π‘ Is the Pirelli Winter Cinturato 2 225/45R17 a Good Tire?
The Pirelli Winter Cinturato 2 225/45R17 is a winter tire designed for mid-size sedans and compact crossovers. It delivers solid snow and ice traction with reliable wet weather performance thanks to its directional tread pattern and winter compound technology. Ride comfort is good with moderate road noise, though tread life is shorter than all-season alternatives due to the softer winter rubber compound. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it provides dedicated winter safety but requires seasonal tire changes and storage, making it less convenient than all-season options. Currently priced from $182.7, it is available through major online tire retailers.
