2022 Studded Winter Tyre Test

4th of 8 tyres

• Grip on asphalt, linear and fine steering feel on all surfaces.
• Average grip on ice, slightly worse on aquaplaning.
• Scorpion in Pirelli language means SUV tyre. Like the usual IceZero 2, it performs very well in the dry. This is the winter tire whose driving experience is closest to that of a summer tyre. the speed rating is also the highest in the bunch (H, 210 km/h). Pirelli boasts a nimble and natural steering response, exquisite stability under pressure and short braking distances on both wet and dry asphalt. On ice and snow, Pirelli has a slightly lower level of grip than the very best, but even then it excels with high driving pleasure through nimble steering and is able to enter the curves with easy co-steering rear axle.
  
  "IZ2" is for those who want the best driving characteristics possible and can imagine compromising on winter grip.
