Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 48 owner reviews found online.

The Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde is widely regarded as a durable, high-value touring tire that excels in dry conditions and offers impressive longevity. While many users praise its predictable handling and braking performance, a subset of drivers reports concerns regarding increased road noise as the tire ages and inconsistent wet-weather traction.

Pros

  • Exceptional tread life and durability
  • Strong braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces
  • Predictable handling and cornering stability
  • High value-for-money proposition
  • Low rolling resistance contributing to fuel efficiency

Cons

  • Increased road noise as the tire wears
  • Stiff sidewalls can lead to a harsher ride on uneven surfaces
  • Inconsistent wet-weather grip for some users, particularly in colder temperatures
  • Potential for premature hardening of the rubber compound over time

Worth knowing

  • Users with smaller city cars (e.g., Fiat 500) frequently report high satisfaction with the tire's agility and stability.
  • Drivers on 17-inch or larger wheel setups occasionally noted higher levels of cabin noise compared to smaller rim diameters.
  • The tire is frequently praised for its ability to handle the weight and demands of older, heavier sedans, providing better tracking than some competitors.
