Specifications
PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3
PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 245/35R21 96W XL — quality All season tyre from PIRELLI. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Below average. The PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 is rated D, under the middle of the scale. Rolling resistance runs a little higher, so fuel use creeps up slightly. Usually that's the trade-off for stronger grip or longer tread life.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Strong. The PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 carries a B rating, one step below the top. Wet braking is still short and dependable — the difference from a class A tyre is small and only really shows up in hard braking on soaked roads. For everyday driving in mixed weather it's plenty.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Slightly above average. At 72 dB the PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 is a touch louder than the middle of the scale. You'll notice a bit more hum at speed, though it stays well within legal limits and rarely bothers you on shorter trips.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO 3 carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
PIRELLI is a premium class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
