is the Pirelli Cinturato P7 (P7C2) 2020 model being tested in these recent tire tests? Pirelli's naming is confusing as is without further ambiguity from the journals and reviews. On the pirelli tires page on this website you can find Pirelli P7 (2009 review for pre-2009 model), Pirelli CINTURA/TO P7 (2010-2020 tire launched in 2009), Pirelli Cinturato P7 Ecoimpact (updated 2014 model review), and that is only the P7 range (excluding the Blue variant which expanded the range more so than replacing the CP7). Fortunately the 2020 model has a different thread design to help distinguish.
I realise the P7, Cinturato P7, and the Cinturato P7C2 are three different tires, but it took me a while :P
As far as I'm aware, the P7C2 hasn't been in any tests yet.
Good job in working out the Pirelli naming, they did this with the PZ4 and it was frustrating then too. I'm waiting to see what the industry dubs the new P7C, but I imagine P7C2 is a good guess
that's a quick reply! thanks. I was told March would have brought a new batch of P7C, but with the P7C2 becoming available I now wonder if the old P7C has been updated once again. who knows what will be of the P7C Blue.
yes, one would think that adding PZ# to their p zero line would be easy enough. what they did with the sottozero and now p zero winter (no number) range is possibly even more confusing.
considering the P7 range extends to All Season (I,PLUS, PLUS II and all possible permutations) variants for the NA market, and Scorpion Verde are practically the same summer tire but for SUV, I am surprised that they can make a profit.
