“The new all-season tyre has convincing driving characteristics in all weather conditions”: here's how Auto Bild Sportscars, among the most important automotive magazines in Europe, presented the Cinturato All Season SF3 in its article about the comparative test won by the Pirelli tyre.
Different jury, same result: also the Italian magazine alVolante, testing the main all-seasons on the market, awarded the first place to the Pirelli product, thanks to the Cinturato All Season SF3's safety performance both on dry and wet.
In Auto Bild Sportscars' comparative test on wet asphalt, the Cinturato All Season SF3 proved to be "exemplary" in aquaplaning resistance and handling, both on straight and when cornering. In dry conditions it had the best braking, handling, steering response and rolling resistance.
The Auto Bild Sportscars and alVolante tests confirm the results already highlighted by two international certification bodies: Dekra, which praised the Cinturato All Season SF3 for its cumulated braking performance1, and TÜV SÜD, which gave it the Performance Mark2. All sizes in the launch range also earned the highest rating on the European label (class "A") in wet grip.

All features that make the Cinturato All Season SF3 the ultimate all-year-long solution for people who drive medium and compact cars, especially in the city.
In the hottest months of the year, the new Cinturato tyre offers stability, acoustic comfort and rolling resistance levels close to those of a summer tyre; in the cold season, thanks to its adaptive tread technology with 3D sipes and innovative compounds that are effective over a wide range of temperatures, the tyre provides grip and traction even on slippery surfaces.
The excellent results of the Cinturato All Season SF3 on snow are also confirmed by the two comparative tests by Auto Bild Sportscars e alVolante: with the Pirelli tyre "you always travel safely even at high speeds", writes the German magazine. Plus, the 3PMSF marking indicates that the tyre was tested in severe winter conditions.
Already available in sizes between 16 and 20 inches, the Cinturato All Season SF3 joins the Cinturato P7 and the Cinturato Winter 2 in a product family that satisfies many different needs.
Pirelli Elect technology, designed to enhance the characteristics of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids, is available on a selection of sizes of Cinturato products.
