I have a 2017 Twin Turbo Passat 4motion that had 4 Pirelli P7 Cinaturo’s on. I have put 10k miles in 7 months on them and worn them to 4mm. Brilliant as a dynamic tyre in rural England but as the review said, had a few moments in very very heavy rain on the motorway and they aren’t very comfortable, although I’d say they are quite quiet. I’ve now swapped them to the rear and put Primacy 4+ on the front which has made a the ride much better (I now have a baby and a dog) but the Michelins definitely don’t grip as well. You can’t win them all.

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 Volkswagen Passat B8 2.0 TDI 240hp 4Motion drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
one of the best tyre i have used and its coming from a previous PS4 user
The dry and wet grip is pretty average compare to my summer tire (245 40 19 PZ4) but certainly way better than my studded tires. It works pretty well on ice and stuff but on heavy snow, it might aquaplane a little bit? I usually get a bit of wheel spin when I accelerate hard but other than that it works ok. The wet brake is not very ideal tho.
I found this tire pretty quiet. I think it's rated at 67 dB or something which is very good.
I drove around 45000km on it and still get 5mm of thread left.
In conclusion even tho it's not the best one in the market, it works quite well as a winter tire. I will purchase again just for the quietness.
