Description of Pirelli Ice Zero 2 225/55 R17 101T winter

PIRELLI ICE ZEROTM 2 is a revolutionary tire for 2019 in the studded winter tire market, designed specifically for premium and prestige passenger cars and SUVs. The product for the most extreme winter conditions guarantees the highest level of safety thanks to the patented double core stud technology that 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 individu...

What did I pay for? This product is a failure.

Got pros: I have no complaints about the rubber itself, there are enough reviews about it. Its cons: Seller: interros-shina, do not buy from him. The seller assured me that the tires will be no later than 2022. Got 2022 tires. They are also fenced off by the storekeeper, the poor fellow. In general, I decided that I would not return. But I will write the truth so that buyers know who not to deal with. Friends, check sellers!

Balanced in my opinion is not very good, on each wheel from 40 to 55 gr. It was summer on these discs, so there was 5-15g. Let's see how the tires will show themselves in the winter. Took on the Kodiak

Pros
  • Estimate in advance, not installed yet. In general, solid, the sidewall seemed average, there were enough spikes.
Cons
  • Price, balancing

Best thing for the money, glad I did it.

The GOODYEAR UG ICE ARCTIC D-STUD, MICHELIN X-ICE NORTH-4 were among the finest tires I've ever had. There has never been a better tire than the Pirelli Ice Zero 2. How it can be ruled and managed is nothing more than a tall tale, and how it can be slowed down is nothing more than a bomb! The spike's placement is spot on! It takes a lot of effort to get around on ice, yet the automobile handles just like it does on asphalt in the summer. The Hakku 8 is fine, but the Pirelli Ice Zero 2 is a far…

Pros
  • Outstanding traction and stopping power on icy roads. visible spike fixation. tranquility in the soundscape. What a bargain considering the quality!
Cons
  • NO!

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

Maintain a straight line and stand on an arc in a perfect manner. Behavior that is quite accurate when cornering. Act in a timely and correct manner in response to control activities. They have good stopping power. They go confidently in the deep snow (in parking lots that haven't been cleaned, I don't write about "free-riding" on snow), according to a mixture of wet, dirty snow and reagents that are 3-5 centimeters high in the same spot and strained. When the pavement is dry, they simply climb

Pros
  • Tires with excellent handling and riding comfort
Cons
  • During the summer months, riding is prohibited.

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

The tires are very quiet compared to the previous generation. Up to 120 km / h in the cabin with an average noise, you can hear a conversation in a whisper (until you drive faster), the manufacturer promises improved grip and braking compared to the 1st generation, we will test it on ice and snow, while in St. Petersburg it’s +

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

A set of tires for a Skoda Kodiak. Since the first of November, I've been making use of it. The tires are soft and the machine is stable when using them. Before that, Yokohama summers would last all year round. The network was particularly shattered in its periphery. The automobile can't help but spin off on the Pirelli ice zero2. There is some background noise. A Velcro rustling, if you will. No ghost or ghoul exists. However, they made a buzzing sound when unrolled. The Lipovka is top-notch…

Pros
  • They do a good job of maintaining the road. Robust in wintry conditions. On asphalt, you may turn with confidence. Gentleness of motion.
Cons
  • These are thorns, so there is some noise.

Excellent product, the best quality.

took zero 2 since it was the initial zero and made a positive impression, despite the fact that it was extremely noisy. The noise level is typical for spikes in this case. The next thing that needs to be determined is how firmly the spike is placed. only one season, which is a poor indicator. despite the fact that the automobile had less power, there was always one spike that flew out at the first zero for all three seasons. In light of the overall comparison between Hakka 8, Kontik 2, and Zero

