The Cinturato P7 Run Flat tires are Pirelli's Ultra High Performance Summer run-flat tire developed for the drivers of sport coupes, sedans and crossover vehicles. Cinturato P7 Run Flat tires feature Pirelli's Self-Supporting Run Flat Technology that enhances safety and convenience by providing temporary extended mobility in the event a puncture allows complete loss of air pressure. Pirelli's Self-Supporting Run Flat Technology allows tires to literally "run flat" for up to 50 miles at 50 mph (80 km at 80 km/h) unless otherwise specified by the vehicle manufacturer for Original Equipment tires. Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), so the Cinturato P7 Run Flat tires, like all summer tires, are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The Cinturato P7 Run Flat's unique combination of qualities have been made possible by Pirelli's Green Performance approach to developing products offering a synergy of driving pleasure, performance, safety and respect of the environment. The Pirelli Ecoimpact icons on the sidewalls of Cinturato P7 Run Flat tires highlight their contribution to the environment with regards to energy efficiency, clean air, low noise and long wear.

The Cinturato P7 Run Flat uses a low rolling resistance tread compound that features technologically advanced polymers to increase grip on wet and dry roads while it reduces vehicle fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design that promotes even wear, improves ride comfort and reduces noise levels. A robust shoulder and continuous ribs on the outboard portion of the tire enhance lateral grip on dry roads while four circumferential channels provide efficient expulsion of water from the contact patch to enhance hydroplaning resistance and wet traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by nylon cap plies to provide high speed-durability. Pirelli's extended mobility solution is made possible by their MIRS computer-controlled robotized manufacturing system, a production process that assures consistency in the application of the additional sidewall reinforcements that provide the self-supporting run-flat capability.

Note: Cinturato P7 Run Flat tires are designed and produced using eco-focused manufacturing methods and feature low rolling resistance (LRR) compounds and constructions to enhance the vehicle fuel economy of their Original Equipment applications. These tires are identified as such with Pirelli's Ecoimpact designation on their Sizes and Specs pages.

Though they cannot be labeled as run-flat tires, tires branded with MOExtended or MOE on their sidewalls offer run-flat-like characteristics by delivering limited temporary extended mobility after a puncture results in complete loss of air pressure. Because MOExtended or MOE tires do not have the same speed and distance endurance of conventional run-flat tires, they should not be substituted in any situation where a conventional run-flat tire is required. To confirm what your vehicle needs, check our Original Equipment tire listing for your year, make and model or see your vehicle owner's manual.

Pirelli Reviews

Customer feedback data reveals strong dry traction (8-10 scores) with precise steering and confident cornering, excelling in summer conditions. Wet traction receives consistent praise (7-10 scores) for reliable grip and hydroplaning resistance. Comfort shows mixed results: many highlight a smooth, quiet ride (7-10 scores), while others report harshness or noise (3-6 scores). Treadwear ratings vary widely, with some customers noting premature wear (0-5 scores) and others reporting durability (7-10 scores). As an ultra-high-performance summer tire, it delivers on core dry/wet capabilities, though treadlife experiences depend on usage patterns. Noise and comfort trade-offs align with typical performance priorities for this category.

...I live in the PNW and I have also been pleased with the wet handling of this tire. I also notice far less squirm on grooved freeway pavement than with the Dunlop tires...

I've had these on my car now for over a year. I absolutely love these tires over the factory Dunlop tires. They are much quieter, deliver a comfortable ride, and provide better mileage without sacrificing any performance that I can discern. I live in the PNW and I have also been pleased with the wet handling of this tire. I also notice far less squirm on grooved freeway pavement than with the Dunlop tires. I have had to do a few emergency maneuvers (avoidance, panic stopes) and these tires performed confidently under those conditions. All that said, I am not an aggressive driver and have never gone a track, so my opinion should be tempered by that.

I definitely plan to stick with these tires for the next replacement cycle.

...These tires have excellent grip, wet or dry (no winter driving as I have Pirelli Winter Zero FR tires)...

