Competitors

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.

satisfactory
Ranked #12 of 16
The PIRELLI CINTURATO WINTER 2 found itself in the 12th position among 16 competitors, securing a final rating of 'Satisfactory'. Testers appreciated its good performance on wet and winter surfaces, highlighting its ability to brake effectively and handle well under such conditions. Additionally, its high projected mileage, low wear, light weight, and reduced fuel consumption were positively noted. However, the tyre faced criticism for significant weaknesses in ride comfort and handling at the limit on dry roads. In terms of driving safety, the tyre demonstrated noticeable deficiencies, particularly its delayed response to steering commands, which affected its balance and precision. On wet surfaces, while it managed to secure good scores in braking and resistance to longitudinal aquaplaning, it slightly fell short in transverse aquaplaning and handling, lacking in precision. When it came to snowy and icy conditions, it generally performed well, especially in braking and handling, though it narrowly missed out on a high score in snow traction. The tyre's environmental footprint was commended for its efficiency, with good marks for longevity and wear, as well as its favorable weight and fuel consumption.

Ranked #4 of 6
The Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 secured the 4th position among 6 contenders in its first-ever evaluation, marking the completion of Pirelli's revamp of the Cinturato lineup. With a design that benefits from a tread that evolves as it wears, the tyre proved competitive, especially on snow where it shone close to the top of the pack. It captured second place in both traction and handling on snowy terrains, showing a commendable performance that was only slightly edged out in other conditions. Despite falling behind the leaders in wet conditions, it outperformed certain rivals, including Michelin and Vredestein, particularly in deeper aquaplaning challenges. Its balanced and stable handling was noted across various tests, despite a slight compromise in front grip compared to the very best. On dry surfaces, though, the Winter 2 lagged marginally with the slowest handling track time, revealing a softer ride and less sharp steering than its competitors. However, it distinguished itself as the quietest tyre in the lineup, offering a notably silent ride at the expense of fuel efficiency.

Securing a 7th place out of 8 competitors, the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 presented mixed results in its performance evaluation. On wet surfaces, the tire demonstrated moderately long braking distances but performed well in aquaplaning scenarios. However, it struggled with lateral grip, restricting higher cornering speeds. In dry conditions, it proved to be a reliable choice, offering a stable rear when changing loads and short braking distances, though it was considered average in efficiency. The tire faced significant challenges on snow, where it showed the longest braking distances, the least lateral support, and sluggish responses to steering commands, highlighting its weaknesses in wintry conditions.