Pros
  • Dimension 225 50 18, auto-quattro for 333 horsepower. This was used during the first winter season, and it is around 5,000 kilometers. Siberia. Aggressive driving was observed in the city (main) areas, as well as on the intercity and suburban highways. Naturally, there was some rolling of spikes between 800 and 900 kilometers on dry pavement at speeds of up to 190 kilometers per hour (I didn't accelerate as much during the winter), and rolled snow also maintains its grip effectively. I compare it to Hakka 8 and Kontik 2, both of which were there before, but the price tag for zero 2 is more agreeable to me. I do not have any issues regarding the amount of noise. Spikes for the season, everything is in place, and I cannot express how envious I am of this situation. The sidewall has a modest amount of elasticity, is relatively soft, and is comfortable in general.
Cons
  • not disclosed as of yet

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

The last 2 seasons I went to ice zero first . Side demolition (on the rear wheel drive, bmw e90), noisiness is tin, I expected another when buying . Ice zero 2 real quiet! Without the rustle of spikes in the cabin like in the summer! I took a pig in a poke according to reviews here . I didn’t regret it at all ! The stud blade was turned over, unlike the first zero . Which contributes to active braking, stabilizes lateral drifts (when working with a modified tread), but it is more responsive…

Pros
  • Really quiet! Wet, icy asphalt holds flawlessly. I didn’t drive much on it, but the jamb with side demolitions (unlike its predecessor) was removed in my opinion.
Cons
  • Haven't revealed yet

Not my best purchase, could have found something else.

I regretted that I took these tires, and indeed spikes. The last 4 years went to the friction one model. I took a new car and got the opportunity to take Pirelli tires at a good discount. The spikes fly out on the spot, for example when parking, when you turn the steering wheel on the pavement. Found a few spikes next to the wheels, it's certainly trash. Noisy, probably like all studded tires, even premium ones. If it was winter 19-20 in Hong Kong, maybe the impressions would be different. I…

Pros
  • Nothing
Cons
  • 1. Noisy 2. Floats on asphalt 3. Spikes fly out

Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

I bought 4 pieces, started running a week before frost, drove quietly and smoothly no more than 60-70 km / h. I am writing this so that they don’t say that I pierced a hole inside with a spike and a crack appeared from the inside. One tire began to poison from the very beginning, as soon as I changed my shoes to new wheels, I did not immediately understand what was wrong. In the morning I pump up to 2.3 bar in 2-3 days already 1.8 bar, and randomly poisons in time. As a result, once every two…

Pros
  • Soft, fairly quiet, slow down well
Cons
  • The spikes on all tires have a different offset and this can be seen by eye, some sit deeper, some, on the contrary, are more depressed. The feeling that they put it anywhere. One tire was defective.

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I drive this 225/45/R18 RunFlat rubber on a rear-wheel drive BMW coupe - no problems, I am very pleased, I am glad that I saved money and did not overpay for Kontik and Hakka. On the previous generation of IceZero rubber, I drove 4 seasons, took a new one and did not regret it. Pros below: Rows well, holds the road well, very predictable behavior, and most importantly - much quieter than the previous generation, the Italians did a good job of correcting the mistakes. Cons: I haven’t found it…

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

I took it in the fall, with the aim of rolling it on asphalt. R18 225/45, rather low. Auto sedan on full drive. I rolled a trip on asphalt in the region of 500 km, and then another 500 km in a gentle mode. Further in the course of use for 3 months already - not a single spike fell out, well, or maybe I didn’t find it, although I was looking for it. Holds well. Ice, snow, asphalt. Constant trips from St. Petersburg to Hong Kong time, to the cottage, etc., rolled over the winter about 6,000 km…

Pros
  • Excellent grip on all-wheel drive, for half of the winter with drifting and drifting, on asphalt and ice - no spikes fell out
Cons
  • Strong noise at certain speeds, but at the same time in other ranges - not audible

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I go 3 months, actively, quickly, with drift. Size 245/50 r19 ranflat. The pins are still in place. Handles snow well. Perfectly holds the trajectory when crossing the parapet of snow porridge when changing lanes from lane to lane, even at high speed. No lateral drift. Definitely quieter than all the Nokian, which I drove for ten years before. Wear is not noticeable at all.

Pros
  • One of the few winter tires designed for a speed of 210 km/h. For me, this is true, sometimes I travel so much.

