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.

Customers Say

Feedback patterns show the Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive delivers excellent comfort with a smooth, quiet ride that earns consistent top marks. Treadwear receives strong praise, with many noting impressive longevity for an all-season tire. Winter traction stands out as a strength, with high scores in snow and slush, though a few reports mention slightly reduced ice performance. Wet traction earns near-perfect ratings for grip and hydroplaning resistance, while dry traction maintains confident handling and responsiveness. While most categories show outstanding performance, a small number of ratings note slightly faster wear or increased noise in specific conditions, though these remain exceptions in overwhelmingly positive feedback.

...These have fantastic cornering and steering feel in the dry and they do great in the wet too...

Well since there are no reviews yet on these tires figured I’d do a first initial review and update later if it changes to help someone. Was between these and the new Goodyear ElectricDrive GT. Decided on Perelli as I’ve never like Goodyear tires. Compared to the original cont. pro contact rx (stock 19 inch tires) these are even quieter. Smooth and buttery ride and great efficiency! Was kinda iffy if I wanted to pay the extra money for the “elect” but just having worn through the cont. pure contact in 30,000 miles, these are the best tires for my Tesla and I do think the elect definitely makes a difference. I was shocked leaving the tire shop and getting on the highway after install and having it be SO QUIET. Can just hear wind noise now -_- Pure contacts from day 1 had annoying growl/hum after about 35- 40 mph and just got worse as they wore. Efficiency is actually quite shocking. Low to mid 200’s in WINTER (pzero)! Even worn down bald pure contacts were high 200’s almost 300 from day 1 and never improved much at all. These have fantastic cornering and steering feel in the dry and they do great in the wet too. Haven’t experienced snow or ice yet so can’t give anything on that yet. So far so good! Definitely will update later on. Maybe come summer time which will put me about half way through the tire.

Great handling in wet, in dry, in a little snow, and in some ice...

Great handling in wet, dry, a little snow, and some ice. No deep snow yet. Downside: took a fairly big hit on range. OE Michelins were great on range, noise, dry handling and awful on treadwear. Looking forward to future options that don’t take as big a bite out of range but still handle like a performs e tire. As usual, Tire Rack rocked, including warning me of a potential range hit.

...We drove in 500miles in -6 degrees with 3-6" of snow that was drifting across the road. Cars and trucks were sliding off of the highway all over 70 and 71. No slipping even when I went up steep hills, through snow drifts and icy conditions.

I put these tires on right before the Christmas blizzard in the Midwest. These tires are amazing! So much better in the snow and ice than the OEM tire (Goodyear EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 5 (M+S)). Last year we hit some snow and the OEM tires were not good at all, no traction on snow or ice. Slippery and dangerous even with 4 wheel drive in the Tesla.

The Pirelli P ZERO ALL SEASON PLUS ELECT are so much better! We drove in 500miles in -6 degrees with 3-6" of snow that was drifting across the road. Cars and trucks were sliding off of the highway all over 70 and 71. No slipping even when I went up steep hills, through snow drifts and icy conditions. I even went out and did some doughnuts in a parking lot for fun.

Couldn't be happier, so much better than the OEM in all aspects. They are quiet, tread life should be better, around 50K (only 28K on OEM) and confidence in the snow!

Only about 1,000 miles so far on my 2021 Tesla Y, but so far - really good! Much quieter than the stock tires and better winter performance. We'll see how they wear, but I am optimistic!

...Customers indicate that Pirelli has created an impressive tire, noting "Pirelli really hit the ball out of the park with this offering. I would argue that the ride is better with this specifically engineered electric vehicle tire and the treat wear has been good so far (about 10k miles). Wear is even."...

I was very impressed with this tire. It exceeds the OEM tire which was very carefully selected by Tesla.

I have put an number of different tires on my the Tesla Model S as I have 150k miles on my vehicle now. After trying many different combinations I went back to the OEM tire that was delivered to the vehicle because they were the "quietest" with the foam inserts.

Pirelli really hit the ball out of the park with this offering. I would argue that the ride is better with this specifically engineered electric vehicle tire and the treat wear has been good so far (about 10k miles). Wear is even. The ride is excellent. And with the noise absorbing foam in these tires it is very quiet. I had previously tried many versions of Michelin tires that were not engineered for electric vehicles the tires wore out very quickly due to the weight of the vehicle.

This tire have exceeded my expectations.

Pretty overrated for the first 2k miles. Dry traction, steering response, cornering, noise comfort all declined after I switched from OEM Goodyear F1 Eagles to these. It's enough time for them to break in. They are not terrible, but they are nothing as described in Tirerack's praise and all those rosy reviews. I may update my review after 10k miles.

...The tires are far more comfortable than the rubber band it had before and the noise dampening is awesome where I hear virtually no road noise...

These tires have held up extremely well and have exceeded my expectations. I rotate them every 3-4k miles and keep adequate tire pressure in them year around. I do not take it easy on them though with my driving style. Now that they have some wear on them, my only noticeable area that they suffer is from wet corner handling at above "recommended" speeds on certain pavement types. To the normal driver, in a non performance Tesla, this would not be an issue!! The tires are far more comfortable than the rubber band it had before and the noise dampening feature is awesome where I hear virtually no road noise. I will purchase the same set of tires next time around!!!

...We had 13,000 miles on the P-Zeros, and probably could have driven them another 5,000-8,000 miles, but they were starting to get noisy. These, hopefully, with a high treadwear rating, should last us at least 30,000 miles--probably more.

So far, these tires are great. I replaced my P-Zero OE tires with these--they are noticeably quieter and, surprisingly, a bit more efficient. We don't drive our Mach-E hard, so we don't really notice any difference in handling except perhaps when going around a corner to accelerate onto the freeway, if we go hard, you can tell that the sidewalls on these are a bit softer, but not enough to cause us to drive any differently.

...Plus, with a treadware rating of 500, they will likely last at least 2-3 times as long as the OE tires.

Replaced my OE Pirellis high performance tires with these. Love them so far. We don't drive our Mach-E hard enough to justify the higher performance tires. These work just fine. They are very quiet, smooth, and, surprisingly, more efficient than the OE Pirellis. Plus, with a treadware rating of 500, they will likely last at least 2-3 times as long as the OE tires.
