Default Pirelli P7 Cinturato tires / 2016 F Sport AWD

Anyone have experience with these tires? Currently running Michelin Primacy MXM4 on my 19” wheels.
Has high ratings and all season tire.

Yes. I got a set off Ebay when they were on Clearance for about $500 shipped. Great tires and I would definitely get them again, dependent on its current price compared to other choices. That said, I do not track or drive aggressively. At most, I do spirited driving on the streets. No problems at all and they are quiet, comfortable, and wear nicely. I have about 20k miles on them now, probably can get another 15k easily or another 20k if pushed.

I believe there are two versions of the Pirelli's: The Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season and the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. Pops has the former on his 3GS and it was night and day difference between his previous run flats...very cushy and cloud-9 type feeling over all bumps with the Pirellli's. Personally wasn't impressed by its handling/cornering but they certainly are softer tires and float a bit more than the Dunlops on my 4GS i'm comparing them to.

Are you happy with the current Michelin's? Tires make a world of difference to ride quality - if you find a tire you like, its a good idea to stick with them unless you have a good tire shop that might be willing to swap out in the event you go with the Pirelli's and you don't like them...

I have Cinturato A/S Plus on my ‘16 GS AWD non-F sport with stock 18” rims (A/S Plus II on one rim as I took a nail to the shoulder of the original A/S Plus and had to replace it. The A/S Plus is no longer produced.) I love them and will be getting another set once these wear out, although will likely increase width to 245 over the stock 235’s.

FWIW when I had my ES with the OG Cinturatos (got them for under $500(!) for 4 from Amazon), they lasted around 30k before it started getting real dangerous in the rain. The first 20-25k was awesome..YMMV

Also curious about the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. My car had Toyo Proxes 4 Plus All-Season Radial Tire - 235/40R19 96Y when I bought the car, so I just kept getting them as needed. No one caries them and I always have to order them and wait a day or so.

Curious if one is 'better' than the other. I only know TOYO brand from fast and furious movies, HAHA

Same here. P7 plus with increased size of 245/40-19. Highly recommended!
I ran the P7 plus on my LS430 for over 45k miles. Still had approx. 4/32 thread wear when I sold the LS.
That's why I put them on my GS to replace the Michelins.

I may go with those as well. Just looked stuff up yesterday and saw that my TOYO Proxes are 'ultra performace' tires. Which sounds cool, but I have NO use for ultra performance, lol. I drive 'spirited' but nothing crazy

I got the Bridgestone Quiettrack a month ago and took them on a road trip about 1500 miles. What an improvement with steering input and overall ride and responsiveness over the OEM! I was going to go with the Perelli but when I found out they wet made in China i cancelled my order from Discount Tire and so glad I did.

Made in China?
Pirelli P7 Cinturato All Season Plus II are generally made in MX (Mexico) and a few sizes are made in BR (Brazil).
This is the style most people put on GS350.

I stand corrected. They aren’t made in China, but they are a Chinese firm controls Pirelli’s biggest investor, Marco Polo. I simply refuse to make a purchase of it has China tag to it if I can help it.

Probably 70% of any small electric component is made in China. Just because it wasn’t assembled in China doesn’t mean won’t have Chinese parts. Baseball caps, made in China, air conditioners made in China and so on...
