Good tire. Good handling on wet and dry. Consumption defect.

These are my first all-season tyres. I live in Slovakia under the mountains, so I was really hesitant about getting them, but my first experience is very good and I am impressed. I have them fitted from November and I already experienced temperature from +15 to -10 °C. I am very impressed with SF3 during dry condition and also during wet condition, it is much better experience then winter tyres also in temperatures under 0 °C.

At first, I was not sure about snow traction...but after it gets me on steep hill without even slipping in 5cm fresh snow I could not believe it. Also I experienced several pass via mountain pass one time with heavy snow, and I was also not a problem. I didn´t feel huge difference between Pirellis SF3 and other premium winter tyres. Since my car is FWD...for extra traction when I go skiing I bought also set of sock chains, but I didn´t need them so far...

Now I am curious how they will handle hot temperatures during summer.

Genuinely seriously impressive tyre. I decided to use these as a winter tyre as I live in Scotland.

In dry conditions manages to have acceptable levels of grip in a straight line, slight wheel spin sometimes but cannot complain since the M2 is RWD 365bhp.

Very strong tyre in the dry and super progressive, really lets you know when it does begin to slip when doing spirited driving. A big strong point as these tyres still allow the vehicle to be driven in a sporting manner.

In the wet they are okay for wet straight line grip, it spins up pretty easy in 1st and 2nd gear. Regardless still catches grip eventually, the handling in the wet is also okay, nothing special and is nicely progressive when the car does begin to slip away while cornering.

They are also amazing at aquaplane resistance, never met a puddle that caused the car to lose control, and I’ve been through a good few storms on the motorway with standing water, been through large street puddles/low floods. Can really have confidence driving through very poor storm like rainy conditions

In the snow these tyres are brilliant, couldn’t complain at all. Was able to drive this powerful rear wheel drive without any problems in multiple inches of snow. I could rely on cornering grip (great and predictable snow drifts) it stopped well in the snow too and could go up and down snowy hills without a sweat. Genuinely very impressed and gives me great confidence for poor weather conditions.

In icy/frosty conditions, they seem to be great, pretty much felt the similar to the wet weather grip levels. Tyres seem pretty good in minus temperatures, won’t blow your socks off but will absolutely keep you safe.

All in all, after being able to test the tyres over a period of 3000 miles through various winter and mild conditions, I will only buy these going forward even with the price premium.

I feel like it allows my performance car to still be a performance car in the colder months. It also gives me peace of mind driving through the most adverse of conditions.

Very noisy on rough surfaces, it seems to suffer from potholes because it drags a lot more noise, excellent support on wet surfaces, in my opinion it suffers a bit from aquaplaning. Average braking on wet surfaces.
On dry surfaces I noticed that it delays the steering response, it seems to float and then leans on the curve, definitely an excellent grip but you have to understand this behavior.
I came from the icep evo 3 and the steering response seemed more direct and sporty as the sensation of aquaplaning was better but on wet surfaces they were k.o. Compared to the SF3. I have to try it on snow, I hope I won't be disappointed by the grip on snow

Amazing tires. Absolute champions in the wet, great handling in the dry, sporty feel. Matched up with an FWD SUV vehicle you will not have any problems. One thing of note, they are less sporty in the dry than the original summer tires.

Pirelli cinturato all seasons SF3 tires replace Continental ecocontact 6. I am satisfied. Better handling on dry and wet. Less rolling, reinforced tire. On the other hand, more rolling noise.

Had these to prepare for UK winter conditions for safety over my summer tyres (Goodyear Eagle F1 5), and already can feel improved comfort and ride. It's hard to describe really but it just feels better to drive.
Wet is fantastic and I feel much more confident on such surfaces at higher speeds. Dry is the same, and I mostly drive on both country and town roads. Have experienced motorway with these too and the same feeling of confidence and comfort. So I couldn't be happier with the tyres.

Yet to experience the tyres on ice or snow but I've full faith in them.

Initial impressions: The tire is silent compared to 18 inch Michelin Pilot Sport 5's and takes bumps well for an XL tire.

Turning feels really nice at 15 degrees celsius in the dry, I am very happy with Pirelli so far, I'd even say that now my front wheels turn too quickly, I have to get used to smaller tires. Some of the tires were lightly bulged out of the factory, but still in spec for a small car. (Balanced with Hunter Road Force Elite)

I'll return with a winter review.

It has definitely been a choice that improved the driving comfort of my car. I’m pleased with the road handling. I’ve had the chance to drive around 3,000 km without experiencing any issues. With my B-segment SUV, I can now take turns more easily, and I’m satisfied with the braking distance. Both dry and wet grip have shown a significant improvement for me. The performance and safety level of my vehicle have definitely increased. I haven’t noticed a difference in fuel consumption compared to my previous tires yet. Although the suspension of my B-segment SUV is medium-firm, I feel less impact from bumps and potholes on the road, and I can notice the difference in comfort. I haven’t had the chance to try it on snow or icy roads, but I’m confident it will perform well.

Best Tyre i ever Had! Way better than Conti asc2 and Much betetr than michelin cc2. Tread perfect now. Should easy last longer than 45.000km. Pirelli done the best Tyre on this planet in all season market!

Best all-season tire I've ever driven

Coming from Continental's Eco Contact6 to these Pirellis, first impressions after a couple hundred km:
-Even though the Continentals were 4 years old and only ran for about 13k km during their lifespan, the dry grip was better than the Pirrelis, which I was not expecting.
Even so, I am satisfied with their performance
-Wet grip has improved, they seem very good so far, but I'm waiting to "measure" the performance when it gets cold outside. So far the temps here in Romania haven't dropped under 15c where I live
-Comfort: Noise is very good, but not as comfortable as the Continentals. Even so, I prefer lower noise and a harder tire. Steering feedback seems to have improved, but given the Dacia's weird steering system, this may be placebo.
-Haven't had the chance to test snow yet, nor icy roads

Overall I am satisfied with the purchase, and I'm looking to update this review once I get to spend some more time on them.

I'm also debating switching to these on my 4motion Passat
