  • B
    Wet Grip / Braking Performance: B

    A tyre's wet grip capacity is expressed in Grades from A to E. The difference in braking distances between each grade is roughly 3m - an average car length.

Product description & features

Pirelli Winter SottoZero 3 is a high-performance winter tyre built for premium saloons, coupes and sporty hatchbacks that still need precise control when temperatures drop. Designed for UK winters, it focuses on reliable braking and traction on cold, wet roads, with added capability in slush and snow for drivers who cover motorway miles and mixed A-road journeys.

The asymmetric tread layout helps balance winter grip with stable steering response. Wide circumferential grooves channel water away to reduce the risk of aquaplaning, while dense 3D-style sipes create extra biting edges that interlock under load to support confident braking. Stronger outer tread blocks help the tyre maintain a consistent contact patch through corners, improving stability on cold dry tarmac as well as in the wet.

A cold-weather compound with high silica content is tuned to stay flexible at low temperatures, aiding grip without making the tyre feel vague. Ride comfort and noise are well controlled for a performance-focused winter option, and rolling resistance is optimised to support efficiency without overstating fuel savings. The Winter SottoZero 3 is available in a wide range of 16–21 inch sizes, with selected fitments offering Run Flat, Seal Inside or PNCS noise-reduction technology.
