Both offerings from renowned manufacturers Goodyear and Pirelli, promise excellent efficiency, and barring a few differences, provide similar levels of performance.

The tyre offers superb value for money and fits comfortably on a range of vehicles. As per Autobild's test results, the tyre ranked 13th out of 53, showcasing strengths in mileage, comfort, and price-value ratio. However, its aquaplaning resistance and dry braking capabilities were noted as areas of improvement in the TyreReviews.com 2023 test.


On the other hand, Pirelli's Cinturato P7 C2 delights with an impressive overall rating of 86%. This tyre, a successor to the Pirelli P7 Cinturato, offers wonderful wet handling, as highlighted in Tyre Reviews' tests. The Cinturato P7 C2 performed exceptionally well, ranking 2nd in Autobild's test out of 53. Its strengths in aquaplaning - longitudinal, comfort, rolling resistance, and wet braking were applauded.
