    Feeling good, though a bit numb. The price for a well rounded, very comfy tire, that grips confident. No insecure feeling at all. But, of course, not for pushing it on the edge... remember, it's a touring tire.
    It is BMW OE equipment, I well consider to refit next time.

    Given 97% while driving a Volkswagen Passat B7 2.0 TDI 140hp Estate (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
    This February I felt the need to replace my old summer tires, they were some semi-decent noname tires that I came with the car when I bought it but, I thought I should treat her with the tires she deserves. I bought this tires about a month ago and have probably driven around 1000km. In this period, although short and insufficient to make a statement, I found the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2s to be some extremely good tires. I must admit, I haven't really had the chance to drive around in premium tires but these simply feel different, they are phenomenal in all conditions, the dry performance and braking are amazing, the wet performance and braking are also wonderful and to top it all off, the comfort and rolling resistance are incredible ( I have a relatively heavy car and still managed a meer 4.8l/100km with them; also, when driven in a more spirited way for about 120km I got somewhere around 5.6 average consumption...all this was extraurban driving of course, urban wise, they sit at around 6.5 in my case, which is still very impressive). Wear wise it's simply too soon to tell how they are doing but I m hoping around 40-45k km out of them, should they offer more, I'm going to be very impressed.
    In conclusion, I genuinely recomand this tires so far and shall I encounter any problems, I will come back with another comment.

    When driven in warm temps, you get good grip on a spirited drive, but when it comes to the wet, the tires don't give you enough confidence as they lose their grip. Wear is OK and expect from a touring tire, but if you like a spirited drive and live in the UK with a mix of climates, I would look else where before considering these.

    Given 93% while driving a Skoda (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
    I put on the tires only a few weeks ago and I drove almost 1500 km, the first impression, after the asymetric 6, is surprising, about 90 percent sport compared to the asymetric, 300 percent more comfortable, 500 percent quieter, as it should be a good tire. Regarding wear, it's clear that I can't have an opinion yet, but I think it will get enough kilometers.

    I bought them late in the spring and I was very satisfied with my purchase. But when the fall came, they became very hard, noisy and uncomfortable. Also, they are really bad in the wet for premium tires, loosing grip and antispin intervining very often. Wont buy again and I don't recommend them for wet conditions.

    Given 90% while driving a Honda HRV (225/50 R18) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
    This is my first time trying Pirelli after using Goodyear Assurance Triplemax2 to its limits. First impression - outstanding. Feels grippy both in dry and wet conditions, despite there's a little chance to slip over wet country roads when turning hard around 50mph, pretty decent for a touring tire. Relatively comfortable over bumps and less noisy - I'm currently fitted my HRV with 18" Civic wheels, it usually feels a bit firm on rough surfaces but after swapping the tires with this one it feels as comfortable as when I'm using the stock 17" wheels. Definitely will buy this again soon.

    Have Pirelli P7 C2 225/45 R17 for the first time, after Continental ContiSportContact 5 this is very good suprise, tire is very well balanced, very good grip on dry and wet conditions. I like the most that is very comfortable on the bumps and makes low noise which is not the case with Continental tires which I previous had. Pirelli P7 C2 are very, very good tires for every day normal driving and I highly recommend it.

    Given 90% while driving a Toyota Auris (205/55 R16) on mostly town for 1,500 spirited miles
    This tire is a very comfortable tire to drive on and very low on tire noise at motorway speeds which is nice. It has good feedback and is eager to steer in the corners when you want it to. The dry grip is decent but I must admit it could be better and a Contintental PC7 would probably smash this in that regard but its still very good. It has excellent wet grip better than I was really expecting to get. Despite the comfort and low noise the tire feels solid when you want it to aka when cornering hard and driving at high speeds. I think as an all round everyday this tire cannot be beaten especially when its price is reasonable if you want all out performance then a Contintenal PC7 is the way to go but if you would like 90% of that performance and better noise and comfort levels as well as being over 20% cheaper then this Pirelli P7C2 is the tire. It does everything really well with very limited compromise. Highly recomended.

    Replaced my standard fitted falken tires on my Toyota Corolla 2.0 Hybrid with these Pirelli's. This was my first time trying out Pirelli. Normally I'm used to Michelin and continental. (Primacy 3, 4, Crossclimate 2 and Conti wintercontact). I am rather surprised with the tires. They truthly offer a great drivingqualities. The dry and wet grip are really good, even when pushing it. My Corolla came on 18" rims, however the P7's offer a great silky ride in combination with very little noise intrusion into the cabin compared to the Falken and even Michelin and Conti. So far fuel consumption seems to be better as the falken that were fitted before. The only slight dissapointment is that I had expected more road feedback from a Pirelli, they steer lighter then first expected. Though the tire never leaves you searching for feedback or feels vague around the center point. Wear has to be experienced over time. So far I'm very pleased!

    After michelin pilot sport 4,these tires shows excellent behaviour in every category.i think that for my style of driving,these are even better.they have the same dynamic characteristics as the michelin but without the road noise.huge step ahead for pirelli,well done!

    3 years I was driving with previous model P7 Blue - and was very satisfied - especially with the sudden heavy braking on dry and handling on wet. I was really surprised how the car managed to do so good on the road on extreme situations. (i drive sports/aggressively) . bad tire damage force me to buy full set of this new model P2C7 - which has the same exceptional performance so far. I could expect even more. Still not tested in aquaplaning. Price of 130eur for this quality was very good bargain.

    Pirelli says that it has developed this tire with new technology. They produced a rubber that heats up quickly in cold weather and heats up late in hot weather. the handling braking is amazing, i like it very much, i was very satisfied after pilot sport 4.

    before them i had the Dunlop direzza in front and michlen sport 4 in the back ( because i had to change the fronts), and those feel less sporty and slightly less fun to drive. but the comfort of p7c2 is much better. hadnt tested them much in wet conditions but when it rained they performed well and in the dry also the grip was excellent so far they feel and drive as premium touring tires
