Reduce Rolling Resistance With The Improved Pirelli Cinturato P7

Back in 2012, Pirelli tires made headlines when the Cinturato P7s came out on top for fuel efficiency in track tests, by which, a prominent UK Consumer Association publication known to be “the only independent entity to test tires in the United Kingdom.” Across a lengthy battery of tests, Pirelli tires outperformed the Continental PremiumContact5, Goodyear’s OptiGrip, and the Bridgestone Turanza T001 for rolling resistance.

What’s more, track testers noted that the Cinturato P7s were “among the lowest priced tires in the test batch,” which meant Pirelli tire buyers were saving more upfront and over the long-term.

Despite earning a clean sweep in international fuel efficiency tests, Pirelli tire manufacturers were not content to rest on their laurels. In the 10 years since their sweeping victory, Pirelli tires have continued to compete with themselves, and the current Cinturato P7 shows marked improvements on its award-winning predecessor, thanks to a newly optimized tread profile and innovative new tread compound.

In fact, in internal tests comparing the new Pirelli Cinturato P7 with the previous generation, Pirelli tire researchers found that the new model provided even more fuel range and mileage, reducing fuel consumption by up to 4%, which equated to an extra 4,000km of driving.
