Pirelli CINTURATO P1™ Reviews

The tyres came on a vehicle purchase with about 60% tread remaining. Driven mainly on highways and city streets, with a couple trips a month trip on dirt roads (and a little bit off-road). The performance was amazing! On bitumen, I often pushed cornering speeds and acceleration, in dry and wet conditions (when it was safe ;-). The tyres just stuck to the road. I was very impressed. There was minimal (if any) sideways movement while cornering (like that sideways sliding sensation when using AT tyres). The tyres didn't loose traction for all but the most extreme braking. I didn't loose traction once when accelerating (probably just because of the car's 2.0L engine). I used 38PSI for daily driving. On dirt, I aired down to 25PSI which was barely noticeable by looking at the tyres, but significantly improved the performance and comfort. Similar to driving on bitumen, I was greatly impressed! Probably the best passenger tyres I've ever used. Although, having them on an AWD Subaru made it hard to tell which part of the performance was due to the tyre or the Subaru's well known drive-train. After about 10000kms, around 45% tread remained, so an estimated minimum of around 50000kms should be achieved, with hard use. The only negative I can think of is that the tyre is not very tall, so it was not as comfortable as a taller tyre, but that's not the tyre's fault. The flip side is that there is more feedback through the tyre for the driver to feel. Overall, I was very impressed, and would highly recommend these tyres for the majority of driving conditions.

Great value for money tyres. Quiet and comfortable with good performance. I would recommend these to a friend.

They are pretty good along with p7s

While I haven't had the car for too long, I am impressed with the ride and handling of it. The tyres give good feedback from the road surface and conditions, making for relaxing confidant driving. Very little road noise and they absorb irregularities easily. Tested some wider lower profile tyres/mags and removed them after a short trip. The noise and comfort was terrible compared to the Pirellis. There was also no handling benefit, so off they came and back on went the factory mags with the Pirellis. Lesson learnt.

After ca. 40,000 kms I had the original Hankook tyres replaced with a set of Pirelli P1s. I have done another 40,000kms with them and I am very satisfied with them. Good in the dry and in the wet, handling is a bit sluggish, otherwise they do a good job. Noise has increased over time, treadwear is good, still 4.5 to 5 mm, so I expect them to do another 10,000 at least. Good value for money IMHO!

Nice when they were new after a while become noisier

I purchased these tyres over 3 years ago and have driven approx 70,000 km on them, I drive both off and on road and have never had an issue with these tyres. They are due for replacement now and have worn exactly how the manufacturer promised.  They handle well in all conditions and am very pleased with my tyres. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good value tyre for their outback. Im now considering Pirellis for my new ATT for my new wildtrak. 

A decent tyre, suitable for the everyday drive. Worth having a look at but if I was a little more affluent I might try something a little more durable. Nothing overly spectacular about them to recommend but they will get the job done if your demands aren’t on the extreme side of performance 

High quality tyres with very good mileage. Makes the mazda 3 much quieter and good grip in the rain. Very happy.

There's not much difference in performance amongst the 'premium' brands. I got quotes for my size and went with the cheapest. These Pirelli have lasted for 5 years and still have some time left in the,

Transform the handling and more importantly the feel of your vehicle. Wet weather grip is phenomenal! Never felt any aquaplaining at all. Help transform the balance of the vehicle turning my corolla from hugely understeery to something with a nice neutral feel. Highly recommend them, and better feel than tyres I've tried at 3 times the price. Transformed the feeling of the vehicle. Only thing, learn on the grip and you'll noice wear isn't great. Drive them like normal though and wear decent.

Had good wear results from these and the previous discontinuing P6000 model, If your main priority is wear then these are the tyres for you! Grip levels are acceptable at limit, They squeal but are predictable and progressive...more than enough for your shopping trolley. Wet grip is good enough for your daily commute but you don't buy these tyres for grip. These tyres have better grip than your average cheap and nasty tyre but the price and wear far out weigh the cheap competition, for an economy car theyre perfect. Please note the size I purchased does not seem to be available anymore, so I chose the closest size on here.
