  • Tick Icon Car
    Car tyre:

    Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.

    Extra Load or Reinforced tyres:

    A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.

  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

    Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.

Product description & features

The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is designed for ultra-high performance in the winter months. The asymmetric tread pattern aids braking and steering on cold, wet roads. A silica-rich compound keeps the tyre flexible at low temperatures. Water is channeled away by the grooves running the circumference of the tyre. The outer edge blocks support the tyre during cornering on cold, dry and wet roads. Minor slits in the tread provide braking bite and create traction for snow and slush.

The Winter Sottozero 3 has performance winter tyres and replaces the Winter Sottozero Serie II. Some of the iterations have the MO sidewall mark, which is the approval from Mercedes-Benz, or the BMW star mark, indicating that these tyres were made for each of their specifications compared to the others, and were not just made to fit the vehicles. At Tyres.co.uk, we offer the Sottozero 3 in different variations of Run Flat, Seal Inside and PNCS.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread pattern
  • Silica-rich compound
  • Water-channeling grooves

Tyre review for Pirelli Winter SottoZero 3 225/50R18 99H XL
As is expected with run flat tyres, the sidewalls are never as smooth and the ride is less smooth than the rest. However, these run flat tyres hold the road excellent.
