Pirelli Winter SottoZero 3

I live on Vancouver Island and, due to a lack of snow and my limited driving, I cannot comment on the Sottozero 3's performance as a winter tire in the five months I've owned them. In terms of wet weather performance, road noise, handling, etc., they met or exceeded my expectations. Maybe next year I'll be able to verify how these tires rate in snow and ice. Service from 1010 Tires was excellent. I recommend these tires.

So I haven't driven with these tires in snow yet, but if they are as good in snow as they are in rain then they will be amazing snow tires!! They instill confidence while driving, especially in the rain. Only problem I find is that they wear quite quickly, especially with spirited driving in the dry. So far they seem like the perfect tire for our Vancouver weather that gets lots of rain and some times a little snow! I looked for a long time for a set of good performance tires what would work well in Vancouver's winter climate, after reading a lot reviews I truly believe I found a winner with these tires.
