Comparison: Kleber Dynaxer HP4 vs. Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2

Let's take a look at the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 and Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, two summer tyres from well-established manufacturers Kleber and Pirelli.

The Kleber Dynaxer HP4 holds a decent rating of 76% in our tests. It should be noted that this tyre shows strengths in reducing exterior noise, providing comfort for the ride, and proving good at environmental characteristics, along with offering decent tread life and fuel efficiency. However, while these positive traits make it a strong competitor in the market, the HP4 does reveal a notable weakness on wet pavement, which lead to a downgrading in its test position.

On the other hand, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2, which comes as a successor to the Pirelli P7 Cinturato, boasts an impressive rating of 86% in our tests. This tyre also demonstrates a degree of superiority over the HP4 in mutual tests, securing the 9th spot out of 17 in the ADAC test and the 2nd place out of 53 in the Autobild test. Key strengths of the Pirelli C2 include solid performance on dry roads and wet braking. However, it's not completely perfect - it's let down by slightly disappointing performance on wet roads and a slight deficiency in terms of wear and environmental footprint.

When embarking upon a direct comparison, it's clear that the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 tends to outperform the Kleber Dynaxer HP4 overall, based on our rating percentages and test rankings. The Pirelli shows particularly strong performance in terms of wet braking, a factor where the HP4 lags behind.

In conclusion, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses, but the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 proves to be the better option overall. The Kleber Dynaxer HP4 might be a worthwhile consideration for those prioritising a quiet and comfortable ride, but those in need of a more well-rounded tyre might find the Pirelli to be a superior choice.
