Pirelli CINTURATO P7 - User reviews

Overall the tyre is not bad but not suitable for certain cars. Strengths: - relatively low rolling resistance - very good dry grip and good control in case of loss of grip - Good steering precision - decent longevity - good control in case of loss of grip in the wet - fairly easy balancing and no "run-out" of the tyre - decent resistance to aquaplaning - The biggest advantage of the tyres is the control of the car after losing grip in dry and wet (additionally it is easy to sense when a skid occurs) AND the grip on dry pavement. Drawbacks: - quite significant noise from the start - they make a distinct noise and this is due to the high hardness of the tread - the biggest disadvantage is that the tyre increases the car floating on ruts, also tested on a BMW E92. Compared to other tyres, the car simply starts pulling hard to the right and left on ruts. - Wet grip, first season ok, next season worse, always has a TC reaction when starting in the wet. - Unevenness damping is ok, but noticeably worse than on the softer Goodyears. - Due to the shape of the tread, the tyres increase the resistance to steering when manoeuvring and parking.

Pirelli P7 Cinturato is not a sensational one, but it's a good tyre you can feel confident with. I am very satisfied.

If you plan to change your tyres after three seasons for new ones, I recommend it. My tyres cracked in the tread grooves after 35k. The tyres are noisy, I compare them with yokohama winter tyres in driwe - I can't hear the difference. When it comes to grip on dry and wet surfaces it is VERY GOOD. these are the only pluses of these tyres. I'd also add that they look tragic on the wheel, the kind of potato chips you get on a big Fiat. Durability is the worst disadvantage of these tyres.

After two days from purchase a bulge showed up on the tyre! I only did 60 miles. It is a pity becausegenerally the tyre looks good and there happened to be such an unpleasant surprise. if it wasn't for that, Pirelli P7 Cinturatos would be a great choice.

Till 80 mphs Pirelli P7 Cinturato goes smoothly. At greater speeds noise level and stability should be at bigger lever. Significantly less durable than Continental or Michelin.

The Pirelli P7 Cinturato has some advantages and some disadvantages. It's certainly not suitable for more powerful and heavier vehicles. The BMW X3 35i is definitely not doing well even with a 4-wheel drive. Braking is terrible. After changing the tyres to winter Dunlops the cars started to brake normally. Grip in corners is normal, I rated shock absorbing as "below average" because these are Run Flats. The tyre is extremely durable. After 16000 miles of dynamic driving it still looks very good and I'm sure it will smoothly do twice as much. It is also relatively quiet. Unfortunately, I have a prejudice to ECO-labeled tyres. I recommend these tyres for less dynamic drivers and for lighter cars with less power, for powerful and heavy cars they are NOT recommended.

I have already driven several sets of different Pirelli tyres. From the P3000 to the P7 Cinturato. Probably using Pirelli is a matter of getting used to the brand. I had reservations about the last set I used, because after about 20,000 km I was "catching slippers" very easily. I bought a new set. When putting the tyres on, they were weighed and I experienced a shock: in order to balance them, I had to put on approx. 70g. weights. This has never happened before (15-20g was sufficient). I don't know why tyres up to 240 km/h require so much lead. I think these are the last Pirelli in my career. As for the tyre itself - I recommend it in the wet.

They have a rim guard which is pretty useless. Not as grippy as Michelin Pilot 4s.

The biggest surprise is that the tyres are considerably louder than the winter continentals. After 15,000 miles I'm thinking of replacing them as there is very little tread left. I drive a lot on highways, sometimes 160-200 so maybe that explains the wear. I advise against
