Pirelli - summer tyres 2025 - market overview, tests, reviews
On our dedicated tyre tests website, we've selected a handful of Pirelli summer tyres to provide insights based on recent performance evaluations. This focuses on highly-rated selections that have been subject to rigorous testing. Among these, the Pirelli Cinturato (C3) stands out as an exceptional choice. This model, a replacement for the previous generations like the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 and Pirelli P7 Cinturato, has been crowned the test winner in the 2025 TYRE REVIEWS for its size 225/50 R17, solidifying its position as a reliable and high-performing option.
Another notable tyre is the Pirelli P ZERO PZ4, a consistently lauded choice in ultra-high-performance (UUHP) categories. In various tests, including a 2025 Autobild evaluation, this tyre was praised for its balanced handling and precise steering responses on both wet and dry surfaces. It received a "príkladné" rating for its exceptional capabilities, although it was noted for having some limitations in wet braking.
Last but not least, the Pirelli Cinturato P7, although an older model, remains a commendable option due to its dynamic handling. In the 2024 ACE test, it received a "velmi doporučeno" rating, demonstrating its enduring performance and value. However, it has been flagged for its economic efficiency and price point in some evaluations.
These reviews highlight Pirelli's commitment to innovation and performance, ensuring your drive is both safe and thrilling, no matter the conditions.
