Tread wear so far is good for the aggressive driving style of mine. They hold onto corners very well and grip great under hard acceleration. Wet conditions don't really phase them either, resistant to hydroplaning at very high speeds. Snow traction was better than my previous Michelin X-Ice x2 and Ice grip was good for non studded tires. 2013 Volvo S60 T5 modified including Hilton Tuning Stage II + tune 358hp and 411tq at the crank.

Tires are good. I like them. I bought them for Ford Mustang 2017. But they are too weak.. side wall is weak... easy do damage. Actually it's my fault but when I touched road border while I'm parking with Continental Tires I got just couple scratches. But with Pirreli all season and winter tires got cut side damage... need to buy new tire. Not secure from barriers damage...

I could not be happier with the Pirelli's Sottozero 3. It was hard to find winter tires for my 2020 Mustang GT with the Performance Pkg. The size is not very popular, and one expects snow tire performance (noise and lower performance). Not these! In dry conditions are as good as summer tires, and in wet, slushy and snowing conditions obviously they outperform. One feels secure and in control. Do not make the mistake of thinking they will be infallible though, with precipitation, any tire, specially with rear 460HP, will need moderation. I would not recommend any other winter tire for your Mustang 5.0.

I was able to use in the first winter storm. Awesome tires and handled extremely well.As far as tread life don't know cause these are winter tires and I will be buying the all season tires after winter. I do recommend these tires.

I purchased these Sottozero 3's because I have been a loyal fan of the brand for some time and Simple Tire had an amazing sale on Black Friday coupled with a rebate from Pirelli. As this was the first winter my new car would be subjected and not owning a garage, I wanted to be sure that it would be well-equipped for whatever Mother Nature decided to throw at it. Snow has been rather sparse in Chicago thus far (unseasonably dry), but I have had the opportunity to utilize these tires for their intended purpose a few times. Traction is amazing in either rain or snow. Even dry road performance has been incredible. As most of these tires are working best at 45 degrees or colder, they have performed admirably thus far. I couldn't be more confident about the purchase. Hopefully they will last multiple seasons!
