Maximum safety, impeccable control and superior performance. The new Pirelli Cinturato has taken the top spot in the Tyre Reviews premium summer tyre comparison, confirming in the field the promises made at 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 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.

THE NEW CINTURATO
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. The improvements over the previous model make it a benchmark of safety and efficiency, achieved through continuous research and innovation—particularly thanks to Pirelli's advanced compound technologies. These innovations have allowed Pirelli to overcome traditional tyre development trade-offs, successfully combining seemingly contrasting needs such as braking grip, durability, and rolling resistance.
