Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue Reviews - Page 3

Given 90% while driving a Opel vectra c (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 10,000 average miles
Hello.

I bought the Pirelli Cinturato P7 blue as a replacement for Uniroyal RainSport2/Continental SportContatc2 combo that was fitted to the car when I bought it.
Was deciding between Conti SportContact5, Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and Cinturato P7 blue. Finally decided fot touring instead of sport tire and I'm not sorry. The tires are safe and progressive, very strong in wet conditions, very fuel efficient and ware slowly (after 10.000 miles stil 6,5-7mm thread left).
My driving style is mixed - mostly is motorway (75 mph) but I do alot of B road too and sometimes a section ot two of very spirited driving. Because these are touring tires I really cant fault them.

However ...

If you are doing a lot of spirited driving be ware ...
They have soft sidewalls so the road feedback and turn in into corners is a bit mooshy, grip is pleanty if driving is precise, but the tire will slide if you apply full power on faster (60 mph) long sweepers when the tires are fully loaded.

Final thoughts ...
Very competent, efficient and safe tire for touring and sometimes spirited driving.

For its intentions would definitly recomend ;)

Cheers from Slovenia

I have to correct what I said on November 10, 2013: the noise was caused by the car's suspensions, not by the tyres.
So, after a longer mileage I confirm the good impressions on the grip and fuel economy, and wear seems ok.
Probably will buy again

Not the sportiest tyre in the world but my god they are comfortable and they have excellent wet and dry grip . And after 13000 miles they still look brand new. I suppose thats the most impressive thing about them . Im used to sports tyres like pirelli Pzero or goodyear F1 asymmetric but these give about 3 times the mileage

excellent touring tyre....it's not a sports tyre, so feedback wont be great, but noise, comfort and consumption and wear are all amazing.

Previous tyre was Bridgestone potenza re050A, that came with the car. Compared to the Potenza it is of course less responsive, but quieter and actually lighter (noticed when had to change them).
Pirellis have been on for a year and about 30.000km, still have plenty of tread left...

Very good if we exclude an annoying noise at low speed when the asphalt has small holes... I can hear the same noise when kicking the tyres (I mean when the car is not moving)

Had two sets P7 each last about 20,000 miles - work well in summer, perhaps not so good in the Wet - Fine as a summer tire.
