Have the 225/35/19 for about 15000 km. Nice tyre on dry very sharp steering and very good feedback of the road.
Doesn't take much time to heat up the tyres but as an owner of a front wheel car with almost 400 hp and 520 Nm of torque I have to say that the wear is very high... At 8000 km i had the front tires at the half of its tread. Now with the back tires at the front almost the same wear, for a tire that handles wonderful. Probably a bit better than my previous Michelin PS4S.
If the wear wasn't an issue I would probably give it a 8-9 overall.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Audi A3 1.8T sport drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
11/10 Tyre, I'm amazed by it, performs incredbily well, very nice feedback from the road, never slipped in heavy rain conditions, not noisy at all and they are also one of the longest lasting tyres in this class. Would always buy again.
Very smooth driving, performed amazingly on wet roads especially when braking.
Advantage Tires performed much better than my previous BFG tires.
would Highly recommend
This tire has terrible tire roll.
I’m almost tempted to post a video review of these tire. P7 centurato.
Would not recommend these to anyone for any purpose. Poor lifespan, weak side wall, tires have bubble effect on side wall appearance as it only has 1 lip on the side wall.
The profile of the p7’s vs my previous Dunlop’s sp6060’s are chalk and cheese. The p7 is has a huge “bubble” design. Great for straight road comfort. But that’s about it. Very poor handling around bends and corners.
I've mounted 4 sets of these tyeres in diferent cars and they are pretty impressive at their price point. Specially good on the wet.
The grip and the steering feedback are absolutely nothing short of amazing. The car just glues onto the road no matter the weather conditions. It is the best tyre I have ever fitted to any of my cars.
These tyres are pants in the wet. I had a new pair on the back of my Audi A3 and was surprised at how easy it was to lose the back of the car on a roundabout if it was a tad wet. I thought it was just the car as I haven't had it that long. I swapped the rears to the front as they had better tread and am now really noticing the poor grip in the wet. Mostly on corners, you can feel they start to slide easily. I really don't trust them and am looking for non-budget replacements as soon as possible.
I just changed new CSC5 last week, this was my second times. I get very good driving experience and used almost 22,000 miles/1.6yr(40% town 60%highways). The top speed i 've reach was 140 miles/hr, CSC5 still stable and seems can run faster. very balance no matter in dry and wet ground. i will recommend to my frds if he wanna find a balance performance tires.
Four tires totally cost US$800 included install and alignment.
Four tires totally cost US$800 included install and alignment.
excellent tyre in wet and dry just a shame about limitd sizes
I am using these tyres for the last 22000+ miles. Used them 75% in dry and 25% rain conditions an a very large variety of roads. Also used them in snow. I am very satisfied with it's overall performance and it's outstanding wear capabilities. They seem they have another 15000 miles to go easily. Excellent grip in dry roads. I generally drive in a sporty way. Can do 60 mph on a wet curvy road easily. Definately a Buy again tyre.
