Review on Pirelli Ice Zero 195/60 R15 88T winter by Jnis Pimberis ᠌

Changing the car for the third winter with these tires, I decided to write a review. Before them, for 10 years, I traveled around Hong Kong exclusively on friction Velcro. But he began to notice that "not enough" Velcro, even in the city. Then the snowplows will pass and grind the snowdrifts to the wheels of the cars. The last straw of patience was a trip to Zvenigorod in February 2022, when there was a strong snowstorm and the Velcro turned out to be completely helpless - they just polished the snow with ice and could not move the car. The car was an Audi Q3. In November 2022, a new Audi Q5 of the latest generation was just bought. I bought Ice Zero R19 for them, which I will ride for the third season. For all the time not a single (!) Spike has been lost. 2 winters and about 15,000 km. Honestly passed the break-in of 700 km at a speed of 70-80 km / h. Tires add a lot of confidence on a country road, in yards, where they meet various troubles from public utilities. She really rows and clings. The city also behaves well, on the pavement it slows down and accelerates perfectly. The difference with Velcro in terms of chain characteristics is not felt. The sidewalls are strong, if you rub against the curb - forgivable. By the way, in the Audi Quattro driving school, combat vehicles are shod in this rubber. If you don't believe me, you can watch videos on YouTube. Many write about noise, hum. Yes, he is. Moreover, it depends on two factors - the temperature overboard and the quality of the asphalt. I noticed if on the street the range from minus 5 to plus 5 at a speed of 80 km / h appears rumble. If the frost hits -10, the tires become quiet. Also, noise appears if you go faster than 80 on a smooth road, for example, new asphalt. But since good asphalt is becoming less and less, and winters are colder, you can put up with this feature)) And as I understand it, there are no spikes as quiet as Velcro. Would I buy these tires now? Perhaps not)) Since the 2nd generation of these tires came out, in which a decrease in just this notorious rumble is announced. Good luck to everyone on the road!
