The Cinturato WeatherActive is Pirelli's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of passenger cars looking for comfort and confident performance in dry, wet, and light snow conditions. The Cinturato WeatherActive meets industry severe snow service requirements for the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol and as an all-weather tire, is designed to be a single tire solution for drivers in environments that experience all four seasons, but don't receive sufficient snowfall to require a dedicated winter tire.

Cinturato WeatherActive callouts

The Cinturato WeatherActive's innovative polymer/resin compound is molded into a V-formation directional tread pattern designed to deliver dry, wet, and wintertime performance as well as quiet on-road comfort. A narrow, long footprint and rigid 3-rib block design provide lateral traction and stability through turns in dry and wet conditions. A central zig-zag groove and trumpet-shaped lateral grooves work together for wet weather handling and hydroplaning resistance. Multiple biting edges combine with deep sipes and generous shoulder notches for increased snow traction sufficient to receive the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.

The internal construction of the Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive consists of a two-ply polyester casing supporting two steel belts. Two polyamide reinforcement plies enhance high-speed stability and performance.

Note: While non-winter tires featuring the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol may provide additional longitudinal snow traction beyond what all-season (M+S) tires not bearing the symbol can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire in all adverse weather conditions.

Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive Reviews

Owners report excellent comfort with smooth ride quality and low noise levels, alongside strong treadwear that holds up well over time. Winter traction earns consistent praise (9-10 range) for confident handling in snow and slush, though a few note slightly reduced grip on ice. Wet performance stands out with top-tier hydroplaning resistance and secure cornering, backed by near-perfect scores in wet traction. Dry traction receives universal acclaim for responsive handling and stability, with many perfect 10 ratings. As a grand touring all-season tire, it delivers balanced year-round capability, particularly impressing drivers seeking refined comfort paired with reliable all-weather performance.

...On wet roads and even in downpours they handle like you are on dry roads. Even braking and cornering is excellent and I haven't experienced any hydroplaning.

I bought these tires for an anticipated road trip this next year based on the Tire Rack video where they tested All Weather tires. I am ABSOLUTELY IMPRESSED with the Pirelli Cinturato tires!! Man, INCREDIBLE! Road noise is almost nonexistent and my gas mileage on long road trips only dipped by about 0.5 mpg. The ride comfort is much better than the OEM Run-Flats!
I bought them in the summer, and they grip incredibly well for a touring tire on dry roads and are very responsive and predictable. During highly spirited driving on my “Closed Test Track”, the tires keep their line incredibly well and never feel like they are rolling the sidewall like other touring tires. Under hard acceleration and hard braking they grip incredibly well, and I have not had the ABS come on when aggressively braking.
On wet roads and even in downpours they handle like you are on dry roads. Even braking and cornering is excellent and I haven’t experienced any hydroplaning. So beyond impressed with the wet performance over the OEM Continentals!
I am finally writing this review because we finally got significant snow here in Maryland which is now severe ice. These tires far exceeded my expectations in the snow and ice! Granted, the BMW X2 is four-wheel drive but the ultimate test is always in the cornering and braking. On my “Closed Test Track” I am mind blown at the ability to accelerate, but braking and cornering, even on solid ice, is astounding! The car never feels squirrely or loose and is very responsive to steering inputs and braking in the snow, and on the ice (and I mean 2-3-inch-thick ice, no asphalt visible ICE), they just grip.
These tires will give you so much confidence in every driving condition! I will most definitely buy these again when they wear out!

Best set of tires I've owned in past 16 years living on a sloped & winding hilly cul-de-sac. It is the only set of tires that have allowed me to climb out of the cul-de-sac after snow and ice storms before the roads are cleared, and without slipping and sliding. So reasonably quiet riding that people often ask if my car is electric. These are great tires for all conditions and even when I am aggressively driving with my Sport Mode engaged. Will definitely purchase again.

...After 1,000 miles and dealing with deep snow/ice, these tires inspire a large amount of confidence. I haven't ever experienced this much traction in winter road conditions with previous tires. Roads I wouldn't even contemplate using during a snow storm are now optional and effortless...

I never leave reviews on anything, but I had to rave about these a little. After 1,000 miles and dealing with deep snow/ice, these tires inspire a large amount of confidence. I haven’t ever experienced this much traction in winter road conditions with previous tires. Roads I wouldn’t even contemplate using during a snow storm are now optional and effortless. In regards to dry traction, they aren’t exactly performance tires, but they provide decent cornering and function as most other all-season options would. A very good “all-rounder” for those who live up north and are looking for an all-season + severe winter weather rated tire. Highly recommended.

...Dry ride is perfect, no noise except on new cross pavement texturing, traction is super, feel and feedback is great, and all handling characteristics can be optimized with minor air pressure adjustments...

Hands down the best tire we have ever experienced. I have purchased them for an F-150, Q50, and Jetta. The set on my F-150 have 41K miles. Overall, it is an excellent tire. Not a full rain tire so feel in heavy rain is a little vague but no loss of traction experienced. We live in south Texas so no snow ratings. Dry ride is perfect, no noise except on new cross pavement texturing, traction is super, feel and feedback is great, and all handling characteristics can be optimized with minor air pressure adjustments. We find they are best at very close to DOT/VIN sticker recommendation. I have run these offroad on mild sandy/rocky dirt roads and the tires were not damaged. Also with full rated load in the bed with plus 5 PSI, the tires performed perfectly normal. The tires have a very clever stair step wear indicator and even on my F-150 4x4 wear is even across the tread. The only downside for me is they don't come in white letter sidewall version. I so like the white Pirelli Scorpion logo!!!

Beats the previous Michelin CrossClimate 2 we had installed. Much more comfortable ride, I think partially due to the sidewall and partially due to the tread pattern. The Pirelli tires roll smoother which seem to result in better gas mileage. I'd consider these top of category because they balance performance across all seasons with comfort which is a nice feature for our vehicle. I highly recommend them and will stick with these here-on-out unless something better comes along in a few years.

...I'm also impressed with the dry handling for a high treadwear all season...

Great tire if you live in an area that only gets moderate snow and doesn’t justify dedicated winter tires. Although, I drove through two snow storms with deep (6”+) snow on the roads and with careful driving, I was confident in the tires. Great in the rain as well and very confidence inspiring in light snow. I’m also impressed with the dry handling for a high treadwear all season, though the steering response isn’t great especially with a taller sidewall (to be expected). Very good all around tire if you don’t want to swap to winters each year. Personally I would go with a dedicated winter set in the future just so I can put summers back on for warm weather and more spirited driving.
