Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2

The Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 is a premium summer tyre that earned an 89% rating from us. In the Autobild test, the P7 C2 ranked 2nd out of 53 tyres, illustrating its high performance, particularly in areas of comfort, rolling resistance, and wet braking.

Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun

On the other hand, the Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun secured a 72% rating on our scale. Testing 8th just in the Autobild 2024 test, this tyre demonstrates good Aquaplaning resistance and commendable rolling resistance. The Ecorun provides balanced handling on dry roads. However, it does exhibit understeering on wet roads and a slightly delayed steering response.
