What makes the new “improved” version of the Cinturato tire different from the basic model is its enhanced braking performance, improved handling capabilities in the wet, longer treadlife, as well as reduced rolling resistance, which to a large extent was achieved by a new tread design.

The tire met my expectations as much as possible. In fact, it did it with great interest. It sticks well to the road both on dry and wet surfaces. It allows for a dynamic ride, while not disturbing a calm ride (it dampens bumps very nicely). I drove on these tires Polish, Western-European and Scandinavian roads and they proved to be great in every possible situation.

I drive a lot of cars and am always interested in what tires the cars I use have. Good handling and grip made me buy these tires for my private car. Previously, I used P6, which I was happy with, with very little wear and good properties, but after 5 years of use and driving over 60,000 I decided to change to a newer generation.
