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 significantly cheaper than analogues in the premium segment. And this is also very important.

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.
