Pirelli CINTURATO P7 Reviews - Page 8

Given 53% while driving a BMW M235i (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 22,000 spirited miles
These are the tires that came on my 2015 M235i. The rear tires wore out and had to be replaced at 18,000 miles. The front will need replacing by 25,000 miles. This seems much shorter than the tire rating, and I was not doing burnouts or drag racing. This car is my wife's daily driver. My main complaint about the tire is road noise, harsh ride, and poor feedback. These are the run flats, and they are very noisy and tend wail at highest speed and transmit every road imperfection into the car as noise. You might expect this is the price to pay to transmit road feel to the driver, but these tires do not do that well either. I've replaced the tears with P Zeros and the noise has improved. We will see about the ride quality, feed back and handling when we replace the front tires with P Zeros in the next 3000 miles.

Given 86% while driving a Volvo V40 Estate (205/50 R16 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 easy going miles
Put these on my wife's Volvo V40 in replacement of some cheap and nasty Landsails which came with the car. The car feels much more secure on the P7s. Grip well in the wet as well as the dry. Not a high performance tire, but neither is the car! Ideal for easy going driving on motorway or country lanes.

I've had these tires on a Peugeot 406 Coupe 3.0i V6. Excelent tires in dry, very good on a wet road. Going to buy P7 Cinturato again, 100%!

Given 96% while driving a Mazda (205/55 R16 H) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
After the original new car tires of my MAZDA 3 Sport with extremely poor all roads surface traction. Replaced with this Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS(ALL SEASON) in June 2016. With over 44 years of driving experience, I can say it's worth the $$ so far. During that summer it had driven in hot summer sun and parked under well exposed sun. The reason for me to mention that is a good tire should not have rubber crack or rot under extreme conditions like my 2nd car Camry with the famous LOUSY Michellin Premier MXV4 with only 2-3 years of use which looks like a set of rolling time bomb on wheels.
Over all my Pirelli P7 tires performs as the way I expected a good tire should do. Characteristic road handling on dry road were great with good feedback for sharp cornering ability and straight forward tracking with confident. In wet driving also inspires good grips with secure feels. Tested in normal and strong down pour of that summer. Braking were also great with predicable distance as I expected from this car in top control manners. It actually rides quite good and quieter too. The OEM tires were very noisy and harsh.
I lives in the north eastern coast of North America, therefore snow comes for me to test in the winter of 2017. Normally I switch full winter snow tires. That option were not available due to all worn out from last winter usage. In the Feb. 2017 we had over 2 heavy snow storms and 1 huge blizzard in only 2 weeks. With over 60 cm+ of snow on the last one. Our city snowplows can't keep up with the heavy snowfall. I had to run some errands needs to travel on the messy highway and unfinished plowed city roads with only this Pirelli Cinturato P7 AS which wasn't designed to do on 6- 16 cm or more of messy highway and city street snow covered roads.The snow covered surfaces I encountered were not smooth, consisted with plenty of turns, slops, off highway ramps,stop and go, and some slight uphills as well.
What amazed me was this tire proves it can match my winter Blizzak on snow. The steering behavior felt safe with good confident. Traction to take off from full stop were amazing on snow too. Able to keep up with AWD and 4X4 vehicles. Braking on snow were reasonable too. Tire grips and stability on straight line and turns has good feelings of security (snow covered roads). I never expected this all season tire with treads that looks kind of smooth and doesn't look very aggressive can delivery this kind of overall performances.

