Methodology & Configuration
Scoring Process
  1. Collect Test Data: Gather results from professional tire tests across multiple publications. Minimum 1 test(s) required.
  2. Normalize Positions: Convert test positions to percentile scores using exponential weighting (factor: 1.2).
  3. Apply Recency Weighting: More recent tests are weighted higher with a decay rate of 0.95.
  4. Incorporate User Reviews: Factor in user review data (minimum 5 reviews). Weight: 15%.
  5. Bayesian Smoothing: Apply Bayesian prior (score: 7, weight: 1.5) to prevent extreme scores with limited data.
  6. Calculate Final Score: Combine all components using normalization factor of 1.1. Max score with limited data: 9.5.

Top 3 Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde Reviews

Given 41% while driving a Opel Astra H 5T 1.8l (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 10,000 easy going miles
These tires replaced a set of Falken ZE310 Ecorun tires, so I will essentailly compare them with those. Please note that the Pirellis were 20€ more per tire at the time of purchase.
Positive: The Pirellis do have good dry grip and good wet grip in temperatures above 15°C. Also, the fuel usage of the car seems to be ever so slightly lower. However this could also be due to a colder summer than last year and therefor less driving with A/C turned on.

Negative: The wet grip in temperatures below 15°C is poor, it feels like driving on rocks. The tires tend to slip when accelerating, even more so if there are people sitting in the back seats. Compared to the Falkens, the feedback of the tire is poor, it feels like driving on a sponge. Also the tires are very noisy, to an extent that multiple passangers at different times were concerned about the cars wheelbearings failing (they were not). The wear is higher, after one summer about 15.000km the front tires are at about 4,5mm and the rears at 6mm. The tires startet at slightly more than 7mm. For comparison, the Falkens were at 4.5mm all around when they were replaced due to damage from a metal piece on the road. At that point, they were on the car for 4 summers and about 40-50.000km.

The tires will be used for another summer with the rears at the front and other way around. They will probably be worn after and replaced with something less expensive. At least on this instance, more expensive does not mean more qualitly in a product.

tldr: I do not recommend this tire.

Given 81% while driving a Toyota Vios (185/60 R14) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
This is my second set of Pirelli P1s. It got good handling compared to other eco-grade tires. The sidewall is thick, it feels stable and solid while cornering. But this also comes with some bumpy feelings when driving on uneven roads. It is recommended to lower the cold tire pressure to 33-35 PSI, it would bring a more comfortable ride.

The wet grip is also excellent and feels safe in heavy rain conditions compare to Continetals' eco-grade tires. However, the road noise is relatively louder compared to its Japanese competitors (like Yokohama's ES32), this would be easily noticeable during highway driving conditions.

Since I don't care much about tire noise and will focus more on handling performance, I will still buy it on my next tire change.
If you are looking for a tire in the subcompact category that is sportier and has good wet performance. I think it would be a good choice.

Advantages: Good dry/wet grip and excellent handling
Disadvantages: Loud noise at high speed, a little bumpy on the uneven surface

Given 80% while driving a Fiat 500 (175/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 800 spirited miles
Very comfortable drive, though a little louder than my previous Goodyear tires. The grip when cornering in wet and dry conditions is great, and so far the ABS hasn't kicked in at any point. Driving in ice has so far been fine, and I've had no problems with wheel spin as I have previously in deep mud with the Goodyear's. For a city car these tires are brilliant, and keep up with the Fiat 500's sporty little engine. I can rather spiritedly whip around corners and keep absolute control of the vehicle in no small part due to these tires. I haven't really noticed a difference in fuel economy as of yet. Driving on main roads, I feel I have a much smoother ride than I had previously. I can't say for long term use as of yet, but I'd definitely buy again if they stand the test of time. It's a tire that feels like it's made for the Fiat 500.

