Skoda Superb II combi 2.0 tdi cr · 205/55 R16 · 3 219 km
★★★★☆

Compared to the previous tire (Michelin Alpin 6), the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 3 offers more grip on snow.
I haven’t yet reached the limit in dry or wet conditions to provide an objective evaluation in those scenarios, but I notice that as lateral forces increase, the steering loses precision, accompanied by a clearly noticeable noise, typical of a winter tire “working”.
I believe this is due to the relatively narrow tread blocks. The car has also become more sensitive to crosswinds, as well as to road camber.
It is a safe tire, but not a particularly fun or precise one.

★★★★☆

Had the tires for about 6000km, although, I bought them as I bought the new car (Forester XT), so I couldn't compare it with the platform I already knew. Anyway, I've done about 3000km is some bad weather, snow, mountain passes, ice, and I couldn't believe how good the tires were! Yes, there is a new 4x4 beneath me, but even on slopes in deep snow when I tried to accelerate harder (playing to find the grip) the car just goes, didn't stop. On roundabouts cars in front of me were sliding (icy rain that night) but XT stayed planted (low speed of course). With nicer/hotter weather the rain came, and i was expecting a few (uphill) slips here and there (there are quite a few patches that are really steep and slippery concrete here) and the car was planted (I even stopped and continued at the middle of the slope to see how it would've coped, and it was like I was on level ground, not even TC kicked in, nothing). When I got the feel for the car I tried to push it couple of times just to try to see what's it like on the limit, and it's so hard to get any of the systems to activate (ABS, TC, a bit of slip). One time, since I come from 20 years of driving hot hatches, I did enter more aggressive into a long right hand turn during rain, and the back end stepped out but nicely, it wasn't snappy, totally controllable (I know it's not too much of a useful info for this type of car/application, but still). Either way, it can't all be down to the car, tires made the connection with the surface, and the smile on my face (surprise) was the same when I tried Super Sports fro the first time on my JCW more then 10 years ago. Anyway, now I'm thinking of buying Cinturatos for the summer!

These tyres are great.
The car feels confident on the curbs, yet comfortable and very quiet, even at 160kmph.
Tried them only on dry and wet and they feel much better compared to Hankook RS3 and Hankook Ventus Prime 4.
For braking I don’t feel any difference compared to the summer Hankooks i have, so that’s a good sign.
Can’t wait to test them in the proper winter conditions and i will come back with an update.

Volkswagen ID3 · 215/50 R19 · 1 609 km
★★★★☆

I equipped this winter tyre on a VW ID3 on the stock 19'' rims. In this dimension the tyre was available with PNCS (Noise reduction foam inside the tyre). The tyre is indeed very silent at low speeds, just as much as the stock (ev-optimized) summer tyres, which is remarkable for a winter. Tyre noise starts to develop from 100 km/h. The dry handling is surprisingly an upgrade over the summer OE Goodyear efficient grip. The rear end is less prone to losing grip under acceleration. The same upgrade is also present in wet conditions. The electric consumption is on the rise compared to the summer tyre, but this could also be attributed to the colder weather. I still have to see what it's capable of on snowy roads. It is simply an excellent tyre to drive with and it pairs very well with the VW ID3.
