CINTURATO P7 BLUE

<p>These are the tyres supplied with the car. They have always given me enough grip whatever the road conditions. I find the car very relaxing to drive when pottering along, it gets a bit vague when pushing it a bit harder, but it is an Audi A4 avant sport, not an S-line. I do find the road noise to be quite high on rougher surfaces, I will change to Continentals when the Pirelli’s have worn out, hopefully they will be quieter.
They seem just as grippy as when they were new but they have got noisier and not quite as stable when the road has a bit of camber to it as they have worn, they are down to 4mm on the front and 6mm at the rear after 29500 miles.</p>

It’s very bad when it’s over 20-25 Celsius degreeses. The tyre starts to swim. Driving in wet is terrible- actually the worst part is driving on wet asphalt (when it’s raining while you’re driving, it’s not that bad, as when it stopped raining, but the asphalt is still wet).

The Grid is good in dry dry enviroment. The tyre is confortable and low rolling resistence. My average fuel consuption dropped 1l/100km compared to my previous tires (ContiSportContact5). It's a very good tread life and it wear very slow compared to my previous tired.
Now the bad part. The tire in the wet has very low grip!! I have to be very carefull with the "gas pedal". My car is Rear wheel drive, so in the wet it's all the time oversterring. And the control traction is always on when i push the "gas pedal".
The tires are extremelly noice even compared to my previous ones (ContiSportContact5).
If you drive your car in wet or semi-wet conditions AVOID this tired!

Very good tyre for Dry enviroment. It appear to wear nicely and "slow".
The tyre produces to much noise and at certain speeds becomes annoying.
With the wet road it kind of dangerous, my car is RHD and I have to be very carefull with trotle. Tends to oversteer in wet roads.

the original OEM tyres were: Pirelli PZERO ROSSO 225 50R W and I was really shocked but the wear lifespan 53'000[km] and for a Pirelli it's really a record; ahhh the performance was awesome. The shop has given to me the new version (P0 Rosso is out) and I was a bit worry for the "green" design.
The new Blue Cinturato has keeping the promises of the old one; may a bit soft, in particular with the holes in the tarmac, but the pushed the limit of handling so high that, it's difficult be in troubles.
Only when temp drops below 5[°C] the grip start to be not very good, but at that temp probably I've already the winter set.
