Passenger Car All Season Premium Touring Tyres Tyre Review Highlights
Early days, but so far really great all round, Wet grip is good with almost zero wheelspin compared to the Pirelli it came with, recent snow and icy lanes no problem, motorway and dual cariageway smooth and quiet
Had them for 3 years now. Till last week, I always bragged how good my decision was to buy all season tires. I live in continental Europe. We don't get snow any more like we did when I was younger. All that has changed. In winter now we get few cm snow at best, and temp. few degrees below 0. That is why I decided not tu buy set of winter tires. And was happy with my decision. But this weekend I drove into montains. No, not Alps, just some 1000m altitide. When I wanted to park, there was unpaved road with some compacted snow on it. It was uphill. I was unable to get forward! Wheels were just spinning! And there were at least 10 other cars who drove on the same road without any issues! What a disappointment! When I tried to turn around, my car started to slip. Almost hitting a tree. I don't understand how these got so good reviews on tire tests in snow. So, even if driving to montains every 3 years, next time I'm buying real winter tires.
I've bought a set of Turanza All-Season 6 as my winter tyres. I live in a mild climate (Belgium) so we rarely see snow and if we do most of our roads are gritted anyways. I'm pleasantly surprised by the amount of grip these have in the wet. Yes you still get some wheelspin if you floor it, but that is to be expected of any tyre. Even with the couple snowy days we got, I had more grip than what I was expecting. When brake testing or even under accelaration I did not lose grip as early as I was expecting. Also steering feedback compared to the OE Pirelli PZero in the dry or wet seems to be almost identical. It still feels like a sporty tyre, so you can still have some fun with it. The tyre also doesn't give off any more noise than an OE tyre, even whith it's almost tractor like tread pattern. All in all, I would definitely by another set of these for my winter tyres if these where worn out. Highly recommend for milder climates!
Best all season tyers ! 10/10
I am back with a winter review,
The tire behaves just fine until around -5 degrees on dry/wet/ asphalt and are good on mud or a little fresh snow.
On old frozen snow however they will get you moving, but you don't feel that the tire grips in any way, these tires will allow you to move slowly in a mostly straight direction. Basically you give a little gas and hope that you move somewhere, every second on snow will sound nerve-wracking - still the traction control will rarely intervene. If there is ice the car will just slide randomly when braking but the tires allow you to always stop. If you keep the speed steady and slow it maintains direction without issues even in tight corners, when you lose control the car just slides and the only thing you can do is to stop it.
My car is RWD and I wouldn't really dare to go up a large hill with snow/ice with these tires unless absolutely necessary. The car slides/spins in place whenever one has to go up on an icy/snowy ramp from a full stop. They will get you up the hill if you insist, but if you don't have a lot of space around you will slide left-right and hit the edge of the road.
At around -10 degrees or lower it starts to feel too hard and slides as soon as you hit some gravel with ice/snow on a half cleaned road, brake a little harder and you slide like a sleigh. I don't know if I would want to test these without snow chains/socks at -20 degrees or lower and fully snow covered roads because the lower the temperature the lower the feel of grip in the steering wheel.
TLDR: I won't say it's a bad tire because it will allow you to move and stop just fine if you have space, otherwise the car felt like a sleigh going sideways more than I would have liked. I managed to get up and down on 20-30% ramps with snow, however in very tight spaces I was very lucky that I didn't hit the car because the car slid sideways a lot when braking. You have to also always pay attention when joining a main road from a snowy road, the rear tires will slide sideways.

Very noisy on Seat Leon ST, much louder than previous cheap tyres. Fuel efficiency has also dropped by about 5%. Possibly a good tyre if you're likely to drive in snow. Can't recommend.
