I bought these tires to replace my dedicated winter tires on my Fiesta ST. I wanted to have a tire which can handle my spirited driving sessions in winter time, I did not have a really good expierence with dedicated winters in the past for that. Also in my location winter is mostly wet or dry between -5 and 10 °C. Snow became pretty rare in the last years. So I thoght a good all saison will perform better on most days.
I am pretty impressed with these Pirellis so far. Dry grip betwenn 10 and -5 °C feels excellent and you can really push them on some twisty roads. Also wet handling in cold wather feels relly good and allways safe. They sure feel a bit softer on turn in then my summers (GY AS6) but not too bad and that's to be expected compared to an UHP summer tire. I also did some highway driving on German Autobahn and pushed them to 220 Km/h+ and they were also perfectly stable at that speed.
Today I also had the rare occasion to test them in snow condition. And I have to say I am really impressed what a modern all saison can do. Felt perfectly safe and also predictable. I have driven many winter tires in the past that felt worse in snow than these. Espacially the snow braking felt really good and stable, you had to push the brake pedal quite a bit to trigger the ABS. When you go over the limit my car responds with a slight progressive understeer and remains controllable, no sudden snaps or sometthing.
Comfort and Noise levels are good but nothing special. Noise about the same than my AS6 summers, comfort a bit better. Fuel economy is also about the same than my summers can't tell a differnce so far.
The rim protection could be a bit thicker in my opinion.
So all in all I am satisfied with my decision to go for the Pirelli all saisons instead of dedicated winters. They suit my pocket rocket really well in the winter saison and let me have some fun in the cold saison when it is dry.
