Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II 

“One tire. Four seasons. No compromises”

Released in the Summer of 2020, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is Pirelli’s enhanced Touring All-Season tire developed for the drivers of premium and touring sedans and coupes. 

These next generation tires have been updated with improvements in wet braking and handling over the previous generation, while maintaining the mileage, comfort and all season performance that Pirelli are known for.

We consider the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II to be one of the best grand-touring tires that you can buy today. They excel in a wide variety of different conditions and surfaces and testing has showed them to come out as one of the best performing tires, especially on dry roads.

Features

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is one of Pirellis “Plus” line of products, which have been specifically designed for the North American market. Pirelli’s main focus on this new tire has been the wet handling and wet traction while maintaining the superior tread wear, winter traction, noise, comfort, dry handling and steering performance of the previous generation. 

It also features a new compound. This new compound helps the tire to deliver on its promise of improved stopping distance in the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II as well as enhanced overall performance in wet traction, handling and braking. It manages all this while maintaining the previous generation’s tread wear, winter traction, noise, comfort, dry handling and steering performance. 

The new tire also features a new optimized footprint. This gives the tire a five percent larger contact area over the previous generation tire. This new optimized shape allows the tire to achieve its improved wet performance.

Dry Performance

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II has proven to be an excellent performer in dry conditions. The tire handles responsively and provides predictable and direct cornering and braking performance. The new compound helps the tire maintain its superior traction over the competition on dry roads, even at higher speeds.

At high speeds, the tire continues to provide excellent levels of grip and provides a smooth, quiet ride. The new optimized footprint also helps the tire to achieve improved steering responsiveness and control.

Wet Performance

Where Pirelli have put the most effort in improving the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is in its performance in wet conditions, and Pirelli have succeeded. They have managed to deliver a tire with improved behaviour on wet surfaces and improved further upon the tires wet stopping distance.

The tire’s new compound and optimized footprint help improve the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II’s wet traction, handling and braking. The tires gives its drivers more confidence in wet conditions with improved stopping distances and overall control on wet surfaces.

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is also designed to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. The tire’s tread design helps to disperse water away from the contact patch, allowing for improved traction in wet conditions and reducing the risk of aquaplaning. The optimized shape of the tires footprint also plays a role here, helping to provide better grip in wet conditions.

Snow and Ice Performance

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is designed to perform in cold weather conditions as well. The tread pattern and compound have been designed to provide excellent grip on snow and slush. In addition, the tire also benefits from Pirelli’s Snow Groove technology which helps with increased aquaplaning resistance.

This gives the tire a confidence on light snow that is unique amongst all-season tires. It will not be able to replace dedicated snow tires in more serious winter weather, but the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is an excellent compromise for drivers who want a “do-it-all” tire.

Tire longevity

Durability has been taken into account and is important for touring tires as some customers want to cover a lot of distance in their vehicles . Unfortunately, it is difficult to offer superior performance without the tradeoff of a shorter tread life. And this is no different with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II.

Pirelli rates the tire at having a tread life up to 70,000 miles. This is about average for an all-season touring tire, but less than many dedicated winter tires which provide superior snow performance.

In testing we found the durability to not be the tires best aspect. As they are slightly softer tires designed for high performance, their durability does suffer slightly. We found the tires slightly more prone to tire bubbles and bulges, especially when hitting potholes at speed.

This means that if you drive often on very rough roads, you may want to consider opting for an all-season tire that has a higher durability rating.

Comfort

When it comes to comfort, this is another aspect where the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II truly shines. The new compound and optimized shape provide improved comfort over the previous generation tire, even at higher speeds.

The tires deliver excellent ride quality with a smooth and quiet experience on any surface. This makes it perfect for long highway drives, where comfort is of the highest priority.

We found that the tire rode over both small and bigger imperfections in the road extremely well and gave us a comfortable ride without any vibrations or unwanted noise. With Pirelli being known as a high performance brand, it allows owners of high performance vehicles and stiff suspension setups to enjoy a comfortable ride without sacrificing performance.

Noise

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II offers a comfortable and quiet ride. The tires have been designed to minimize road noise, while still providing an excellent level of grip in all conditions. This is thanks to the optimized shape of the tire’s footprint which helps reduce vibrations and provides a smoother ride quality.

The tire features next generation pitch sequencing and phasing technology that effectively allows the tire to cancel out and lowers the internal noise and tire roar. This makes it ideal for drivers who are looking for a comfortable long distance tire.

Economy

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is an excellent choice for drivers who want to save money. The tires are manufactured using innovative technologies that help reduce energy consumption and improve fuel efficiency. This helps keep the rolling resistance of the tire as low as possible, which translates into improved fuel economy.

Statistic show that the Pirelli is able to offer up to a 15% reduction in rolling resistance compared to other similar all-season tires. This can result in fuel savings across the life of the tire and is a great benefit for anyone looking to get the most out of their tires while still being able to enjoy superior performance.

Price/value

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is a mid-range tire and offers good bang for buck. The prices range from $80 to $234 per tire, depending on the size of the tire you require.

This makes the tire a more expensive option for some drivers, but we believe that for drivers looking to get the most out of their vehicles and enjoy the best performance a tire is able to offer, they are well worth the money.

Tire Sizes

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II comes available in a range of sizes including:

Warranty

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is covered by a 70,000-mile limited tread wear warranty. This is about average for an all-season tire. However, if you are looking for a longer warranty and superior durability, then you may want to look at other tires in the market that offer a higher mileage warranty.

We found that the performance that the tires offered held up well over their lifetime and delivered the same performance as when they were new. This means that you are getting a tire that will last for the duration of its warranty and provide excellent performance for the entire time.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II Tire is an excellent choice for drivers looking for superior performance in all weather conditions. With enhanced wet braking and handling, improved tread wear and noise levels, increased comfort, improved dry handling and steering performance, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II Tire is one of the best grand-touring tires you can buy.
