Pirelli Cinturato Rosso 275/45 R20 Volvo XC90 T8 Inscription 8,000 miles September 20, 2026

Long-Term Follow-Up Review: Pirelli Cinturato Rosso

Vehicle 1 (Toyota Camry Sedan): Ran 40,000 km until fully worn. Outstanding experience from day one to the wear bars. The compound remained soft, quiet, and consistently grippy throughout its lifespan in both wet and dry conditions. Excellent match for a daily front-wheel-drive sedan.

Vehicle 2 (Volvo 421 hp PHEV AWD): Currently at 12,000 km (tread depth down to ~5.1 mm). Completely different characteristics on a heavy, high-torque platform. Straight-line wet and dry grip felt mediocre immediately after installation, struggling to put the power down cleanly or bite hard under heavy braking.

However, cornering stability remains impressively sharp due to the stiff, reinforced sidewall construction keeping lateral flex in check.

Takeaway: A fantastic, durable comfort-touring option for standard sedans and lower-power vehicles, but not recommended for heavy, high-horsepower/high-torque PHEVs or SUVs where a dedicated Ultra High Performance (UHP/UUHP) tire is required.

Firestone Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN 275/45 R20 Volvo XC90 (2) D5 momentum 4,500 miles September 26, 2025
This is the update review from my initial one that I posted on April 30th 2025.
Now after almost 5000 miles (7500km) I can provide a more confident insight in the performance of these tyres. I still state that these are the most comfortable summer tires that I have ever driven. Performance-wise I cannot be more satisfied than this.
The tyres are as quiet now as they were at the beginning. I can only hear the wind at the highway drive, and not the wheels rolling. A big plus from me!!

I am not a sporty driver, so car handling was never an issue.Cornering, braking, grip - all very well balanced, both dry and wet. Even though road imperfections are well mitigated I've noticed in exactly 2 occasions I had my front wheels touch the edge of a road rut and I felt my steering wheel trying to pull to the side. It was not dramatical or anything dangerous, but I have never felt it with my car before. I checked the car's suspension and it all seems to be OK, so it must be from the "softness" of the tyres.That is why I graded 8 on "Road Feedback"

From the wear and tear perspective, I am happy with that one too. The rubber is on the softer side of the scale, but I am so happy with the tyres, that I do not care if they wear down quicker than the competition. I will definitely buy them again when time comes. An excellent tyre for a regular/moderate daily driver that respects a quiet and comfortable ride.

Firestone Roadhawk 2 ENLITEN 275/45 R20 Volvo XC90 (2) D5 momentum 300 miles April 30, 2025
After driving premium summer tyres for years and on various vehicles, I was a bit concerned purchasing and fitting the Roadhawks 2 on a heavy SUV such as XC90. My previous summer tyres were Good Year Eagle F1s and I was so and so satisfied with them. They felt a little loose and the feedback was not to my taste. It's been a long winter this year and a long drive on my Nokian WR SUV4s that are firm,heavy, noisy but sturdy and reliable.
Fitting the Firestones - wow!! The comfort, the quiet ride, the response and the dry grip is overwhelming ( to what I was expecting ). I am very pleased with how they perform in the initial phase ( just a few hundred miles in town ). WIll take them out on a motorway for the weekend, and I just can't wait. I imagine that they are half the noise of the Nokians.

The only potential concern will be the wear. I'll watch it closely and report the outcome. All in all, very content with the tires so far.

Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV 275/45 R20 Volkswagen Touareg 5,000 miles March 5, 2025
I live in Vancouver, BC, and drive to the Whistler ski resort quite often. Most of the time, the roads are wet or slushy, we pretty much don't get ice or compacted snow. It is not easy to find good tyres for these conditions - often winter tyres struggle with traction on wet cold asphalt or slush.

The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV have been incredible. They have so much traction, I feel like I can throw my heavy SUV around at speeds I wouldn't dare with previous tyres. I am very happy, these tyres have more grip than the summer tyres the car came with.

All four tyres developed cracks in between the tread after just three year and less than 10k miles.
Avoid.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV 275/45 R20 Volkswagen TOUAREG V6 TDI 20,000 miles October 17, 2023
Have run these tyres for three years and they have almost reached 20000 miles, mainly town driving. Depending on the road surface they can be noisy but generally are pretty quiet. I noticed some feathering on the outer rims at about 15000 miles but I understand that this can be quite common on some Touaregs. My main reason for buying these tyres was their expected longevity and I have not been disappointed. I consider 20000 to be good wear from a tyre, particularly considering the weight of the Touareg. I am due to change the rear tyres soon and may stick with the Goodyear but might give the Uniroyal Rainsport a try as they seem to be a very competitive price just now.

Triangle SporteX TH201 275/45 R20 Audi Q7 1,000 miles July 12, 2023
For this size, th201 maybe is the cheapest performance tire, only 500 yuan (around 65 euros) each, but the performance is not very much behind those expensive tires I used before, such as Goodyear F1 Asymmetric SUV and Michelin LS3. Very recommend if you can buy it at this price.

Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate 275/45 R20 Volkswagen TOUAREG V6 TDI 19 miles March 8, 2023
Just shy of 20,000 miles in on this set. I believe this is the review a lot of you are looking for. Right out of the box, these are not the best for wet conditions. Hydroplane very easily. That said, in dry, they are great tires, no additional road noise from new is great! I did have one tire break a belt/band and go out of round, so I am replacing these with new tires. I should say I am relieved to be replacing these. This winter was not fun. These perform very poorly in snow and ice and I have all wheel drive. So yes, this is an ALL SEASON, sure, BUT ALL WEATHER, absolutely not.
