Pirelli Cinturato P1 shows mixed summer touring performance with standout braking capability but inconsistent overall results across sizes and test years. It achieved top-tier finishes in simpler, braking-focused evaluations (2/54 in 2013 braking test; 3/15 in 2012) but slipped to mid-to-lower midfield in broader comparative tests (10/19, 13/16, 7/15, 10/14), indicating uneven balance across handling, wet grip breadth, and comfort/efficiency metrics.
Overall, the tyre's headline strength is straight-line braking, while comprehensive test batteries reveal limitations that prevent consistent top placements. Variability by size and test scope suggests performance that is sensitive to dimensions and broader criteria beyond pure braking.
