This model was manufactured with Pirelli’s Run Flat technology that enables the tire to be driven on for a limited time after air pressure loss. The special Green Performance technology, on the other hand, guarantees a fuel efficient performance.

On top of this, the tire ensures a lengthened tread life and usability with the prevention of uneven tread wear. It’s reinforced internal structure prevents deformation under the driving pressure and enhances the higher speed durability and uniformity.

All Season Performance

All season tires have the advantage on the tire market, as they do not need to be changed in accordance with the seasons. They are capable of performing well both in warmer and colder temperatures, without losing their traction or sustaining weather damage. These tires ensure excellent driving safety throughout the year.

The Cinturato P7 All Season Run Flat was designed with an optimized siping detail that increases the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. To further enhance this, the tire was made from a special high-silica all season compound that maintains the tire’s flexibility even in colder temperatures. In this manner, the tire ensures a secure year round performance.

Furthermore, the tire conquers hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard that causes the vehicle to skid when standing water or slush, located on the road surface, cuts off the tire’s contact with the road surface. The tread design’s circumferential grooves manage to channel the water and slush away from the tire’s footprint and ensure constant road contact which enhances the driving security.

Run Flat Tire

Run flat tires are a special category as they are manufactured with a heavier and stronger construction to allow them to withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers in case of air pressure loss. When air pressure leaves the Cinturato P7 All Season Run Flat, due to a puncture or other damage, the strengthened construction enables the tire to be safely driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. As a result, the driver is not stranded on the side of the road in such instances, rather they can drive to a near location where they can change or fix the tire.

Run flat tires are made with a heavier construction than regular tires, because of which they can not be mixed and matched on the same vehicle.

Fuel Efficiency

The more fuel efficient a tire is, the less energy the vehicle needs to maintain its motion. It’s a simple law of physics, an object can perform better when there is lower external pressure affecting it. Tires perform the same way.

The special Green Performance technology utilizes different manufacturing methods to lower the Cinturato P7 All Season Run Flat’s rolling resistance. The low rolling resistance tire compound, the optimal tread design that evenly distributes the driving pressure enhance the tire’s performing capability which eases the driving pressure off its surface. This decreases the rolling resistance, which is the pressure affecting the model that determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to maintain the tire’s motion. The reduced rolling resistance lowers the vehicle’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, which ensures a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.

Lengthened Tread Life

The longer the tire’s tread life is, the longer it can be used. Manufacturers strive to achieve longer tread lives to satisfy their customers and make their tires more desirable.

Firstly, Pirelli uses its lowered rolling resistance to significantly slow the tread wear rate down. The lessened rolling resistance takes the driving pressure off the tire, while the tires are in motion, to guarantee an extended tread life and tire usability. Secondly, the Cinturato P7 All Season Run Flat features a tread design that manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthen the tread life and the tire’s usability by preventing the formation of irregular wear across the tread area. The longer lasting even tread wear ensures an extended tread life and usability.

Comfortable Performance

Touring tires are known for their high comfort levels. They ensure lowered road noise and vibration levels to guarantee their excellent driving comfort.

The Cinturato P7 All Season Run Flat features a reinforced internal structure. The twin steel belt construction on top of the polyester cord ensure the tire’s optimal shape under the driving pressure affecting the tire. The reinforced structure prevents the deformation of the shape during the drive. The polyester cord manages to decrease the road vibration levels during the drive. It absorbs the shock of driving while the tires are in motion, which decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin.

The constant even tread wear and the special tread profile work together to reduce the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle’s cabin. The improved road noise levels guarantee a quiet drive as the generated road and tread noise are cancelled out before they can reach the vehicle’s cabin. This ensures an enjoyable driving experience in all weather.
