A refined, premium all-season touring tire that majors on quietness, comfort and efficiency, with reassuring everyday wet and dry grip. Its main caveat is winter capability: it's fine for occasional cold snaps, but less convincing when there's proper snow on the road.

Do the lower profile tires have rim protection?
Some say Yes and some say No...
For example: 235/40/R18
February 21, 2023
Some do and some don't, I'm afraid I don't have a list of all the sizes though. I would suggest contacting Pirelli directly who should be able to answer. FYI rim protection based on size is very normal (and frustrating!)
What is the Wear like on these tires as it has not been rated when viewing the Tire Reviews?
January 10, 2022
You can see a wear test of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 in the 2021 Auto Bild All Season Test here. The test showed the SF2 has below average wear for the category.
Is this tire also the quietest on the test All season tire 2021 when we talk about internal noise also??? Tnx.
November 3, 2021
Unfortunately I've not seen any internal noise tests of the SF2. There is usually a correlation between comfort and internal noise.
Do they offer better performance compared to Micheline CrossClimate+ (or CrossClimate 2)?
August 11, 2021
This should be better than the CC+ and close to the CC2, check out our all season tire test for full details.
Owners most consistently praise the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 for being notably quiet, with many also reporting low rolling resistance and strong dry and wet grip for everyday driving. Comfort gets favorable mentions too, and a few drivers report slow wear over higher mileages. The main downside is handling feel: around one in three owners mention vague or unstable dry handling, and in winter conditions feedback is mixed, with a similar share reporting weak snow traction and a smaller but notable group citing poor snow braking and wet handling.

28000 miles and still going strong! Super tire, top handling on dry and wet conditions. Very good confort. Didn't have the opportunity to try them on snow or ice, but plenty of hot days (30°/40° C throughout the past four Summers) Fully satisfied! Next tires Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3.

Everyday drive tires, coming from a Michelin Pilot Sport 4 I used before, the first impression is the Pirelli lack precision and reactivity; however, always at a first glance, they are far more grippier. After more than one year, I can confirm the great grip in all the driving situations I encountered, through all the seasons and all type of roads, from southern Italy to Denmark. The Pirelli Cinturato SF2 is also comfortable in noise, and rolling smoothly, both characteristic essential for EVs. The only feature that is lacking here is the BSW.

I bought these for my bmw 328i and these are by far the noisiest tires I have ever had. I complained to the manufacturer who told me it was my fault for choosing this particular tire.
I agree. I will never choose a pirelli tire ever again.
Coming from Michelin cross climate these are more quiet all around, however really not good at all for any snow or ice.
For dry/rain hot/cold all is good and no complaints.
These are my first ever Pirelli tires, and I have been impressed with their overall performance. Excellent rolling resistance improves my mpg, and tread wear has also been very slow over my 23,000 annual mileage.. In my area I experience just a few days of light snow in an average year, although ice and wet conditions are more frequent, the the tires have performed up to my expectations. Having tried several other all-season tires in the past, eg Vredestein and Goodyear, the Pirellis are superior, and I recommend them for anyone with a leisurely driving style, and a climate that does not regularly produce much snowfall.

Run them for approx 1.5k mil.es on a Kodiaq.
Comfort is good and they appear to be grippy and i've noticed no road noise so far (Kodiaq is fairly quiet anyway)
However will be replacing them as soon as possible as they will not balance correctly. 2 different garages have tried and they have been rotated to get the least vibration, but the vibration seems to be getting worse. All this on a fairly new car with no issues on the previous tires.
I suspect quality control is poor or there is a problem with the sealinside technology.
Very good dry handling and braking. Most comfortable and quite all season I've ever driven. Wet behavior is not the best, but these tires are more predictable than Michelin CC and BF Goodrich AS. Snow handling is great but braking is average. I'm reccomending these tires for calm drivers looking for good comfort and fuel saving/better than some premium summer tires/.
Had these on my golf GTE since last autumn wanting an all season tire. I wanted one that was quiet and had low rolling resistance and this one fit the bill and received great reviews. Initially fitted to the front, thought I'd swap them to the rear to save the tread for the winter. BIG mistake as the handling became atrocious (as other reviewers have said, "felt like the side walls were made of jelly"). So they were great on the front but appalling on the rear when pushed a little.
Very nice and quiet tires used in wet and dry and in snow super results.In past i used Bridgestone Weather control A005 , Goodyear GEN3 these tires are good too.
Bought these as looking for a do everything tire, watches and read reviews, I’ve done 5000 miles and tbh cannot wait to get rid of them! While around town great during the winter months grippy on the cold tarmac, however give it a dry/wet day on a dual carriageway and the handling is awful, it’s as if the sidewalks are made of jelly any speeds in excess of 55-60mph and particularly on bends the tires really struggle. Appreciate there not summer but these were not what I expected unlike my wife’s Michelin climate + which are perfect, will be changing very soon!
