How good are Petlas winter tyres on ice?

Automatically reviewed answer

Hello, I would judge Petlas winter tyres by the specific model’s ice-test results, rather than the brand name alone. The mountain-and-snowflake marking (3PMSF) confirms a minimum level of snow performance; it does not by itself establish strong braking performance on ice. The EU tyre label has a separate ice-grip symbol based on an ice-braking test. If ice is your main concern, I would look for independent ice-braking results for the exact model and size before choosing. On icy roads, reduce speed, leave plenty of space and avoid abrupt braking, acceleration or steering; postpone the journey if possible. Which Petlas model and tyre size are you considering?
