In 2009, the Pirelli company presented the long-awaited P7 tires. The Pirelli P7 Cinturato summer tires are designed for wagons and sedans of the comfort class. In many Audi, BMW, and Mercedes Benz cars, these tires are installed as the initial equipment.
Compared to their analogs, the P7 tires have undergone significant changes. The new design gives the tires strictness and aggressiveness, and the highest production technologies make them a standard of comfort and safety. In the production of tires, mostly eco-friendly materials are used, which is confirmed by the Ecoimpact icons.
In the Pirelli P-7 tires, much has been done to improve traction and increase durability. Unique hybrid materials do not allow the tire to deform, and the STEP project achieves maximum traction, while nanotechnology provides high thermal stability and resistance to temperature fluctuations. The noise characteristics of the tire have been reduced by 30% compared to its predecessors.
What is the STEP project?
The purpose of this project is to increase safety, which is guaranteed by the optimized tire profile. The profile makes the tire more robust and reliable, which enhances stability and traction on the road surface.
Special components of the Italian Pirelli tire
Polymers - contribute to better vehicle stability on wet roads.
Nanoparticles - prevent rubber aging and provide a stable thermal level.
The main advantages are:
- original tire structure, which provides a high level of reliability at high speeds;
- new tread pattern, which ensures even wear and makes the ride smooth and comfortable;
- unique materials that make the tires reliable and wear-resistant;
- eco-friendliness of the tires.
Operational characteristics of the Pirelli P7 Cinturato tire
The Cinturato P7 tires from Pirelli combine safety, eco-friendliness, driving pleasure, and performance. Perhaps their only drawback is the limited use in frost, ice, and snow conditions. The new tread pattern with four longitudinal grooves easily removes water from the tires during rain, and the nanopolymer mixture in the tire composition improves traction on wet surfaces. The wide tread, continuous ribs, and reinforced sidewall improve the car's performance on dry roads.
Appearing on the market in 2009, the Pirelli P7 Cinturato summer tires instantly gained leadership among buyers. Most leading car manufacturers have given the tires the highest rating. Currently, these tires are installed as standard equipment on such car brands as Alfa Romeo, Volvo, Audi, Mercedes Benz, and others.
Comparison of the P7 Cinturato tire with its analogs
The predecessors of the Cinturato R7 tires are the Cinturato P4 tires, designed for city-type cars with small engine volumes, and the Cinturato P6 tires, which have become especially popular among sedans and wagons. The R7 model differs from its counterparts almost entirely, from the tread pattern to the materials used in the carcass. The main advantages of these tires are low rolling resistance, the use of nanotechnology, and hybrid materials that prevent tire deformation.
