I’ve been using the Cinturato P7 Run Flat tires for a year now, and I must say they perform really well in the dry. The grip is fantastic, and I feel confident driving at speed.

3

I totally agree! The dry grip is awesome. Have you noticed how they handle in the rain? I’ve had mixed experiences.

4

In wet conditions, I’ve found them adequate but not exceptional. They tend to skid a bit when cornering aggressively. Anyone else experiencing this?

5

I’ve experienced the same! I think braking distance increases a little when wet, but they are still better than some brands I’ve tried.

I live in an area with heavy rain, and while the Cinturato P7 has decent grip, I wouldn’t push them too hard during downpours. Better safe than sorry!

7

They seem to have a solid performance on the highway, but during sudden stops in wet weather, I’d say the braking distance could be improved.

8

I think run flats offer peace of mind, but the ride can feel stiffer compared to standard tires—especially over potholes.

Absolutely! While I love the idea of not worrying about flat tires, I wish they had a softer ride. Anyone else feel this way?

I’ve had some fun driving in the dry with these tires! I love how responsive they are when taking sharp turns. It’s like going on a roller coaster!

11

Haha, I feel you! It is indeed a thrilling experience in the dry! Just be cautious when it rains!

12

Is it just me, or do these tires wear out faster? I’ve had them for about 25,000 miles, and I’m already seeing noticeable wear.

I’ve noticed the same! It’s kind of concerning for a premium tire. How’s everyone else’s tread life?

14

I’ve been meaning to ask, anyone experienced road noise with these? Mine seem quieter compared to my old tires, but I’m curious about others’ experiences.

15

Good question! They are quieter for me too. It’s a nice change from the noise I had before. 10/10 for tranquility!

While I appreciate the benefits of run flat tires, I sometimes wonder if they’re overrated. They have their pros, but I cannot shake that feeling. Anyone else?

I’ve been using the Cinturato P7 Run Flat for about six months, and overall, I’m quite impressed. The ride comfort is noticeably better than standard tires, and I haven’t encountered excessive road noise.

18

That sounds great, juan39! How do they handle vibrations on rough roads? I’m curious about that.

I also found the Cinturato P7 Run Flat to be better in vibration absorption compared to my previous tires. It feels more stable, especially on highways!

That’s good to hear! Do you feel any difference in handling during tight turns?