I blew out one of my OEM Continental SSR tires on a hidden pot hole and needed to replace all the tire as the car has ADW. I really didn't like the OEM tires. They had plenty of grip, but they rode super harsh and were surprisingly noisy. I've had other performance Continental and really liked them. I was hoping to avoid another set of Run Flats as they ride harsher. The only tires that they could get soon was the Pirelli P7 run flats or the OEM tires. I figured I'd give the P7's a shot as I really liked them om my wife's 2010 Mini. Clubman. I have not been disappointed. These tires have excellent grip, wet or dry (no winter driving as I have Pirelli Winter Zero FR tires). What's truly amazing is how much smoother and quieter these tires are when compared to the OEM. They are the same size and both are Run Flats. I am super impressed and am quite happy with these tires. A set of non run flats were put on the Clubman and they worked great on that car as well. Smoother and quieter than the previous Goodyear performance all seasons tires. I'm very pleased and would highly recommend these tires. I can't speak to tread life as I have only put 5000 miles on them, but so far they are holding up just fine and show virtually no wear

...Vastly better steering feel, better grip, more progressive at the limit, quieter, softer ride...

These tires are outstanding. Compared to the Goodyear Eagle NCT5 RFTs they replaced, they're better in every way. Vastly better steering feel, better grip, more progressive at the limit, quieter, softer ride. They remind me a bit of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3's, but a bit stickier, and run-flat, and you can't use them in the winter.

...On 17 inch wheels, these Pirelli P7 tires transform the car... they're amply responsive, grippy and provide a satisfying feel of the road, unlike the overly soft, somewhat lifeless driving experience those Hankooks provide...

Our 2015 Mini Cooper S came with Hankook Optimo A/S rubber on 16 inch wheels. Like all but the very best all-season tires, they are really `no season¿ tires and do nothing especially well. On 17 inch wheels, these Pirelli P7 tires transform the car. No, they¿re not Pilot Super Sports, but the Cooper S isn¿t an M2 with a coil over suspension either. On this small car, with stock suspension, the P7s are amply responsive, grippy and provide a satisfying feel of the road, unlike the overly soft, somewhat lifeless driving experience those Hankooks provide. We get plenty of liquid sunshine here in the Pacific Northwest, and the Pirellis seem to handle it well.

I wouldn¿t want to run these tires through the deepest part of winter, snow or not, as they begin to stiffen below about 40 F; and for that Dunlop Winter Sports on the 16 inch wheels seem to be a very good cold weather match for this car.

All told, these tires and the `plus 1¿ wheels have been a nice addition to the Cooper S. For the cost of a set of wheels and tires, you can bring out the go kart in your Mini that you won¿t know is there if you¿re running the stock A/S wheel and tire combo. Fitted with a six-speed, and these tires, the car is stable, responsive and plenty of fun to drive - and I say that with an E36 M3 and an M2 as daily drivers for comparison.

I have had Pirelli P7 All season run flats before this, which had inadequate steering responsiveness, and Continental Contisportcontact 5 SSR's, which are more sporting than I can use on the public roads and harsher riding than I would like. Among the run-flat options for my BMW, these are the best that I have found. They combine more than satisfactory steering responsiveness to be fun when conditions allow, plus a creamy and relatively quiet ride so that I can enjoy the luxury of the car when trundling along with traffic, which is most of my driving. They do have a poor wear rating. I switch to Pirelli Sotto Zero Serie II in the winter, which I also enjoy. Had I been willing to use go-flat tires I probably would have chosen Michelin Pilot Super Sports, but as it is, these excellent tires were my best choice.

...Overall I got 16,000 miles on them and the wear bars are showing. I will look for a less aggressive, longer lasting tire next time.

Purchased for a 2018 BMW X1. Summer ultra high performance run flat version. Probably overkill for an SUV with higher center of gravity. Tires were very sticky in all environments. These are better suited for a sedan than an SUV I think. Sometimes felt like I could flip the car in an aggressive turn due to vehicles higher center of gravity coupled with the stickiness of the tire and extreme responsiveness. Excellent for warm weather rainy season in South Florida, though. You should definitely buy a summer tire if you live in year round warm climates. It may save your life since summer tires have shorter stopping distances and better grip over all-seasons in warm climates. Never ever lost traction. Always confident. Overall I got 16,000 miles on them and the wear bars are showing. I will look for a less aggressive, longer lasting tire next time.
