Pirelli has unveiled its latest Cinturato summer tire, designed specifically for premium sedans and CUVs. Developed for both original equipment (OE) and replacement markets, this next-generation tire integrates cutting-edge virtual design technology to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability. As part of Pirelli’s eco-friendly innovation strategy, the new Cinturato sets a new industry benchmark for performance and reliability.
With exceptional braking performance, the tire ranks #1 in dry braking tests conducted by independent evaluators. Additionally, its full lineup has achieved an A-class rating on the European tire label, proving its superior wet grip capabilities. Compared to its predecessor, the new Cinturato boasts a 20% increase in mileage, while its lower rolling resistance contributes to reduced fuel consumption and higher efficiency.
Pirelli’s patented innovative compounds are at the core of the new Cinturato’s game-changing technology. These advanced materials overcome traditional trade-offs, delivering an optimal balance between braking grip, durability, and rolling resistance. This balance is achieved through a unique synergy between a star-shaped polymer structure and a specialized resin blend.
The introduction of SmartNet Silica, a next-generation silica compound, further enhances performance. With its long, orderly molecular structure, SmartNet Silica successfully balances cornering grip and stability with reduced rolling resistance, making the Cinturato an ideal choice for both city and highway driving.
The new summer tire joins the ranks of Pirelli’s award-winning Cinturato lineup, including:
Additionally, the new Cinturato will be available with Pirelli’s Elect technology package, catering specifically to electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles for maximum efficiency.
As Pirelli’s longest-running tire brand, Cinturato has a history dating back to the 1950s, originally developed for Formula 1 and rally cars. It was also Pirelli’s first radial tire, named after its reinforced textile or metal belt structure, which provided enhanced strength and stability.
Over the years, Cinturato has continuously evolved, with specialized versions designed to prioritize safety, efficiency, and performance. Today, it stands as Pirelli’s best-selling tire worldwide, chosen by premium automakers from Europe to North America and Asia. In the last five years alone, Cinturato has secured 145 homologations and has been the original equipment for over 60 vehicle models.
With its latest advancements, the new Pirelli Cinturato summer tire redefines performance, safety, and sustainability, solidifying its place as a leader in the premium tire market.
