    High rolling resistance on the cinturato P7??? How can it be when i read a lot of reviews that says the opposite?

      It's difficult to judge. The other test you mentioned was in a different tyre size to this, and as you'll see from the tyre labelling, different tyre sizes get different scores in rolling resistance and wet grip, even if they're the same pattern.

      Future more, the 2 tests might have used different ways of measuring the rolling resistance, which can again affect the results.

      We publish ALL the tests so you can take an average overview of the tyre in different sizes using different tests.

      We hope this helps a little.

          Hi,

          The RE050As are good tyres. Other similar tyres worth looking at in that size are the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, the Michelin Pilot Sport 2, the Bridgestone Potenza S001 or the Conti Sport Contact 3.

        Pirelli would have either put forward the tyre they wanted featured in this test, or Auto Bild would have gone to the open market and bought what they could.

        There's a chance there was no P Zeros in the market at the time of the test so they went for the next best thing.
