Performance Analysis

Pirelli Cinturato AllSeason - Official Image

The Pirelli Cinturato AllSeason shows mid-pack overall performance with early standout results but inconsistent outcomes as competition evolved. It delivers occasional podiums (1/10 in 2014; 3/10 and 3/8 in 2015; 3/6 in 2017 wear test) and a respectable 11/51 in a winter overview, indicating balanced capability across seasons. However, multiple 2016-2017 tests place it 7th-9th, with notable deficits in dry braking/handling, snow performance, and efficiency/value. Overall, it lacks a consistent top-tier niche and tends to trail newer rivals in critical safety metrics.

Only good in the snow when new, after 4mm the performance drops. Too expensive for the mileage provided, and high rolling resistance. Conditionally recommended.
