Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Pirelli CINTURATO P7 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

After 50,000 klms I've experienced three flats/blowouts. So I bought 4 tyres and paid for 7. So 3 flat tyres in 4 years compared with 3 flats in the previous 40 years. Maybe I'm just unlucky? Whatever, I won't be buying Pirellis ever again.

I have been driving this Pirelli cinturato P7 for almost 6 months in this summer (nearly 8k kms), first impressions are higher comfort levels and less noise in long motorway cruising. I appreciate the dry grip (both hot and cold weather) and predictable handling and of course fun to drive around the corners while edging the grass next to the asphalt. Only downside is the wet grip especially in cold weather and rainy conditions. EU label has a "B" rating for braking on wet roads but braking is absolutely good and confident both in dry and wet. Tire wear is reasonable if you are driving only in the motorway but unfortunately uneven wear might be possible when tires are more pushed in the corners which I think is due to the RunFlat technology

★★★☆☆

I do a little bit of spirited on weekends and U-turns with skids, some burnouts and some drifts. But overall most of the miles have been on highways at 85 mph exactly. With 5% being in the city and 90% ish being on the highway with the other 5% pushing them till they scream. I wish they had more grip. I think due to the lack of a sidewall they are not super comfy and the wet grip is basically not there. The feedback is only through its screams. They seem to be pretty predictable. But they wore out for me super fast and it makes me kinda sad. I wish they were quieter. I wish I would not buy these but VSC I signed says they must be OE tires.