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

Despite the tangible price tag, the rubber is definitely worth the money. I had to change over in the middle of winter, I chose Ice Zero between them - I decided to take the latest model anyway. I did not lose, in all respects Ice Zero 2 behaves better in the conditions of a winter winter in a city with a somewhat belated reaction of utility workers. I eat every day, ice porridge or solid ice on the road - they rake out perfectly everywhere. At times I start to ride like in the summer - they…

Pros
  • quiet, high controllability
Cons
  • No

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

By the way, the composition of the Ice Zero 2 rubber compound is completely different compared to the first generation tire. A special resin was added to it to improve grip on wet and dry surfaces in “warm winter” conditions. Everything is so, tested in abnormal conditions for December. I also checked it on the ice - it bites into it with a stranglehold. So far, by the way, all the spikes are in place! Although accelerated and braked very sharply. In short, a very well balanced tire. And…

Pros
  • For three weeks of testing in the conditions of a "warm winter" in Hong Kong this December, I found out the main thing - Ice Zero 2 really has a seriously reduced noise level. She doesn't buzz! No extraneous sounds. It's like you're on a stick. I checked the "talkativeness" both on dry pavement and on the surface with a cocktail of mud and snow porridge. Surprisingly, both there and there you don’t even notice a hint of the usual rumble for spikes. By the way, earlier the spikes were as if built in lines, but now they are located on different lines. As a result, the tires got rid of sound resonance, and their braking efficiency also increased. I checked it on ice and snow reel - there is almost nothing to complain about.
Cons
  • Didn't notice at all

Driving experience since 1996. There is something to compare. I have never had better tires. Departure season in Hong Kong under not the best weather conditions. Hong Konganent ice was replaced by extreme snowfalls. The car is a crossover with front wheel drive. Where even all-wheel drive cars skidded and could not pass, he drove out calmly. Absolute confidence on the road! Braking on an icy surface at traffic lights is just class! On the second corporate car, there was a Michelin Ice 4 with a…

Pros
  • 1. Manageability 2. Braking on all surfaces 3. Reliability of landing of spikes 4. Predictability of behavior on the road 5. Patency
Cons
  • 1. Slightly slips when starting from a standstill due to the deployed stud, but this gives a fat "+" when braking, which is much more important in winter than leaving the traffic light first.

Expectations were not met, average quality.

I have 255,55,18. There were many different tires, the last one was the first generation Pirelli ice zero, I was pleased with it, this one is not . it does not take away porridge and water, but the main disadvantage is the handle in ice or on a knurled road, it is weak for this tire budget. when braking in ice, the same thing, you need to carefully play the brake pedal so that the abs does not work. afraid of a rut, if the asphalt is pressed through, it throws the car about gogo, afraid of side

Pros
  • The tire for studded tires is quiet. It is excellent in fresh snow. It balances well.
Cons
  • Price, grip, very soft.

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

It is on a 140 hp car. front wheel drive r17. I can't say for wear yet, the first season. By behavior, it gives confidence, that is, if it leads to some kind of porridge with a sharp rebuild, then you understand what will happen next, everything is under control. Rowing in the snow is very confident. But, nevertheless, I recommend being friends with your head and understanding that if the weather conditions are not very good, you should not create any game. There were moments when the…

Pros
  • - Holds any surface perfectly, ice/asphalt/snow/porridge - Quiet for a studded winter, I can't hear the speed ranges being any different
Cons
  • - Expensive, but often you have to pay for quality

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I took it to a new Tiguan with initially disgusting factory soundproofing. Factory Pirelli buzzed specifically. I thought that the spike would be much worse. But it's a miracle. So far, on a run-in, at speeds up to 60-100 km / h on asphalt, the noise is subjectively slightly higher than in the summer. And he is different, more rustling, instead of a terrible rumble. I can’t talk about handling yet, I drive in a wadded break-in mode. Previously, 12 years went to Gislavedah.

Pros
  • Surprisingly quiet.
Cons
  • Price at the beginning of the season.
