The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 is a winter tire that has received mixed but generally positive feedback across various tests and dimensions, reflecting its comprehensive design to handle winter conditions effectively while balancing performance on dry roads.
In terms of strengths, the Cinturato Winter 2 is widely commended for its performance on wet surfaces, particularly noted for its good grip, shorter braking distances, and strong aquaplaning resistance. Its capabilities extend commendably to snow-covered roads, where it provides reassuring handling, sufficient reserves in the grip margin, and effective braking on snow and ice. Beyond its winter prowess, the Cinturato Winter 2 is recognized for its high projected mileage and low wear rate, which contribute to its overall economic value and environmental efficiency, reflected in reduced fuel consumption and lower weight compared to competitors.
However, the tire does face criticism in specific areas. On dry roads, feedback indicates noticeable weaknesses in driving comfort and handling precision at the limit, with tendencies towards understeer noted. Although still capable overall, its responses to steering inputs can be perceived as delayed or less direct, affecting driving confidence in emergency maneuvers or aggressive driving scenarios. Moreover, comfort levels are described as average, with some tests observing a compromise between a quiet ride and fuel efficiency.
Summarily, the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 emerges as a well-rounded winter tire option that excels in its designated conditions of wet and snowy roads, offering safety and reliability. Yet, for drivers prioritizing dynamic dry road performance and ultimate comfort, the tire's performance profiles suggest areas of potential compromise. These attributes position the Cinturato Winter 2 as a strong contender in the winter tire market, particularly for drivers valuing safety and efficiency across diverse winter conditions.
Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 is made in 32 sizes, starting from 205/55 R16 up to 215/45 R20.
