Pirelli Cinturato first in comparative test

The new Pirelli Cinturato has claimed first place in a comparative test conducted by Tyre Reviews on premium summer tyres.

Coming just weeks after the Cinturato’s debut, Pirelli says this victory underlines the sophisticated features announced at its launch.

The tests were carried out on a selection of premium tyres in 225/50 R17 size, taking place under real-world dry and wet conditions.

The Cinturato ranked first among the seven tyres tested, delivering outstanding performance across all categories (dry and wet grip, aquaplaning, comfort, noise, and rolling resistance) to demonstrate its perfect balance between safety and efficiency.

On dry roads, the Cinturato is said to have stood out for its excellent stability, balance, and grip. Additionally, it recorded the fastest lap time and best braking performance, with a significant margin over its competitors.

On wet surfaces, the Pirelli tyre ensured perfect balance and precise handling, positioning itself among the best in the category. It also achieved the top result in the curved aquaplaning test, registering the highest grip among all the tyres tested.

Designed for both original equipment and replacement markets, the new Pirelli Cinturato is already available in a range of 21 sizes, covering rim diameters from 16 to 20 inches.
