Review on Pirelli Ice Zero 195/60 R15 88T winter by Adam Wielgosz ᠌

I won’t write about noise, which is what it is, but this is a studded tire. Handling is excellent on all winter surfaces. And now about the sad things . I bought the first set back in 2022, it just appeared, it was a novelty and most likely I bought it from the first batch. I really liked the tread pattern and the shape and fit of the spike was original. I immediately realized that the spike will last a long time and fly out very soon. In addition, her sidewalls are stronger than those of Hakki 5,7,8, here these models lose. The price was 1.5 times cheaper than the eminent Nokian. I drove this rubber for three seasons and I will say the following: the spikes are all in place, the carbide heads have been sharpened a little, and also its base around its landing has not been gnawed much; the tread has minimal wear, maybe in the region of a millimeter and this is for three seasons ! There were abrupt starts and critical stops. From such a find, he was happy and sow the day. However, he bought another car, and the tires went to his wife for a car and still serve. I already knew that I would buy ice zero for a new one. I ran to the store and bought these tires for myself, besides, they had a promotion (free tire fitting and a fuel card as a gift), my joy knew no bounds. A set of my new tires was made in 2022, I drove about 300 km on them on asphalt (there is no snow yet), we can say that I rolled it, the rumble, unfortunately, did not go away, but I found that almost all the carbide stud heads crumbled! ! And now they have the shape of the teeth of an old grandfather. Ocheeeen was upset that for some three years the manufacturer had so spoiled the spikes that had no analogues. I hope someone helped in the choice! By the way, owners of Nokian Hakka 7 studded tires, please don’t gloat, the manufacturer also made a surprise for you in the form of the current stud . it has become smaller in shape, and is installed from the eighth model, but at least that one has more studded tracks, although the stud is smaller . so draw your own conclusions!
