The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 generally impresses users with its exceptional ride comfort, low noise levels, and improved fuel efficiency due to low rolling resistance. While many drivers praise its reliable wet and dry grip alongside solid longevity, some experience mixed performance regarding high-speed handling stability and winter capabilities.
Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews
71/100From 17 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
74/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 generally impresses users with its exceptional ride comfort, low noise levels, and improved fuel efficiency due to low rolling resistance. While many drivers praise its reliable wet and dry grip alongside solid longevity, some experience mixed performance regarding high-speed handling stability and winter capabilities.
Pros
- Extremely quiet and comfortable ride quality
- Low rolling resistance improving fuel economy and MPG
- Strong longevity and slow tread wear over high mileage
- Reliable everyday grip in wet and dry conditions
Cons
- Lack of steering precision and reactivity compared to summer tires
- Soft sidewalls causing a 'jelly-like' or unstable feel during high-speed cornering
- Inconsistent performance in severe snow, ice, or slush for certain drivers
- Potential balancing issues and manufacturing quality control concerns
Worth knowing
- Users running these on electric and hybrid vehicles (like the Golf GTE) appreciated the low rolling resistance and quiet operation.
- Heavier vehicles or larger setups noted distinct sidewall flex and handling instability when pushed at higher speeds on dual carriageways.
