Anyone care to chime in what they like or dislike about this tire TIA
"All Season" implies there's requisite variety in a broad range of conditions, and an equally broad range of tread tech. My immediate concern is cross-threading and the lack of cut-depth, which may result in more hydroplaning and poorer snow distribution, along with easier friction release in cornering/stopping in rain/snow conditions.
I have the earlier version (I guess) of the P7, and I've had them on two different Fusions, both replaced the OEMs when they wore out. I like the tire because it has excellent handling and general performance in my experience, much better than the Continentals that it replaced. Only downside is fuel efficiency because I noticed about 8-10% hit on fuel economy compared to the OEMs. Given the performance, I considered that acceptable. 70k miles is a reach -- mine lasted about 50k for the two sets. I'll see if I can get any money out of Pirelli for the pro-rated warranty, but I'm not too hopeful.
I need to replace mine very soon and may look at these again if I can get a good price. Unfortunately, my tire size is $132 apiece at Walmart right now.
Slick price. I paid 155 each and they are awesome. I've got 20k miles on them and they are wearing faster than michelins. I would expect about 45k miles out of these - some reviews say they wear really fast. But on my 4cyl altima they are wearing about the 45k. Michelins last me 65k but they're twice the price so no brainer at this price. Don't hesitate.
I have these on my Maxima, they are really nice. Smooth and quiet with a performance feel. Ok in a little snow/ice but definitely not good enough for the winters we get in WA. But really great in summer.
Original equipment on two Audi A4 I have owned lasted 35 thousand miles on all wheel drive Quattro. Audi mechanics say it's very unusual for a tire to last that long on awd Quattro. Good handling excellent wear a great tire. Mine were high speed rated and I'm not sure if this is exact version but for this make tire at this price If I needed tires I would buy b4 they sell out.
I've had two prior sets of Cinturato on the Passat/A4 platform with AWD. Very good traction and treadwear, much better than the subsequent Pirelli Scorpions we had on the minivan.
Probably the happiest I've been with any line of tires in 25 years, right up there with Bridgestone Potenza. Great price.

So we're going to have a post for every tire size?
Seriously, are we going to post every size in a separate thread?
Don't we already do that for TVs?
