Pirelli Cinturato P1 Questions & Answers

Yes.

I don't know. I haven't had the P7's.

I didn't notice any extra noise from these tyres when compared to others on my 2013 Toyota Corolla 4 door sedan, but then again I always drive with my windows closed and the AC on.
These tyres give a very comfortable ride and grip the road well in wet and dry conditions as well as lots of KM and I will buy these tyres again.

Hello Swaran, no the Pirelli tyre is surprisingly quite on the freeway when I purchased mine I thought they would be quite driving around my local area but after having the tyres on for 4 or 5 days I drove on the freeway for about 1 hour 30 mins and i was totally surprised with the lack of noise and the handling of my car with the new Pirelli tyres. I Hope this helps you Swaran.

NON DIRECTIONAL, Had a set on my MB c200k for 50k before selling the car
excellent value for money, quiet and smooth ride...great tyre at the price (I've done over 50 yrs driving)

Sorry I'm not a tyre expert - you would need to talk to either Pirelli direct or try one of their agents - but bear in mind their object may be to sell you more tyres - if it was me, & I needed to get new tyres I doubt I would consider Pirelli again

Thanks anyways, it should be fine.

I couldn't tell you, sorry; haven't had much experience with the P7, only this and a few P Zeros

Probably no difference at all. The factories are owned by the tyre companies so if you have faith in the brand it shouldn't matter where the factory is located. Having a quick look at my P1's I couldn't see where they were manufactured but at the end of the day I don't care. As I've posted previously, next time I'll be returning to Michelin XM2's only because for me, the ride is better but I have no idea where they are manufactured either.

Just remember that even premium tyre manufacturers including Yokohama, Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli, Continental etc have manufacturing facilities all over the planet and from my experience it doesn't matter where it's made as the manufacturing process and safety controls are identical - it's the actual tyre model you're looking at aka whether it's a budget brand aka Bob Jane or premium Michelin and what the tyre is made for - the high km guarantee tyres are much harder compounds and deliver more kms but very poor grip in the wet whereas soft compounds wear quickly - add power and weight aka a powerful engined rear wheel drive sedan and they can be completely worn in 15,000kms for the rear tyres however the grip you'll experience in softer compounds is amazing - especially when cornering in wet/cold conditions.

The geographical location, as well as the atmospheric conditions and time of day all play a part in how the compound sets. The tyres arent manufactured in strict atmospherically controlled conditions.

Racing drivers can notice differences with tyres made in the same factory on different days, so generally elect for a set to have come from the same batch, if possible.

Most road driving conditions many probably wouldn't notice a difference.

From what I can see China. That is from Google. Would have to check my tyres.

Then should I question the quality of these tyres ?

My eyesight is not good enough to read the tiny print on thr sidewall so I have no idea where they are manufactured. However I've now had them on my Toyota Aurion now for 40,000km and they have plenty of tread left. As I said in my review they are outstanding in wet conditions and I believe that they're a very good tyre except that the ride is a bit firm. For this reason alone I will return to Michelin XM2's next time.

i would suspect they would be quite good, on my mazda 6 it's impossible to break traction in the dry, and are very good in the wet. We also put them on our slk350, which has a lot more powerful, they are excellent and are likely to increase Tyre life, as compared to a super sticky bridgestone, we were lucky to get 20k out of the tyres. and the price at tyrepower for a 245/50/17 was $250 fitted could not go wrong

With the Dunlop Sports max, i was lucky to get 15k to the tyres, i am looking for better life, but also something to hande 1.8ton and 300bhp+ going through them. i think i will give then a shot

I've since travelled ~20k km on them, although in a medium sized low-powered front drive vehicle, and I still have enough tread for at least another 30k km at the current rate of wear. So yes, I would recommend if you're looking for a decent performing tyre without the payoff of a short life-span. Certainly a lot more than the 15k km you've experienced with the Dunlops.

I honestly could not tell the difference between the two - the Cinturato P1 actually replaces the P6 previously on the car. It's as quiet, if not quieter, good grips as well both in wet and dry.

Hi Spark. Sorry mate I couldn't tell you as I've no experience with the P6's. If you were considering the P1's I'd go right ahead, they're a good all-rounder.

The P1's are better than the plain P7's (not the Cinturato's) then P7's were the model up from the P6's. There's your answer.

Hi john2793. I think that you would be happy with these tyres, I have been for the past few weeks and 10,000km. My car has 205/55 R16 size fitted, which the tyre dealership (Tyrepower) charged me $155 a tyre fitted and balanced. Unless you're looking to spend $50 or more a corner more these are quite agreeable as an all rounder for braking, wet & dry grip, and noise suppression.
