πŸ’‘ Is the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 255/45R19 a Good Tire?

The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 255/45R19 is a winter performance tire designed for luxury sedans and sport coupes. It delivers strong cold-weather grip and responsive winter handling thanks to its directional tread pattern and specialized winter compound. Ride comfort is good with controlled road noise, though tread life is shorter than dedicated touring tires due to its performance focus. Rated Good by TireRack based on 273 consumer surveys, it excels in winter conditions but lacks the year-round versatility of all-season alternatives. Currently priced from $307.03, it is available through major online tire retailers.
