In a head-to-head comparison of the Maxxis Premitra HP5 and the Pirelli P7 Cinturato Blue, these two summer tyres each bring unique strengths and weaknesses. According to our gathered data from multiple tyre tests, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 scores overall 69% in our rating, while the Pirelli P7 Cinturato Blue currently does not have an aggregate rating.
The Maxxis Premitra HP5 has been particularly praised for its superior performance in aquaplaning - cross, dry handling, safety, and dry steering response. According to an Autozeitung test which included a total of 20 different tyres, the Maxxis Premitra HP5 confidently secured the 4th position. In another test by Autobild involving 52 different tyres, the same tyre slipped to position 18.
On the other hand, the Pirelli P7 Cinturato Blue stands out for its dry steering response, comfort, and low rolling resistance. However, its performance varied quite significantly across different tests. Surprisingly, in the Autobild test which is considered more comprehensive as it featured 52 different tyres, the Pirelli displayed an amazing performance, securing the 4th position. However, in the Autozeitung test, it managed only the 13th position.
While both these Maxxis and Pirelli summer tyres have their individual perks, it is the Maxxis Premitra HP5 that seems to have a slight edge. Its superior safety and handling features particularly in dry conditions appear particularly impressive. However, the Pirelli P7 Cinturato Blue cannot be dismissed lightly either and would prove to be a great choice for those valuing comfort and lower rolling resistance over other factors.
Ultimately, the choice between these two tyres will depend on your personal preferences and driving conditions. But do keep in mind that neither of these tyres have been replaced by newer models, which means you can confidently invest in either of them knowing you are acquiring the latest technology.
