PIRELLI CINTURATO P7 ALL SEASON PLUS

[PaulStreetBoy]

Any experience with the above tires? I am thinking of getting it for my Model 3 Long Range RWD (235 40/19). I am in Southern California. The OEM tires are done after 25K. These have high ratings on Tire Rack.

Any input is appreciated.

I've been using the appropriate size on my Model S with 19" wheels (different size than what you would need for your Model 3). My hope is to get longer tire life than the OEM tires that came with my Model S (Michelin Primacy MXM4, been through two sets of those, lasting 36K and 30K miles respectively). So far so good I'd say...I'm not really a car guy so subtle differences in handling, energy efficiency, noise, etc. would probably be lost on me.

A lot of people are getting them over the Contis and they all love them. Amazon $155 tire!

If you believe Consumer Reports ratings, these are pretty average on grip, but *very* quiet and have lower than average rolling resistance.

I had them on a Nissan Altima and initially hated them. They lost traction in situations where my previous Continental PureContact's had no issues. They did eventually get better (or perhaps I adjusted my expectations) but I personally wouldn't consider them for purchase.

I have them on my 2012 Accord. Love the tire! Soooo much better than the MXM4 OEM tires.

Doing some tire shopping and these are at the top of my list. I see some people have complained about traction in wet conditions though, do you find this to be an issue with these tires? I’m also curious to hear what your efficiency is like with these? Someone on another forum said they were as efficient as his previous 18” Aeros were with MXM4’s — wondering if you find them to be as good as that?

Tire Rack now has the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus 2 which was announced in Feb 2020. It has a 5% bigger contact patch and improved wet traction and wet braking. Now I’m not not sure if I should go with P7 gen 1 or P7 gen 2.

Thoughts?

The Gen 1’s were on a Closeout recently. If you could still get them on a discount, I’d get Gen 1s probably. Otherwise, Gen 2.

Gen 2 because gen1 after some miles have no wet traction. I would recommend Michelin cross climates if you’re on 18inch. Plus you could get the warranty for your mxm4 it has 45k warranty.

From where?

From where?

Discount tire or from Michelin on warranty

 

[SilverString]

Not on my Tesla, but I used Pirelli's for years on my previous two Jaguar XJ's. They are great tires but have soft rubber and I always chewed through them well before the warranty period. This allowed me to replace them much cheaper under warranty but ultimately I changed to a Goodyear tire after Discount Tire told me Jags, BMW's, and other high performance cars always did this with Perelli's.

Just my experience, I loved the way the Pirelli's drove.

That's what I was thinking. I was able to get the Gen 2 for $193 per tire, so only $40 more per tire than the Gen 1 on closeout. Seemed like a good deal to me for the added safety/control in wet conditions. Getting them put on on Thursday so we'll see how I like them.
