215/60R18 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 – 3PMS Directional Performance Touring Winter

Category: Winter – Performance

The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 is a winter top performance tire designed for use on high end premium vehicles. They provide maximum safety and control in all winter driving conditions including snow and ice. Winter Sottozero 3 tires offer you the ability to handle any winter driving environment with confidence.

Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service. Run flat design keeps you moving after a pressure loss — requires a compatible vehicle and a working TPMS.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 98 means each tire can carry up to 750 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating H is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 210 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
  • Run flat tires are reinforced to support the car’s weight after losing pressure, so you can drive a limited distance to get help. They only work on vehicles designed for run flats — compatible suspension and a working TPMS — so they’re not a drop-in replacement on most cars.
  • 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
