Pirelli Sottozero Serie II Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 26 reviews

Drivers largely praise the Pirelli Sottozero Serie II for excellent wet grip, secure handling and braking (even at higher speeds), strong comfort/low noise, and surprisingly good wear, with many keeping them on year-round in mild climates. Snow performance is generally confident-especially on packed snow and slush-transforming RWD cars in winter. A minority report the tire is only average on ice or in deeper, unplowed snow, and some note it softens and can get noisier in warmer temperatures. Overall sentiment is strongly positive with high scores dominating.

Chosen as a runflat winter tire for 4 months expecting 4 months of cold weather and a couple of days of snow. Turned out the snow lasted for 5 weeks so I got a good show of this tires capabilitys. I am a big fan of this tire, handling of car in damp or icy conditions was predictable and safe and always controllable. The weeks we had snow/slush meant I was on an inch of snow on motorways a few times and could cross between clear/snow laden lanes with no heart attacks. All in all a great looking tire thats worth buying to give you 365 access to your favorite toy. As the weather has got warmer the last few weeks I would say the car is bogging down a bit with too much grip at the rear, definetly be worth changing them soon for Summer tires.

Excellent grip on snow and ice, good control with FWD and 200 BHP even without ESP/ASR in use. Responds well on wet surfaces. Braking on dry surfaces (and above 7 degrees celzius) a little bit longer then with summer tires. Deffinetly top 5 winter tire.
