I have these on my trip up to Trysil in Norway, and they have performed very well. They started out in South of France at 20C which hurt a bit. But they performed there as well as on the autobahn. In Sweden and Norway in snow storm and down to minus 22 C they were great. We Saw a few cars struggling to get up some hilly road, but no problems with the Taycan. I guess the heavy weight and the Pirelli winters on 4 wheel drive, were a great combination.For my winter requirements I find the Pirelli PZero Winter NF0 perfect. High enough speed rating to make winter autobahn enjoyable and safe. Have driven as far north as Tromsø in Norway and lapland in Finland with no issues. And they even make sense in the much milder Irish winters where temps are lower than 7c – but more with freezing rain/ice than snow.
For sure they are not as specialised as the Hakkapelitta R3 – but I for one am delighted such a "high performance" winter all rounder as the Pirelli is available (and certified).
On very compacted snow and icy conditions I envied a Mercedes EQS with Hakkapelitta R10 studded tyres. We drove some icy roads together. He had such a grip level, while my traction control flashed a lot. They are however only allowed in the Nordic countries so a bit expensive for such limited use.
