Pirelli CINTURATO P7 Reviews - Page 11

These tires were on the car 2011-2014 (four summers), giving ca. 25.000 km of range at mostly highway driving. I could probably have gotten another summer out of them with careful driving, but then I had a puncture which destroyed beyond repair one of the tires. What I noted about them is the very good dry grip, especially sideways grip through sharp corners. They were very hard, though, and as such do understeer on wet surfaces. This causes me to look for other alternatives for my new tires, with slightly better handling on the wet.

Very very silent tire. I never had more comfortable tires before. Filter all bumps and is very soft. If you are looking for comfort so I really recommend you. For drive till 170km/h is stabile for handling, but above 170km/h is tire not good. Of course it is about tire size, i have ballons 215/55 r16. On the road you have feel that you will trips out of the way, it is caused by very soft side on tires. Tire is doing something like voyage but laterally. This is only in high speed. If you want a drive like racer in !!!high speeds!!!! so buy other tires.

Best tire I've ever had. Quiet, comfortable and with good grip. I have own different brands and tires for the past 4 years: Goodyear Excellence, Nexen CP661, Bridgestone B391, Michelin Energy Saver, Yokohama A.Drive... nothing compares with the Cinturato P7.

These are what you would expect of Pirelli. They give excellent grip in the dry. In the wet i find them a bit numb. Im a highly experienced and qualified driver but i still find that i cant feel the limit of grip until its gone wrong. I have been caught out a few times because of the lack of feeling in the cold and wet. I have only used these tires on a car that is fairly new to me but after 6 months and 8k miles I'm still not able to feel it.

The front hold on till it cant hold anymore And then when they go they are beyond recovery. The same for the back in a rear wheel drive car they hold until the last moment and when they go they are beyond recovery despite my training. Through the corners they are good on smooth roads but the slightest bump and the car bounces and the traction control goes haywire. They don't give me the planted feeling i have had with other tires. On a motorway run they are smoothish but have to say there is a noticeable road rumble.

I think a lot of my problems are attributed to the RUNFLAT with regard to noise and bouncing but grip i doubt. I wont be putting these on again and i definitely wont be using run flats again. Nexen N6000 were my last tires and thought they were fantastic however i think it will be Uniroyal Rainsport 3's next.

one of the best performing tires I've had, but after around 28k miles I got trouble with unequall atrition what meant byuing new tires again...

Tires started off brill no complaints. Comfort, noise and handling were all rather good. After 10,000 miles I have 5mm left on them so not awful considering my driving style.
Unfortunately after about 8000 miles I can honestly say they provide little to no cushioning or compliance and are so noisy the car has been to the garage on more than one occasion to have bushings looked at as i couldn't comprehend a tire could make so much noise!!

Car handles dry and wet unless you really push and the feedback isn't bad so no complaints there, but the sidewalls do feel soft when pushing (annoying considering the lack of comfort!)

Pirelli have managed to create a fantastic tire for the first 5-8000 miles, from which they become non complaint over bumps but spongy when cornering!?

I cannot recommend these as for the price, I'd expect them to have the same characteristics throughout the tire life!

After 35000 miles the backs are about coming up for replacement but the fronts still have a good 5mm on them. It justifies the higher price for them as they last such a long time. They are very quiet and the grip in the dry is brilliant.

Lovely on a summer day - but tires are dead after 9500 miles - not happy

Have done 17,500km/11,000 miles on these fitted to a Golf GTD, rotated at 15,000km/9,300miles still less than half worn. Very quiet and comfortable compared to previous Bridgestone ER-300. Handle very well in dry and good in occasional wet (Brisbane,Australia). Good road feel all the way to 220kph/135mph, giving warning well before limit in dry. Recently did interstate run of 2,100km/1,300miles in 2 days in wet, no dramas. Definitely will look for these again when required.

When the temperature falls under 25 degrees Celsius, the grip disappears.

Excellent tires for the money.

Bought these part worn at 6mm and they have lasted 15k. Dry grip excellent wet grip decent and they were a fair price too at £40 fitted albeit part worn.
