I drive quite a lot mostly on motorways and I have the tires since 3 years already. I like them due to a lot of good issues which all others have also mentioned, however I am now thinking to change to another brand. The reason for that is that I had to order already 2 extra tires in the last 1 year. 1 was damaged last fall at the car maintenance during the change for my winter tires. The Pirelli was torn apart through the usual tool which they use to remove it from the rim. I was shocked when I saw it after 1 1/2 year of usage. In the maintenance they told me that they've never seen something like that. Last week when I let my winter tires change to the Pirelli again at another maintenance one of the tires had a bulge on the inner side. Either I received accidentally the 2 worst tires made by Pirelli or the quality is worrying. I just ordered another tire and it will be the last P7 Blue and will see what will happen.

Superb lifespan from these, over 22,000 miles on the front wheels of a Volvo C70 D5. This is about 33% more than I got from Michelin Primacy 3s previously. Dry grip was excellent and wet performance also very good. Not a match for a modern sports tire but very good indeed for a touring tire with that sort of treadlife.
