Review on Pirelli Ice Zero 195/60 R15 88T winter by Micha Grt ᠌

Volvo XC70 4WD car. 235/55/17 Initially I planned to take Michelin x ice north2. They stand on Antara and really liked it. But killed the price tag. The closest alternative in terms of price and reviews were Pirelli. Finally took them. The first 5-6 thousand km tires are very noisy. They start buzzing somewhere from 70 km / h and reach their apogee at 120 km / h. The rumble is very strong despite the fact that I am not a sissy and almost always drove on spikes, and Volvo is quite a quiet car. But somewhere after 5-6 thousand kilometers, the noise decreased significantly, this is not a habit, it became really quieter at the Michelin X Ice level. As for the main characteristics of tires: according to. The straight line goes very well, I drove through fresh wet snow with a depth of 17 centimeters . I was pleasantly surprised by the reliability of overtaking and how easily the car kept the straight line. On the lands, rowing with a bang and tightness and with gas is also possible. On asphalt, braking is very good for studding at any air temperature. It pes through puddles quite easily, you have to try to surface. It’s not bad on ice, but I would like it better - the ABS turns on too early, a little earlier than on Antara with Michelin . It is quite possible that Antara’s weight plays a role (2t versus 1.8t Volvo), but the fact remains. In general, like Michelin, the Pirellis pleased with their complete predictability in most situations, where they even surprised me . I repeat, the straight line in the porridge and the rut keeps perfectly. The only stress is cornering - lateral grip on 4- . It takes a little getting used to, because the blows a little easier than we would like! This point must be taken into account. The sidewall ped the strength test - I caught a solid hole with the front wheel at 130 km / h . The blow was very good . I thought I broke the wheels and killed the disk. As a result, "only" a hernia . The disc and suspension are without loss (a strong Volvo bucket) . In general, the tires work very well, at least on an all-wheel drive car, at least claims.
