Description of Pirelli Ice Zero FR 235/65 R17 108H winter
Pirelli Winter Ice Zero Friction The Pirelli Winter Ice Zero Friction winter tire has been announced by the Italian manufacturer just recently. It is positioned by him as a universal model suitable for installation on any modern passenger cars and providing a very high level of safety in severe winters in the countries of Northern Europe and Russia. Being a novelty, this tire contains in its design many years of successful experience of the Italian company in this field. Tread with increased number of blocks Unlike most previous non-studded models, this tire has a tread design with a symmetrical design. Another feature is the increased number of individual blocks, the smallest of which are located in the central part. Thanks to this, the tire shows excellent traction on snow. Several thousand three-dimensional lamellasIn the development of the Pirelli Winter Ice Zero Friction tire, technical solutions were widely used that had previously proven themselves well on previous models of the Italian company. One of them is 3D sipes, several thousand of which literally dotted its tread. It was possible to increase their number without damage due to the three-dimensional structure of their walls, due to which, upon contact with the road, the transverse and longitudinal mobility of the block is limited. This effect was further enhanced by the ability of the lamellas cut into them to interlock with each other. As a result, these miniature elements, due to the numerous faces formed by them, improve grip on ice, completely leveling the absence of spikes, and in addition, improve handling and stability of grip properties. Improved drainage of water and snow from the contact patch The use of a tread with an increased number of individual blocks allowed the Italian tire manufacturers to equip it with a more than developed drainage system. In addition to the large number of grooves included in its composition, it differs in their location. A significant part of them has a significant slope, and in addition, the width increases towards the edges of the tread. The combination of such features in the design of the drainage system greatly increases its performance, and also gives it the ability to cope with the removal of not only water from the contact patch, but also much heavier masses of melted snow. The end result of this technical solution is very reliable and stable grip on wet and slushy roads. Optimized tread profile shape A significant part of the beneficial differences of this model is provided by design features that are invisible to the eye. One of them is the optimized shape of the tread profile. It not only maximizes the size of the contact patch, giving it an almost square configuration at the same time, but also maintains its geometric parameters when maneuvering and cornering. The biggest advantage of this solution is
Hide
Pros
- Very soft, quiet, control
Cons
- Near the curb and on the soft sidewalls, you need to use extreme caution.
Pros
- Excellent winter tires that do not have studded tread. Not a lot of noise, and a lot of comfort.
Cons
- Not at all; following the beginning of the snow season, it won't be cloudy anymore.
Pros
- Good tyres. Affordable cost. Availability of the product. The option to pay for anything in installments or in portions. Tires have a good grip on the road, and overall, it's the greatest option for the city. Ford Mondeo IV - completely content.
Cons
- Noisy.
Pros
- rows everything, and does so with no mercy.
Cons
- Have not discovered
Pros
- quiet, affordable, predictable, tenacious.
Cons
- No
Pros
- perform admirably on both powder snow and oatmeal.
Cons
- Have not discovered
Pros
- Control, outstanding traction on the road, and a robust cord
Cons
- noisy But there will be more on that below.
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.
Pros
- I put it on Skoda kodiaq 2.0 TSI 4x4 215 \ 65 \ 17 103. Quiet. Excellent behavior on any surface except ice, and if ordinary ice in the cold is still quite predictable and does not cause much fear, then at 0 degrees and a little higher, on wet ice, everything is not so good at all. The rest of the coatings are without problems, porridge, snow, water, dry asphalt and country roads - no problems, everything is fine. Rowing is also normal when conquering the snowdrifts of the Hong Kong region (and we don’t clean the yards) when parking a car.
Cons
- As expected from friction tires, the weak point is the ice. And wet ice. With "frosty" everything is quite normal. ABS does not work often, and only with very active braking, for example, on a thick layer of snow, which I think is quite predictable.
Pros
- I will say so. I bought tires based on reviews, based on video tests. They say it's worthy.
Cons
- Don't know yet, winter will show
Pros
- does not make noise, holds the road well on the highway (speed is within reason), rides on ice (the main thing is not to overdrive)
Cons
- spikes on ice are more effective, more in the comments
