Pirelli Sottozero Serie II

Got these tyres 1year ago and still plenty of tread left. In dry they are ok.. but in wet i just dont feal safe. Aquaplaning is bad. In slushy snow they are actualy good, could climb a steep icy and snowy hill and felt comfortable normal snow driving. Overall i won't be buying them again.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Pirelli Scottozero 2. I have been driving it for almost three years and so far it has never let me down or disappointed me. Especially in wet road conditions (danger of aquaplaning) and my sporty driving style, the tire gives me a very safe feeling with direct response. Braking behavior is also above average on wet roads. In the snow the tire is also very grippy and energetic on the road. If the road isn't cleared, it's no problem for me to still make my way to work at 70 km/h. I haven't had any great experiences on black ice yet. However, you should generally be very careful here. Compared to other drivers, I would say that you have a clear advantage with these tires. Where others had difficulties in the snow, I continued on without any problems. I would definitely recommend the tire.

Nice tire balanced for cold, clean asphalt. Not very good on snow and ice.

Decent on wet/dry terrain. I actually use them in the summer; they have decent braking distance. No noticable wear in the 5k miles used. Pretty rubbish on snow; I barely got any traction in snow from stopped position on a 10% incline, AWD saved me.
Overall decent tires, but I wouldnt use them in areas with moderate to heavy snow.

Great tyre very impressive wet grip even in standing water, dry grip is good but not impressive especially above 7degrees C. fitted on my mini cooper gp2 as winter tyres i would buy these again.

Very interesting winter tyre.On dry you feel very confident driving fast(what is usually not normal for winter tyre) you feel the road very good and brake distance is very short,they are very progressive.They are good alsow on wet,not like on dry but satisfactory.They last very long for a winter tyre and they dont change the quality with wear.The only weak point is snow and ice,they are only average.I will buy them again for sure and I recomend them....

Used as all-season tyres first on Alfa 156 for 25000mi then for another 20000mi on Alfa 147 in rotation with Sottozero III on the other axis, both very good wear despite running a lot in hot summer. Grip as well as comfort and safety under all conditions also very good.

Replaced with Falken HS449 which were aweful compared to these, wear twice as fast, wheel spin on almost every semaphore and very hard sidewall.

Follow up to 1000 mile review.
Have now driven over 5000 miles.
Driving in temperatures up to 100 degrees F.
Tires perform wonderfully.
They run relatively cool on 100 + degrees F highways.
Wearing evenly and not showing any signs of excessive wear.
Working fine as an all season tire.
I run them one pound under the TPMS recommended inflation pressure for Winter tires under full load.
Slight grip loss at 0.98 G on the Porsche G forces gauge. On dry pavement.

Originally ordered Pirelli scorpion verde tyres but due to a mis-order got the winter tyres. They have proved to be a good all rounder tyre for British weather...
Handling has been great and noise more than acceptable.
Will definitely order these again... I drive quite hard and the wear is even and will last much longer than the winter months. I do NOT intend to change them for the summer months!

Initial review. 295/30R20 and 245/35R20
Bought as winter tires for cold (teens) and light snow.
Have also experienced unseasonable 70 degree weather.
Tires have performed well in all conditions.
Much quieter and more comfortable ride than the PZeros I replaced.
Not as predictable as the PZeros probably due to the assortment of tread patterns.
Appear to run cooler than the PZeros. Hope to drive them into the summer.
Good looking tires. Complement the car.
Only a V rating, however.
Porsche N0 approved.
Not cheap.
So far so good.

295/30R20 rear; 245/35R20 front
Just purchased so scores provided are based on limited driving time.
They look great.
Feel great.
Ride great.
Brake great.
And I bet they easily outlast the 16000 mile P Zeros I replaced.
Just in time for cold and snow.
Will let you know how they perform.

Great tyres which haven't had a noticeable negative impact on car fuel economy since switching from Summer tyres. I have left these tyres on my E class Mercedes right through the Summer to maximise their wear, with a view to buying new tyres for the Winter ahead.

Excellent winter tyres for a BMW. Great grip in all conditions. In the snow they will provide excellent grip on fresh snow, slush and compacted snow. A little lively on very cold greasy surfaces but my 740d does have 313bhp so no surprise.

Got these on sale for 90EUR each. Realy pleasently surprised with them, coming from Nokian before them. Great in wet, reasonably silent, great in snow, very comfortable and stable in subzero temperatures. Very good road feedback. Definitely recommend these to everyone, Pirelli produced an alrounder premium tyre. And, if anyone cares, they look good too ;)

Excellent in snow, somewhat acceptable performance on pure glass-like ice, regardless of the fact that a studded tyre would have been an entirely different story. On dry and warm they are of course soft, however still perform nicely, predictably let go, on wet, especially during winter temperatures they perform greatly. Next winter I'm gonna get these again.
