The tread design, compound and casing structure all boast specific features for use in low temperatures. In confronting this significant challenge, Pirelli was encouraged by the excellent results achieved with the most recent Winter tyres, and triumphed thanks to the technology and experience gained through participation in motorsport.
The Winter SOTTOZERO design sets new performance standards for Winter tyres enhancing safety and driving pleasure.
Deep diagonal grooves, a distinguishing feature of the Sottozero tread pattern that reduce road noise and, assisted by the specially designed blocks, enhance the acoustic comfort and rolling resistance qualities.
Broad, deep longitudinal grooves with differentiated profiles allow water to be expelled, even at high speed, thus raising the aquaplaning threshold.
Substantial shoulder blocks confer exceptional lateral rigidity to the tread when under load during cornering, raising the limits of grip and ensuring precise handling through sudden changes in direction.

Great winter tyre, good on slippery roads. Reasonable noise level. Fairly comfortable ride. Only downside is price but if you value your car, they're worth it.

Brilliant tyre. No Problem at all and so much better than running around on all season tyres this winter

This is not a vehicle that one would expect to cope well with extreme conditions, but it was unstoppable in a snowy UK, in the French Alps, and during blizzard conditions in Belgium. A very impressive winter tyre which drives well on dry roads too.
