The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 and
Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun are two notable contenders in the touring summer tyre sector. Given the quality and reputation of Pirelli and Falken, the manufacturers respectively, these models warrant streamlined comparison.
Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2
The

excellent Aquaplaning resistance. However, it is not without its drawbacks, namely slightly longer dry braking distances and a higher price level, which were critiqued.
