I think that post 18 is showing the wrong information for the Sottozero 3. It should show C for fuel economy, B for rain, and 69dB for noise. Post 18 matches the Nokian ratings with B for fuel economy, F for rain, and 72dB for noise, but I'm unable to find the European ratings on the X-Ice Xi3 except in a size 195/65-15 which shows C for fuel economy, F for rain, and 71dB for noise. So, based on the European ratings, the R3 has slightly better fuel economy than the X-Ice and Sottozero 3 which are tied. The Sottozero 3 is much, much better than the other two in the wet, and the Sottozero is the quietest by a noticeable amount.
Also, I had the Sottozero 3s on my car last winter and they're back on for this winter. Compared to Blizzaks and Xice which I've had on other cars, they're distinctly quieter, have dramatically better steering response, and much better handling and braking in the dry and wet. They're not quite as good in snow and ice as the other two, but the difference is fairly small. I have no personal experience with the R3s.
Compared to the Model 3 stock Michelin Primacy MXM4, the Sottozero 3s are a little quieter, handle a little better in wet and dry conditions, totally destroy the MXM4 in snow and ice, and if there's a difference in efficiency to the MXM4, it's too small for me to notice it.
Here's the correct European ratings for the Sottozero 3 from Pirelli's UK website.
