Review on Pirelli Cinturato P7 205/55 R16 91V summer by Gabriela Py ᠌

Operated on BMW X3 F25 30 d in St. Petersburg, installed at the factory, 225/60 R17 RunFlet. I decided to write because I do not understand those who write about this tire that it is quiet and soft. Very, very noisy, despite the excellent noise isolation from the BMW. While the rubber is new, it is elastic, springy in the pits, like a cheap rubber ball from my Soviet childhood, the tire does not absorb shocks. As the tread wears out, it also loses these properties. Become oak. In a rut, she even wears a new one. In the rain, especially on the ring road (whoever drives in St. Petersburg knows) you need to go into the right lane, slow down to 60 km / h, and “vomit” for the amusement of the public if you want to get home without incident. Aquaplaning starts at 80 km/h. Saves electronics and all-wheel drive. It copes with light off-road, did not climb into the swamps, but you can go to the forest for mushrooms. When rearranging and braking - nothing outstanding, experience and attention are needed, it will not help out with mistakes. I will also say a couple of kind words. The wear resistance of these tires is phenomenal. Drove 80 thousand (including winter-summer) Most of these tires. There were no bumps or side cuts. Punctures began in the third year of operation. I drive carefully, but quickly). Another positive point is that you can safely rub yourself against the curb (curb) when parking, due to the convex sidewalls, the discs are not damaged, although the appearance of the tire due to this design is not very good. Pirelli does not smell of vaunted sportiness here. But practical. Conclusion - if you do not need comfort and fast driving, buy it. You will drive for a long time, Run Flat will allow you to drive with a puncture to “your” tire shop, and I will switch to radius 18 NOT Run Flet and go to the French. Chao, Italy!
