2024 Auto Express Winter Tire Test

4th of 7 tires

• The Pirelli finished fourth overall, matching its 2022 position, with strong handling results in both wet and dry conditions where it placed second fastest. Snow handling was competitive, finishing fourth but less than half a second off the lead time. Snow braking and traction results were mid-pack, though the tire showed good balance and predictable responses. Wet braking saw it take third, within a metre of the best time. The tire performed well in curved aquaplaning but was average in straight-line deep water tests. The Pirelli matched its fourth place dry braking with confident handling, showing good grip levels and stability. While recording the third-lowest cabin noise, its rolling resistance was second-highest in the test.

• Convincing good driving characteristics with short braking distances on snow and wet roads, quiet passing noise.
• Moderate mileage.
• The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 demonstrates good performance in winter conditions, particularly excelling in braking on snow and wet roads. It also offers a quiet ride, enhancing driving comfort. However, its moderate mileage might be a concern for those looking for long-term value. This tire seems well-suited for drivers who prioritize performance and comfort in winter conditions but may not be the best choice for high-mileage drivers.
