Pirelli Cinturato P7 - Long Term Review

A semi high performance tyre that can handle all your day to day driving, plus a little fun!

Grant drives a Renault Megane RS 265 Cup Car.

We cought up with Grant (on the side of the road before work) and chatted about his experiences with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 tyre over the last 10,000km.

If you have put some K's on the Cinturato P7 we would love to hear it. Comment below and let us know your experiences.

Previously Grant ran the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on the Megane:

Cheers!

Just purchased a set for my BMW E61 535xi in 245/45/18. Couldn't pass up the deal and so far have been exceptionally happy with my tourings gripping performance 👍🏼.

I have a set of these P7 Cinturato All Season Plus 2 on my 2014 Volvo S60 T5 and so far, it's been great! I've driven only 13, 000 miles so far and the tread depth hardly went down. Summer/dry performance is very good. The tires are grippy around corners (I have not fully tested the capabilities of this on a highway on ramp because, well, I don't feel confident and I'm not Lewis Hamilton). There is very low noise as well and the ride feels smooth. Wet performance is also very good. Tires still feel very grippy even in the wet (again, I have not fully tested the limit of this and don't plan too). But the snow performance I'd say is the weak point of this tire. There isn't as much grip as I'd like, and I feel like it struggles a little in the snow.

I've already completed 45, 000 kms on my P7 and still can do 5k more. I love the dry/wet grip and also the tyre wall is strong enough for Indian road conditions.

Just ordered a set of these now for my 2020 A Class. I've got 35, 000 mile old all-seasons on the back, a 15, 000 mile old summer tyre on the front left, and 22, 000 mile old 'budget' Hankook winter tyre on the front right... 🤣 fair to say external noise and ride quality isn't amazing right now - really looking forward to these tyres and hope they make a big improvement

I’m extremely happy with my Cinturato P7 tires on my ‘09 Camry. They are very comfortable and quiet on the road. It gives me confidence on the rain as well.

I ran them for almost 30, 000 kilometers already and still have a lot of tread left. My current wear rate is at 1.0mm per 15, 000 kilometers. That’s with checking of pressure every 2 weeks and 5-tire rotation every 5, 000 kilometers.

I would describe my driving as very smooth and calm.

I would absolutely get another set of these again and for my other sedan, which it will be replacing the Michelin Pilot Sport 3.

i got them 1 year ago for my bmw x4 g02 suv, super tires for daily aswell, wet conditions the car is amazing, i can do 180kmh plus in heavy rain with no issues, and ive lately took the car on the nurbugring and it handled decent considering how much they cost and the weight of my car 2, 2 tons

Wth are his previous tyres they sound amazing

Just purchased 4 used tires 225/45/18 but they are DOT 24 and they still have white markings on the thread so they're almost new. I paid 400eu, new are 150 piece for them, new are 150 piece.

Would you recommend this for a sports car, high speed & highway conditions? Dry. - wet, extreme heats... ?

2014 VW Passat 1.8 bought new. I got 72, 000 miles perfect wear in my P7 AS_ plus. Great tire except in the wet.

Now, next set of P7 as plus II wear is fantastic 25, 000 miles and FAR superior wet traction and EXTREMELY quiet.

OEM tires were Conti contact pros. I can speak for anyone else's experience, but I do 5, 000 rotations, check and maintain cold tire pressures every couple of weeks.

I always get an alignment immediately after getting a new set.

I've usually gotten Michelins on my other cars. To each his own, but I've been extremely satisfied with my P7's, especially these AS plus II's

[punk_rock_music_teacher]

I run these on my 2008 Accord EXL V6 in the U.S.

[RayRay_AUS]

What were the previous tyres they compare the P7s?

[mirandacosgrove]

These tires only lasted me about 12k miles. Normal driving conditions in California.

[Command_Execute]

These tires are absolute rubbish. Lasted 15k miles before they were shot. Don’t drive these in the wet or snow unless you want an accident. There are much better offerings. Especially for the price.
