Performance Analysis

Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde - Official Image

The Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde shows mixed but generally mid-pack performance across 12 summer tests, with flashes of excellence. It peaks with a test win (ADAC 2017 195/65 R15) and strong placements in broad comparison events (4/47 in Auto Bild's 2018 braking prelim), indicating competitive braking capability and balanced tuning in mainstream sizes. However, variability is high: it also records a 15/16 (ADAC 2019 185/65 R15) and a weak 10/11 in Sport Auto 2021, particularly struggling in wet and dry dynamic tests in that evaluation.
Overall, the tyre trends towards average to good in smaller compact sizes, with specific strengths in braking and acceptable efficiency/value trade-offs, but it can underperform in wet and dry handling/braking against newer rivals, and aquaplaning/rolling resistance often sit mid-to-lower tier. Consistency depends on size and test context.
