The Pirelli Cinturato P7 (P7C2) is a premium summer tire offering stable performance on both wet and dry roads, ensuring reliable driving dynamics. It features a direct steering response, providing clear feedback for enhanced control. The tire is equipped with adequate safety margins for hydroplaning, adding to its robust safety profile. Notably, it excels in comfort, offering a smooth ride, and benefits from low rolling resistance, contributing to better fuel efficiency. However, it comes at a higher price and displays marginally longer braking distances in dry conditions.

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 demonstrates strong performance in wet and dry conditions, with notable wet braking and handling capabilities. It provides reliable dry braking and handling, indicating a well-rounded performance. The tire has good hydroplaning resistance, enhancing safety in wet conditions. While the noise level is moderate, the rolling resistance score indicates a good balance, favoring fuel efficiency.

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 showcases strong performance, especially in dry conditions, closely trailing the leader with minimal differences. While it excels in handling and braking, it ranks slightly lower in wet conditions and hydroplaning resistance. Its noise level is commendable, though not the quietest, and its rolling resistance suggests moderate fuel efficiency. This tire is ideal for drivers seeking a sporty driving experience without compromising much on comfort and efficiency.

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 demonstrated strong performances in dry braking and handling, indicating dynamic steering capabilities. While it provided satisfactory results in wet handling and hydroplaning resistance, its wear rate areas of concern, especially considering its higher price point. The tire's rolling resistance is also higher than ideal, which could influence overall vehicle efficiency.

Positive: Performance balance. Dry performance. Wet performance. Comfort. Environment.
Negative: Hydroplaning resistance.
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 has been seriously upgraded, and now it does not have any prominent issues at all, not counting its relatively weak lateral hydroplaning resistance. We can only congratulate the Italian tire maker.

This Pirelli tire is good on dry pavement, but it has a less-than-perfect wet grip, which negatively impacts braking distance and handling performance. At the same time, the tire has strong hydroplaning resistance.Its tread life is reasonably long, the weight and fuel consumption are low, but the emission of harmful particles is high.

Very low rolling resistance. Low noise emission. Disappointingly poor results on wet and dry pavement (the main unpleasant surprise was a very long wet braking distance).

Short braking distance and very good handling performance on wet pavement (quickly responds to the driver’s actions). Very good lateral hydroplaning resistance. Predictable behavior on dry pavement.

Short braking distance on dry pavement. Strong lateral hydroplaning resistance. The tire ensures crisp steering response on wet pavement (even though it did show the longest lap time). Relatively weak lateral stability on dry pavement. Relatively rough ride.

Positive: Excellent handling and reliable emergency behavior on dry surfaces. Low noise level. Good ride comfort. High resistance to aquaplaning.
Negative: Long braking distances and poor wet handling.

Positive: best safety reserves for aquaplaning, harmonious handling with good balance, short wet and dry braking distances.
Negative: moderate mileage / economy.
Verdict: good .

Top grade on dry roads. Weaknesses in the wet.

Good on dry roads. Relatively high fuel consumption. Good on wet roads. Relatively high wear.

Excellent handling response and short braking distance in any conditions. High lateral hydroplaning resistance. Falls short of some of the competitors in terms of environmental performance and ride comfort. Very good (recommended by Gute Fahrt).

Positive:Excellent dry braking, low noise levels, good subjective handling in the dry and wet.
Negative: Average dry and wet handling and long wet braking, average comfort and high rolling resistance.
The new P7 C2 is a great update to the P7, with an excellent dry grip and sporty handling. If the wet performance was a little better it would have been near the very top of the test.

Positive: Excellent dry braking, low noise levels, good subjective handling in the dry and wet.
Negative: Average dry and wet handling and long wet braking, average comfort and high rolling resistance.
Overall: The new P7 C2 is a great update to the P7, with an excellent dry grip and sporty handling. If the wet performance was a little better it would have been near the very top of the test.

The best lateral hydroplaning resistance. Great handling response on wet pavement (only slight deterioration of performance observed under high loads). Good handling response and predictable behavior on wet pavement. Acceptable noise level and fuel efficiency.
