Very disappointed with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 tyres that my car came with.
After 8-years and only 16,000-miles the tyres are cracking badly where the tread meets the sidewall.
This was picked up during an MOT and - although the MOT wasn't a fail - I was given a "warning".

For me they work best on the motorway/ Highway , through town they are okay. But in the rain they are shocking , always spinning in the rain they have no traction on rain. Or when there is sand or dust on the road. Would not recommend for all year tyres only good for summer and that’s it.

It was an average feeling tyre on all aspects.
Non-RFT version is much more acceptable than the RFT version.
Definitely wouldn't recommend getting the RFT one.
Replacing these with Conti PC6's was a good idea, both mediocre comfort and noise level bu Conti has much more grip and road feedback for the same price.

I had these on my car when I bought it used and after driving on them I realized they were incredibly bad at wet performance and why I am getting rid of these tires next summer. When it was slightly colder and wet they have a terrifyingly small amount of grip. Dry performance is decent but almost every tire is decent in the dry I would say. I would say I could get another 10.000 miles out of these tires before they would be gone which is ok but not anything to boast about for being so bad or average at other things. The comfort is a bit hard but they are run flats so that is expected. For my car (G30 xDrive 530d touring) the tires were not that noisy but that could be the case with great insolation and double-glazed windows.
TL;DR; Tyres are really really bad on wet surfaces.

Great performance tyres. For Mercedes-Benz A-Class, replaced factory Hankooks; noisier and less comfortable but excellent dry and wet grip.

Factory fitted tyres from new. Comfortable tyre used for mostly motorway driving, but also A/B roads. Handle well under normal driving conditions both wet and dry. Have worn well, 29k miles on the front. Rear tyres still plenty of tread left.

I had these on my car when I bought it used and after driving on them for a short amount of time realised they were incredibly uncomfortable when combined with the stiff suspension of a Mini and 18 inch wheels. So swapped these runflats out for some non-run flat Continental Premium Contact 6 which is still a stiff sidewall tyre but as it is not a runlet made the ride much more comfortable.
The wet performance is another large reason why I got rid of these tyres as especially when it was slightly colder and wet they have terrifyingly small amount of grip when new and the lack of performance is even more obvious when worn!
My recommendation is do not fit and go for the latest Michelin Pilot tyre as that's what I'm moving to now after the Continental's not amazing performance.

These tires look great, have good grip in wet and dry conditions. They are quiet and comfortable.
THEY WORE OUT IN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES.
SO RIDICULOUS

Tyres have been on the car for a couple of years having been fitted new at Kwik-fit. They have now started to crack where the tread meets the shoulder. They both still have 5mm left. I emailed Pirelli and pretty much got fobbed off. The front did the same after a year. I won't be buying Pirelli again.

Good tyre in wet and dry performance. Friendly on the limit, nice comfort and better than bridgestone turanza e300. Not long lasting, just "died" in two years of use running only 26000 km.