Given 74% while driving a MINI Cooper (175/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Good for an eco tire The dry grip was as expected, a mini has fairly balanced handling and the tire performed well. The longitudinal grip wasn't as strong as I expected with the car having no difficulty in getting a little whee spin. However the lateral cornering grip far exceeded my expectations, the tire grips very well for an eco tire, under high load the tread blocks feel firm, the sidewall squish is predictable and road feedback is good. Same under wet conditional, longitudinal grip isn't as good as I expected however lateral grip is far better. Under very wet (heavy stormy) conditions, the tire shows it isn't a PS4 or a Quatrac 5. Road noise is good as well, not EV foam filled tire good, but still good. The tire is lasting well and as comfortable as expected. For an eco tire, the tire performed well.

Given 84% while driving a Hyundai Getz (155/65 R14) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Fit a couple of used ones in the front and i must say these tires was a pleasant surprise. Never had driven Pirelli tires before and i was a bit hesitant about them. Even-though they were used (but in decent condition) the dry grip was very good and the dry braking was absolutely astonishing, despite the small size i used the car was braking in very short distances! Fuel efficiency improved too as i expected. Solid rubber that will do the job just fine. I recommend them!

Given 80% while driving a Volvo S40 1.9D (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Far better grip on both dry and wet roads than the previous Hankooks and Barums I had. Better in the dry than the wet, but still far superior to budget and mid range at a reasonable price. Slightly noisy but not terrible.

Gripped very well in all conditions when new........ after 20,000 miles dry grip is very poor with screeching on roundabouts etc wet grip seemed fine until last night when it just would not stop aquaplaining they have 4mm on tread on the fronts and 7mm on the rears, however i will be replacing them this month as i have lost faith and will be going for Michelin CrossClimate+

Given 84% while driving a Fiat 500 (185/55 R15 H) on mostly town for 3 average miles
Great city driving, easy going tire. For a small work commuter as Fiat 500, even with its revy engine it performs splendidly. Great stability and grip on highways, low-noise, low-rolling resistance. It's definitely worth trying. In comparison to Michelin Energy Saver, Pirelli offers more grip and confidence with literally no drawbacks for a much better price. Even pushed hard in corners it loses grip in a predictable manner which is surprising having in mind it is ordinary touring tire. I’m simply stunned they remain so unknown, with so few OEM approvals but even better for a user, maybe that is why Pirelli can offer it with a much better price than the premium competitors.

They fitted those tires in my company car, as a replacement of the Dunlop StreetResponse 2. Overall this is an average tire. Grip on dry is average and on wet is bad. Handling in general is not for spirited use. I found them very bad in comfort too. In big bumps they were very hard. Not recommended.

Very good wet grip, almost no wheel spin on hard acceleration, and difficult to get abs to kick in during hard braking. Comfort is good as is noise
Handling is very good especially in wet conditions and the tires look nice.

Given 80% while driving a Suzuki SX4 1.6 LITRE PETROL (195/65 R15 H) on a combination of roads for 50 average miles
changed after 70.000 KM, very good value for money, offers a good balance between comfort and grip , so it's suitable for both city and highway driving , good braking as well, the only bad thing is that after about 20K KM it becomes harder and louder but, however, it has low wear and long life.
overall, excellent tires , recommended for normal everyday use, very good value for money.
i didn't buy them again because mine were made in Italy but now only made in Turkey is in the market and i'm not sure if it would be the same quality.

Volkswagen (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 45,000 average miles
I went for these tires because they had a great review and I didn't get any disappointment from them. They have served me very well for 3 years and 6 month. These tires were used to their maximum and they still have life left in them. I travel a lot around Europe and my car is vw Touran 2.0 tdi se with 140 bhp. On German motorway I hit 185 km/h and they responded very well. This year on August to be more precise I hit 160km/h with the roof box and at one point I had to brake quite hard, the grip was still preforming well.
They are soft tires so on the Cerne ring you will notice a bit bit side ways. In wet thy preform amazing. Fuel consumption, didn't notice major difference. In all they are not loud tires.
The tires have a very good value for the money.
My next tires should be Michelin primacy 4, just to compare them to Pirelli.

I was ammazed by this tires performance, especially on the wet surfaces. Excelent grip but most important amazing on braking, no matter if you brake hard on wet or dry surface.
