Pirelli CINTURATO P7 - User reviews

Sort:
lolek
3.80
I have already driven several sets of different Pirelli tyres. From the P3000 to the P7 Cinturato. Probably using Pirelli is a matter of getting used to the brand. I had reservations about the last set I used, because after about 20,000 km I was "catching slippers" very easily. I bought a new set. When putting the tyres on, they were weighed and I experienced a shock: in order to balance them, I had to put on approx. 70g. weights. This has never happened before (15-20g was sufficient). I don't know why tyres up to 240 km/h require so much lead. I think these are the last Pirelli in my career. As for the tyre itself - I recommend it in the wet.

Overall the tyre is not bad but not suitable for certain cars. Strengths: - relatively low rolling resistance - very good dry grip and good control in case of loss of grip - Good steering precision - decent longevity - good control in case of loss of grip in the wet - fairly easy balancing and no "run-out" of the tyre - decent resistance to aquaplaning - The biggest advantage of the tyres is the control of the car after losing grip in dry and wet (additionally it is easy to sense when a skid occurs) AND the grip on dry pavement. Drawbacks: - quite significant noise from the start - they make a distinct noise and this is due to the high hardness of the tread - the biggest disadvantage is that the tyre increases the car floating on ruts, also tested on a BMW E92. Compared to other tyres, the car simply starts pulling hard to the right and left on ruts. - Wet grip, first season ok, next season worse, always has a TC reaction when starting in the wet. - Unevenness damping is ok, but noticeably worse than on the softer Goodyears. - Due to the shape of the tread, the tyres increase the resistance to steering when manoeuvring and parking.

I have been using the tyres for a year and have already replaced two of them because of bulges. On one occasion I drove the front wheel onto a curb which was not very high and which had a slight curve in it, and on another occasion I drove the rear wheel into a pothole. Each time a bulge appeared on the outside of the wheel and the tyre ended up in the bin.

I have no idea why Pirelli, got BMW approval.... I’ve said ‘Bye!’ to Run Flats due to a very hard suspension. I am unpleasantly surprised after changing winter to summer tyres. Pirelli P7 Cinturato is very loud and noisy while speeding – like driving a van. Looks like a balloon: sidewalls are round. As for the tracking capabilities – everything is ok apart from the noise while approaching a band. Very good on wet ground, soft in general, comfortable on bumpy road and very noisy when braking. Not recommended!

Till 80 mphs Pirelli P7 Cinturato goes smoothly. At greater speeds noise level and stability should be at bigger lever. Significantly less durable than Continental or Michelin.

When buying I was attracted by the price of Pirelli P7 Cinturato. Driven mostly outside the city, long runs. After summer season no signs of wear.

After two days from purchase a bulge showed up on the tyre! I only did 60 miles. It is a pity becausegenerally the tyre looks good and there happened to be such an unpleasant surprise. if it wasn't for that, Pirelli P7 Cinturatos would be a great choice.
