Description

Pirelli's Winter Sottozero 3 is an ultra-high performance winter tire designed for drivers of premium sports cars, luxury sedans and crossovers. 

  • Remarkable grip, braking and acceleration on snow, ice, etc.
  • A smooth and comfortable ride in cold weather with very little road noise
  • Excellent cornering stability and handling on snowy roads

Built to provide superior traction, grip and handling on snow, ice and wet roads, the Winter Sottozero 3 is an excellent premium UHP winter tire that performs well in the dry.

The Winter Sottozero 3, the third and newest generation of Pirelli's Sottozero tire line, is designed for drivers of high-performance sports cars and luxury vehicles who want to achieve a suitable ride for unpredictable and challenging winter weather conditions. The Pirelli Winter Sottozero3 provides excellent traction and handling on dry, wet, snowy or icy roads. It also offers very good driving comfort and durability. 

The Pirelli Sottozero 3 has an arrow-shaped directional pattern that increases the number of blocks and high-density sipes. These features result in improved grip and handling on snowy surfaces. In addition, the 3D technology sipes optimize stability for maximum traction and braking efficiency on dry or snowy surfaces. 

The optimized tread pattern gives the Pirelli Winter sottozero 3 tire a uniform tread pattern for greater rigidity and higher rolling and wears resistance, thus guaranteeing a longer life. 

Safety and high performance in all temperature ranges 

The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is also equipped with wide grooves that evacuate water more efficiently to reduce braking distances and the risk of hydroplaning, excellent road handling and better performance on wet roads for safe winter driving. 

Finally, with an innovative high-adhesion compound designed to remain stable in wide temperature swings, the Pirelli Sottozero 3 ensures optimal performance in all conditions. 

PMCtire Recommendations

Ranked in the top 5 in PMCtire's Winter Performance Car Tire category, the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 stands out for its excellent traction on snow and wet roads. This tire also offers increased resistance to hydroplaning and high durability.

Excellent experience! High quality Sottozero Pirelli winter tires delivered to my door. I was very impressed with the price of the tires. Will be purchasing my next set of tires from PMC

Great experience! Ordered a package mounted and balanced with new tpms sensors. Sensors synched right away. Few minor defects on the back of the wheel noted when I unpackaged them. Sent an email to customer service. They were responsive and easy to reach a reasonable solution.

Ordered 18" Fuel Vapours with 285 70r18 Toyo AT3's on a Friday. They were at my door the following Friday assembled and balanced. I had em installed that afternoon and had them in the mud while hunting the next morning. 100% would purchase from PMC again.

Best customer service in the game, hands down! After a manufacture would refuse to provide me with warranty support, PMCTire stepped in and gave me a discount on a new set of tires when they were not obligated to in any way. Highly recommend them! Every single time I need tires moving forward, I will purchase them from PMCTire.
