depend how u define SOFT and HARD

soft rubber compound or soft sidewall ?

omg nestum taiko come already, cabut...

btw i mean compound....

just got those tyres fitted on my '05 altis. First impressions are good, very quiet with low rolling resistance. Will see how long it will last. Cheers!

i dun tink my pirelli cinturato p1 thread wear is high because after 30k, seems like there are still 75% thread

I changed the GY Excellence to these when the GY was worn out. Not as good, but ok la f I corner within limits. So waiting for them to wear off when I'll get something else.

Used this for 1 year plus...so far so good. 40K+ and thread wear still good. i've been using michelin PP,PZero Rosso,Brig RE001,Federel 595 evo,Toyo TR1 and this. all in my 6+ years of my car.

FYI i only change when the tyre really2 worn. choose this because of the wear, and no regret. Abit expensive tho.

The worst is Michelin and Toyo. after 15k botak habis.

Interm of speed it depends on speed rating. 200 is nothing actually, even 220 still ok.

My tyre
215/45/17R

any feedback for Cinturato P1? anyone know the price range for 15'inch ?

i just got quoted RM290 each for 195/60R15

I got quoted P1s for RFT. The price is low due to made in China. I wonder if that's bad being made in China.

RFT stands for what...
Is ur android phone or iphone bad?

Run flat tyre

Hello, i've changed to this Pirelli P1
per pc is RM350+6% gst = RM371
Size 205/55/R16

First impression, much quieter and comfort than my previous GT Radial Champiro (super noisy tyre).
Less rolling resistance, dry grip is good enough for me as i don't drive fast in Penang island (traffic lights everywhere, short distance ~15km per trip)

I choose this instead of Michelin Primacy 3ST (RM370+6%=RM392) due to Pirelli P1 could last longer KM (as per advise by shop owner), hopefully really can last 40k to 50k KM.

But the boss said, if i already using Michelin Primacy before, he will definitely suggest me to continue with it, as it's quietness and comfort level is better than Pirelli P1.

Hope this sharing helps

Actually even the Primacy 3ST should easily last over 50k km. With such small difference in price between the 2, I'd go with the 3ST if I were you. But yeah the P1 should last even longer.

Oh really? I should go for Primacy then... Nvm next time sure will
Thanks for sharing

Bro, share your experience on the Federal 595 Evo. Those are wicked looking treads. Heard lots about it. How it compares vs P1.? Cincturato?

Hi Guys,

I owned a Jetta and it comes with Pirelli P7 (Made in Brazil) after 5 years. The style of my driving is city between speed to 0-100KM, i hate following a slow car in front. Highway usually top speed at 160KM. I am very happy with the tyre for the reasons as below.
Tyre spec (205/55/16)
- Good Grip (Both Wet and Dry) I never felt the car perform different on heavy rain or hot day.
- Noise (I dunno how to judge but the engine and the motobike is more nosier while in the car)
- Handling (I am very confident neg. corner at the preferred speed)

The car clocked in 30K mileage (low mileage) and the tyre is 5 years old and is time to replace.

I have been shopping for awhile on tyre to replace the current Pirelli P7 (205/55/16) (Made in Brazil).

I have shortlisted to the following:
1. Michelin PS3 (Top Choice because of recommendation and made in Thailand)
2. Pirelli Cinturato P7 (Second Top Choice because of good sidewall but it was Made in China. If it is not Made in China it would be my top choice)
3. Continental CC5/MC5 (Eliminated because of soft sidewall and mostly recommend Michelin PS3)

The prices:
1. Michelin PS3 (Thailand Made) (RM 355 - excl. GST)
2. Pirelli Cinturato P7 (China Made) (RM 360 - excl. GST)
3. Continental CC5/MC5 (Malaysia Made if i remembered correctly) (RM 360 - excl. GST)

I would love to heard some feedback on Pirelli Cinturato P7 (Made in China) from LowYat folks here. If no good feedback about the it, I might want to go for Michelin PS3 for good record tracking purpose.

Thank You.

Oops. Seems like i posted in the wrong thread.

By the way, i seen some ppl commented about P7 is mid cat. and PS3 is UHP cat. which is one grade above mid-cat.

whre u get ur hands on P7?
when i change to P1 few years back, there is only P1 available...
i was asking for P7 but no stock...
anyway, after 2 years using P1, the wet grip not really good when heavy rain(hardly road in front that kind of heavy rain)
can feel car sway left and right abit when speed is around 90/100km/h...

I am staying in Penang. Found 2 shops are selling P7 for 205/55/16, One recommended me P7 another one PS3. Another shop told me P7 do not have for 16" tyre in Malaysia.

I have another vehicle equipped with the Conti. CC5. The P1 and CC5 are entry level tyre as I learned lately. I too have the same problem as you experience on P1 for my CC5. Very shaky on high speed, neg. corner is nightmare.

You may check on https://www.facebook.com/PirelliTiresMalaysia/ which i stubmle upon through Google. I just message them to verify if P7 do have for 16" tyre in Malayisa.
