Review your Pirelli Cinturato Rosso >

I recently upgraded from the Continental UC6 to the Pirelli Cinturato Rosso tyres, and the difference has been nothing short of night and day. The UC6 had me slipping constantly in the rain, but with the Rosso, I haven’t missed a single beat, even in the wettest conditions. These tyres are absolutely lovely!

It's been a while since I've experienced such a well-rounded tyre, especially after using the Michelin PS3, PS4, and Continental SportContact 5 in the past. I never expected a touring tyre to perform this well; I always thought performance tyres meant sacrificing comfort, but the Cinturato Rosso has completely changed my mind.

The softness of these tyres is immediately noticeable, offering a very smooth ride over uneven surfaces. The grip in dry conditions is simply amazing, and even in wet conditions, they perform impressively. Aquaplaning resistance is above average, though not the absolute best, but it’s certainly good enough to instill confidence in rainy weather.

There was only one instance where I felt the car was losing its tail, but that was due to my tyre profile being 60. A thick profile combined with a soft tyre doesn’t help during hard cornering, so a lower profile spec wouldn’t have this problem.

One thing I really appreciate is how quiet they are. Noise levels are low enough that they don't bother me at all, which is a big plus for daily driving. And when it comes to cornering, these tyres excel. There's no wallowiness; instead, they feel planted with plenty of grip and feedback, giving me the confidence to push through corners with ease.

Wear is amazing too, way beyond my expectations. Normally tyres can only last around 20k miles because of the way I drive but for these Pirelli, it can certainly withstand the torture and I'm about 60% into the life of these. More to go!

I'm so satisfied with these tyres that I'm even planning to purchase a set for my XC90. The Pirelli Cinturato Rosso tyres have exceeded my expectations in every way, combining comfort and performance in a way I didn’t think was possible. Highly recommended!
