Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 Reviews - Page 2

15,600 km & 2 years update

I’ve now covered around 15,600 km (9,700 miles) on these tires, so I would consider them roughly at their midlife point.

I recently rotated them. Before the rotation, the front tires were down to around 5 mm, while the rear tires still had approximately 6 mm of tread. Based on the wear so far, I expect to get another 15,000–16,000 km out of them.

Their characteristics have changed a little as they’ve worn. The biggest difference I’ve noticed is the dry grip. Once the tread got down to around 5 mm, they actually started to feel better in dry and hot condition, giving me more confidence and feedback when cornering.

Another change is the noise. As the tires wore down, they seemed to become quieter. I noticed this especially after rotating them. With the tires that have slightly deeper tread now on the front, I can hear a small increase in road noise again.

Overall, I’m still very satisfied with these tires.

I have driven nearly 40,000 km on my Nissan Juke F16 with 225/45 R19 tyres, and I still feel confident when taking corners. I prefer a sporty driving style, but cornering quickly in an SUV is not always easy. However, the SF3 tyres make it easier and safer, especially in dry conditions, thanks to their excellent grip.

I have also driven in heavy rain and have always felt safe on wet roads. I have never experienced any tyre slipping in the rain. I have not experienced snowy conditions yet, but the SF3 tyres still perform well in temperatures below zero, just as they do in normal temperatures.

After 40,000 km, the tyres have started to show some wear, which is normal at this mileage. I am a little more cautious when taking corners now, but I am still satisfied with the tyres’ performance.

Comfort is slightly limited with 225/45 R19 tyres, although this is more related to the Nissan Juke itself. The suspension is neither soft nor hard—it is somewhere in between. With 19-inch low-profile tyres, potholes and other road imperfections can sometimes reduce comfort.

Overall, the SF3 is the best all-season tyre I have ever used.

I have just had to replace all 4 tyres. I’ve had them for 2 years and 2 winters and covered 22500 miles in them. Really impressed with wet grip and cold weather grip sub 7°C. Hardly had any snow so not really able to rate them, same for ice. Great in the dry warmer weather too. Later longer than the ePrimacy tyres I had on before, which I used in the summer until they were condemned. They are fitted to a Tesla model 3 AWD, so subject to a lot of torque. Due to the fitment, the tyre can get caught on a kerb when parking, and that is why I had to replace the tyres. I have been driving around 25,000 miles a year and having to park in all sorts of places, for work and many narrow roads, so despite being ultra careful, it is hard not to catch the wheels/tyres on the kerb occasionally. This what’s the cause of the replacement rather than wearing them out. They were down to around 3.5mm. I’ve driven these tyres at speeds up to 138mph without any issue at Millbrook proving ground, going around the oval at 100mph. Really happy with the tyres, I bought the same tyres again, as the CrossClimate Sport 3 is not available in my cars size and these are still better than the CrossClimate 3 in the wet and overall a very good tyre. Highly recommended.
