adhesive to increase traction on both wet and dry surfaces during "warm winter" conditions. Everything is in order and was tested in unusual circumstances for December. I also checked it on the ice and found that it bites into it and chokes it. By the way, all of the spikes are currently in place! Despite abrupt acceleration and braking. A very nicely

Pros
  • The primary thing I learned after three weeks of testing in Hong Kong during a "warm winter" in December was that Ice Zero 2 actually had a far lower noise level. She is silent. No unnecessary noises. You feel like you're on a stick. I evaluated the "talkativeness" of the surface using a mixture of mud and snow porridge as well as dry pavement. Surprisingly, neither place has even the slightest indication of the customary rumble for spikes. Aside from that, although previously the spikes appeared to be created in lines, they are now spread out among multiple lines. The tires' sound resonance was eliminated as a result, and their braking performance was improved. I looked it up on the ice and snow reel, and there is hardly anything to be upset about.
Cons
  • Never noticed anything

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

With the intention of rolling it on asphalt, I took it in the fall. R18 is rather low, 225/45. Fully driven auto sedan. I traveled approximately 500 km on asphalt, followed by another 500 km in a leisurely manner. In addition, after 3 months of use, not a single spike has fallen out. Or, maybe I just missed it despite looking for it. holds firmly. Snow, ice, and asphalt. Over the course of the winter, frequent excursions from St. Petersburg to Hong Kong time, the cottage, etc. rolled about…

Pros
  • Excellent all-wheel drive grip, no spikes came out during the half of the winter that involved drifting and drifting on asphalt and ice.
Cons
  • At some speeds, there is a loud noise, while at other ranges, it is not heard.

I purchased four of them, got them operating a week before the first frost, and kept my speed between 60 and 70 kilometers per hour while maintaining a calm demeanor. I am writing this so that it won't be said that I punctured a hole inside with a spike, which would then cause a crack to form from the inside. As soon as I switched my shoes out for new wheels, I saw that one of the tires began to emit a toxic gas almost instantly; however, I did not immediately realize what was happening. In the

Pros
  • Gentle, somewhat quiet, and effective in slowing down
Cons
  • All of the tires have varying offsets, which can be seen with the naked eye; some of the spikes sit lower, while others, on the other hand, are lower and more depressed. The impression that they could have placed it wherever. There was a problem with one tire.

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

Excellent tires. I was pleased with the relative (when compared with other studded tires) silence. Also a pleasant moment was the strength of the spikes, which was tested last winter, not too snowy, when I had to drive a lot on bare asphalt. In that period, when the winter weather was still similar to winter, the rubber showed itself very well. It copes well with snow (including soaked porridge) and ice. Tenacity, taxiing at height

Pros
  • Pretty quiet for studded tires. Very tenacious. The spikes are firmly held.
Cons
  • During the first winter did not reveal

took zero 2, because it was the first zero and left a good impression, except for the real noise. Here the noise is normal for spikes. now it remains to see how firmly the spike sits. one season, weak indicator . at the first zero, for 3 seasons, one spike flew out, though the car was weaker in power. With a cumulative comparison of Hakka 8, Kontik 2 and Zero 2 - IMHO, they are all worthy, but Zero is cheaper.

Pros
  • Dimension 225 50 18, auto-quattro for 333 hp. Used the first winter season, this is about 5k km. Siberia. City (main) - intercity-suburb-highway, wherever possible - drove aggressively. Of course, there was a rolling of spikes 800-900 km. on dry pavement, up to 190 km / h (I didn’t accelerate anymore in winter), rolled snow also holds well. I have no complaints about the noise level, I compare it with Hakka 8 and Kontik 2, which were before, but the price tag for zero 2 is more pleasant. Spikes for the season, everything is in place, I am very jealous of this. The sidewall is moderately elastic, moderately soft, in general, comfortable.
Cons
  • not revealed yet

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

Tires are on a Skoda Kodiak car. I've been using it since the beginning of November. Soft tires with which the machine is stable. Prior to that, there were summer full-time Yokohama. The network was demolished in the corners. On the Pirelli ice zero2, the car spins itself into corners. There is noise, but not much. More like a rustle from Velcro. There is no ghoul. Although, when they were unrolled, they buzzed. Excellent Lipovka. I recommend.

Pros
  • They keep the road well. Tough on snow and ice. Stability in turns on asphalt. Softness of movement.
Cons
  • Moderately noisy, as these are thorns