My experience of these tyres is much as the review and others thoughts, generally very capable, however as time has gone on the performance has dropped particularly in the wet and cold to freezing conditions where as previously when much less miles on them I had full confidence driving in those conditions, I’ve reached the point of easing up rather more than I’d prefer, so it seems to me that after a certain amount of wear, the extreme performance of the tyres drops off quite sharply and after 18months and close to 18,000 miles the biggest disappointment with them is that they now need replacement as they have worn down to the point of just under 2mm with the outer edges well below that, I do about 1000 miles a month through the year and my previous Vredesteins managed close to 30,000 miles so I won’t be returning to these Bridgestones in a hurry, I know they have been replaced by another model let’s hope they are longer lasting
Bought them as replacement for old Michelin Alpin 5s, only to use them in winter, I live in mild climate, mostly city and some backroad and highway driving. I usually push the car way above legal limits on dry, have GY Asymmetric 6 for summer, those have no limit on average 170hp family sedan. Pirellis compare really good on dry, its just the tire to buy when you want to keep some of the summer tire feeling during winter, not really sporty, but comfortable and really showcase where the limit is on turns when around 0 celsius temperatures. In wet and rain they are little bit better than winter tire, but not as good as summer tire. Havent had any snow this year yet, but last weekend during ice storm, on clean ice they were surprisingly good.
On the downside, when temps drop below -5 C, they lose some dry grip, compound becomes too hard.
Bought these tyres as wanted something more robust to resist stone punctures that I was getting regularly with Conti Ecocontact 6s. Solved the puncture issue and they have better grip in the wet than the Contis, but the wear is terrible. 8000 miles and they are on the legal limit, what the hell! That is pure winter trye territory tbh. Poor overall.
Before these tyres I drove Kumho Solus all season tyres and was disappointed with them. They lasted 40 000 km, but grip was average on dry, bad on wet and when I tried them in snow I only managed to drive half way up a snowy road close to my house where I live.
After a lot of thinking and calculating once again I decided to buy all season tyres since buying two sets of premium winter and summer tyres is nowadays rather expensive (especially if you drive 35 000 km per year as I do). But this time I watched probably every possible review of every tyre ever made.
And that's how I ended up buying these Pirelli tyres. And they are amazing. I've driven them for about 2000 km. On dry roads almost every tyre will be ok, the question was how are they going to behave on wet roads and in the snow? I really pushed them to the limit in these conditions and they performed great. Grip in wet is amazing, tyres are giving me a lot of confidence. This year I went to the exact snowy hill to compare them with before mentioned Kumho tyres and they performed great, climbing up a snowy and muddy road without a problem.
They will probably not last as long as Kumho but we'll see.
All in all, I would definitely recommend these tyres.
Pretty impressed with these, but they do have some limitations. I replaced some Bridgestone full winter tyres with these and they don't have the snow grip of that full winter, which probably stands to reason, but it's not a huge distance off it. What they do well is limit the float that some winter tyres come with when the car moves around on the tread block, it's still there, but tolerable. Some winter tyres really are unnerving for that and I'm sure going to an all season has mitigated an amount of this.
As I'm using these effectively like a set of winter tyres, I'm not wholly bothered by dry grip in the higher temps, these aren't a patch on my Goodyear ays 6's, but they're ok for the dryer winter days that they will encounter. Comfort wise, they are pretty good. Road noise on the civic isn't that well suppressed and these tyres are definitely quiet compared to any thing else I've had on, and I've had a fair amount of brands on this car. One thing they do though is best described as sing to you when you really start to lean on them, not annoying, but noticeable.
I can't comment on wear as yet due to the lack of mileage. Overall, as a replacement for a premium winter tyres, I'm very happy. They get you going in the snow, stop you pretty well and they do inspire some confidence when you want to press on.

These tyres were on the car when I bought it. The elderly gentleman I bought the car from used them as winter tyres, which is fine, as we get very little snow in Hungary. As he mainly used the car in summer, they have had very little wear, and my greatest concern was that the rubber might be going hard and cracking. However, as is the habit here, he must have kept them in plastic bags in the garage during summer because they seem to be in great condition, in every way. Initially, I thought that they lacked feel but I now think that maybe more a consequence of over-light power steering the car has. I have driven only 2000km, which includes commuting to work in Budapest and two family holidays, before and then after Christmas, in quite miserable weather. In wet, light rain and mist, at just above freezing temperatures on B roads, these tyres have surprised me with how well they grip in the corners and stop. When the weather turned to freezing fog, I did not expect great traction on ice but I was also pleasantly surprised that I could still safely navigate corners and roundabouts, while watching a few others slipping and sliding. A light dusting of snow with some ice below, made me realise that they are not snow tyres. However, once on a major road the road is simply wet and cold and the tyres are working well. In the dry, they behave much like a summer tyre. My comparison tyre is the Hankook 4S2 fitted to my Renault. The Hankook seems much better in snow but not so much better in other conditions and it is a much newer tyre, both in age and design.
