Pirelli Cinturato P7 (P7C2) Run Flat Tires
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 (P7C2) Run Flat (*) is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes available. This specific tire is the original equipment tire of select BMW vehicles.
This is a run flat tire model. It features a strong internal structure that withstands the weight of the vehicle and its passengers, once air pressure loss occurs. In other words, the tire manages to perform for 50 miles up to 50 mph in case of air pressure loss. This enables the tire’s limited, temporary performance, preventing the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle as regular tires, due to their heavier construction.
Low rolling-resistance tires provide better fuel economy. Lowered fuel usage is achieved with the tire’s decreased rolling resistance. This is the pressure regulating the vehicle’s fuel consumption throughout the performance. Higher rolling resistance levels result in greater fuel intake. As the tire manages to lower this pressure, it is able to ensure a fuel-conscious driving experience.
Excellent controllability is promoted with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern and the durable rubber compound maintain close road contact at all times. It improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire’s steering response time is quicker and more precise to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. At the same time, the wide shoulder blocks boost cornering and maneuvering during the performance. These elements guarantee a safe driving experience.
Summer-weather traction and hydroplaning resistance are ensured with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern maintains road contact at all times, while the summer compound prevents heat build-up in warmer temperatures. These elements ensure the model’s perfect dry and wet-weather traction. On the other hand, the optimized grooves on the tread area effectively eliminate water from the footprint in wet-weather conditions.
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 (P7C2) Run Flat (*) ensures a quiet and comfortable performance. The variable pitch pattern manages to negate the sound waves heard in the vehicle’s cabin while the tires are in motion. This pattern cancels the road and tread pattern noise heard by the passengers, preventing road disturbances from ruining the passengers’ driving enjoyment. The result are high driving comfort levels.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
