Review on Pirelli Ice Zero 205/60 R16 96T winter by Wiktor Marciniak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

I changed my shoes on October 7 and drove for a week. My new size is 195/65/15. I'll roll back the required 1000 kilometres by mid-November while the tire is rolling. Since Rostov is still warm, I am unable to judge how people will act on ice and snow. Positive first impressions include a tire that is only somewhat noisy, travels smoothly on highways, and a vehicle that doesn't even scour the track. At 90 and 110 km/h, there is an uncomfortable rumble; at 100 and 120, it stops, but the spikes all remain in place. The first 100 km were a touch slick, but now that the cans of food have been removed from the contact patch, the tire is more adept at taking turns. A wonderful characteristic is that it absorbs impacts efficiently. When Sorge fell into a hole, he assumed it was all the result of a bump, but the tire really swallowed him up unnoticed. By the way, Hong Kong is the location of production (this is for the "experts" who claim that our assembly is what) Even with awkward disks (30-55g per wheel with 70g permitted by GOST for domestic rubber), it balanced without any issues. Snow will fall, so I'll add an extra five kopecks to the review)) So far, five points. Thank you for your time, and safe travels! An addition to the feedback: just happy feelings the first winter. Yes, it's noisy, but in the winter, safety comes first. In the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, I passed everyone to the right and left of the knurled track while comfortably maintaining a speed between 100 and 110. The car moved as if it were on asphalt thanks to my overtaking maneuvers. Deep snow doesn't cause problems either; it rakes out beautifully.

Pros