Given 100% while driving a (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 8,000 miles
I am very impressed with these tires in the dry and wet , I've had these tires for about 3 years now, before I was recommended to use infinity, so had them on my ford mondeo mk 3 1800 cc estate, these are noisy tires and o.k.in the dry, but
once I was excellarating from a traffic island in the wet these tires just wouldn't grip the road, so I got rid as I could, then got some pirelli P7, they are definitely a lot quieter, and I have had no problems in the wet or dry,

Given 68% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giulietta (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 6,500 spirited miles
Bought a new car which came with these tires. In the dry they are great, i drive quite hard and don't experience any drift or feel as though the tire is braking traction. The wet however, they are possibly one of the worst tires ive had. Constantly braking traction, drift on the slightest bend and really does not fill me with confidence. Road noise is fine, a lot quieter than my usual tire (Michelin PS3) which I think I will be going back to when these need changing. I would recommend them to a friend however who drives a little calmer than me and has less power in their car.
Tire wear is much better than I'm used to, now have 6500 miles on this set, I'm usually changing the driven tires at 8-10k with the PS3 tires.

Given 54% while driving a Mercedes Benz C200k (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 15,000 average miles
Bought this tires as recommended by a tire dealer.
it's pretty good during the first 15k km, irregardless o dry or wet.
what follow next is nightmare, the rear tend to wear out so much faster for my ride and it' actually deform. 20k km and the rear is at its min thread rating mark, but still running good in the front with almost 50% threads.
i believe for my ride, it do stress the rear as im pushing 270nm of torque on the rear wheel plus the car is 1.5ton heavy. maybe that explain the wear and deform? ( idk)
Guess the comments regarding this tire that will deform overtime is true.
get rid of the tire and change to michellin ps4 with no regrets

I've had these on since my car was new I've went through 6 tires in total and covered 106000 miles at the moment they are the run flats too.... These are probably my favrioute tire for all round performance I've used that's why I keep using them.

Given 74% while driving a Alfa Romeo Giuiletta (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 6,000 miles
Trocken-Grip: Phänomenal! Wirklich griffiger Reifen bei Trockenheit. Nichts auszusetzen. Übertrifft meine Erwartungen.
Grip bei Nässe: Hält einiges an Power aus. Meine Giulietta bringt 200 PS auf die Vorderreifen, und da ist kein bisschen Durchdrehen der Räder oberhalb von 70 km/h, wenn man das Gaspedal richtig runterdrückt.
Straßenfeedback: Der Reifen hat ein ziemlich weiches Seitenteil, daher gibt es nicht wirklich viel Feedback. Man fühlt kaum, was vor sich geht.
Progressivität: Habe ich noch nicht wirklich herausgefunden. Ich habe einfach eine Menge Grip!
Verschleiß: Kann ich nicht viel drüber sagen. Ich habe die Reifen neu gekauft und nach 8.000 km ist kaum Abrieb erkennbar.
Komfort: Das ist die Stärke dieser Reifen! Sie sind leise, weich und im täglichen Stadtverkehr wirklich gut zu fahren.
Wieder kaufen: Wenn ich nicht nach einem sportlicheren Reifen suchen würde, definitiv. Habe aber größere Räder gekauft, also brauche ich andere Reifen. Habe gerade die Brigdestone Potenza S001 gekauft, ein etwas steiferes Rad für sportlicheres Fahren.
Der Pirelli Cinturato P7 ist für Fahrer, die ab und zu sportlich fahren, aber auch einen Reifen benötigen, der mit langen Fahrten und allen Wetterbedingungen klarkommt.

Given 79% while driving a Volkswagen Scirocco 1,4 TSI 160hp (235/40 R18) on mostly motorways for 15,000 spirited miles
Diese Reifen waren von 2011-2014 an meinem Auto (vier Sommer), und haben etwa 25.000 km gehalten, die meisten Fahrten auf der Autobahn. Ich wäre mit ihnen bei vorsichtiger Fahrweise wahrscheinlich noch über einen weiteren Sommer gekommen, aber dann hatte ich ein Loch in einem der Reifen, der sich nicht reparieren ließ. Was mir an ihnen aufgefallen ist, ist der sehr gute Halt bei trockenen Wetterbedingungen, insbesondere der Seiten-Grip in scharfen Kurven. Sie sind allerdings auch ziemlich hart, und untersteuern daher auf nassen Straßen leicht. Aus diesem Grund suche ich nach anderen Alternativen mit einem etwas besseren Fahrverhalten bei Nässe.
