Even though I have a set of winter tires for the upcoming cold months (I'm in New England), I'm looking for all-season tires for the rest of the year for my '04 R53 m/c/s.

Looking to replace my Yokohama Avid Envigors, which (on dry roads) handle very well, but are terribly noisy and not so hot in wet conditions.

Was wondering if anyone here could share their experiences with the Pirelli Cinturato P7s, which have great all-around ratings.

Excellent tread wear, dry/wet handling and low road noise top the list of things I'd like in my next set of tires.

TIA

 

I have Pirelli Cinturato P7 (non-RF) tires on my R52 MINI Cooper S convertible and have been pleased with the performance. Noise level is low and handling is very good (for an all season tire) in both wet and dry conditions. My tires are 16" and the comfort level is also good in my opinion. I have only had these tires for 3 months and 1500 miles, so I cannot comment on tread wear or winter performance.

 

Thanks for your reply. That pretty much echos what others (sans MINI) have said about the tire, although I did want the specific opinion of a MINI owner. I see you're in Michigan, so winter driving is at play here. Are your plans to keep them on through the winter?

 

I will keep the Pirelli tires on the MINI year round, but it will spend most of the winter in storage. FWIW, my dealer informed me he thought the MINI would be fine for winter driving.

My MINI is in good condition for a decade-old car. I hope to keep it that way, so a salt-free diet is a priority.
