Pirelli has released its new Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II.

Part of Pirelli’s Plus line of products, which the company says are specifically designed to better meet the needs of drivers in the North American market, the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II has a new tread compound and an optimized footprint for improved behavior on wet surfaces, Pirelli says. In particular, Pirelli says the new Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II showed an improved wet stopping distance.

Another area on which Pirelli’s engineers have focused to develop this new tire has been the wet handling and wet traction, while maintaining the tread wear, winter traction, noise, comfort, dry handling and steering performance of the previous generation.

The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II is covered by a 70,000-mile limited treadwear warranty. The new Pirelli tire is now available in 30 sizes. The full 50 size range will be available in over the next few months.

Pirelli says the tire’s technical highlights include:

• A new functionalized polymer and increased silica content that forms the new tread compound, which can also be found on the recently-released Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II.
• A 5% larger contact area and optimized shape improves overall wet performance, braking and handling over the previous generation.
• The Cinturato P7 All Season Plus II delivers high performance, low noise and excellent handling.
