The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 emerges as a notable performer in the arena of premium summer tyres, showcasing a blend of commendable qualities and areas for improvement across various tests. On dry surfaces, the tyre consistently delivers a compelling proposition, credited for its precise steering feedback, short braking distances, and secure driving behavior even at the limit. This robust dry performance is complemented by its effective handling and prominent grip levels, making it a trustworthy companion for dry conditions.
However, when it comes to wet performance, the Cinturato P7 C2 presents a mixed bag. Although it garners praise for its aquaplaning resistance and showcases a fine-tuned steering response paired with a sporty-neutral balance, it doesn't uniformly excel in wet conditions. Specific criticisms include its average braking distances and handling on wet surfaces, where it sometimes struggles to match the grip and control offered by competitors. This inconsistency in wet conditions, alongside a noted variably in handling and response, highlights a need for refinement to elevate its all-around appeal.
Comfort and efficiency are underscored as strengths, with several tests noting the tyre's low noise levels, satisfactory rolling resistance, and commendable levels of driving comfort. These aspects contribute to a more pleasurable and eco-conscious driving experience, though some minor concessions in comfort were mentioned in comparison to competitors.
Environmental considerations bring to light the Cinturato P7 C2's respectable performance in terms of fuel efficiency and weight management. However, concerns are raised regarding its environmental footprint, particularly relating to tyre wear, which stands as an area for potential enhancement to bolster its overall sustainability profile.
In summary, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 distinguishes itself as a balanced summer tyre with pronounced strengths in dry conditions and driving comfort, countered by areas for improvement in wet performance and environmental impact. Its attributes point towards a tyre suitable for drivers prioritizing dry handling and efficiency, albeit with considerations for its wet surface capabilities and wear characteristics.
Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is made in 84 sizes, starting from 205/55 R16 up to 255/45 R19.
