MAGAZINE	ISSUE	TESTED PATTERN	SIZE	TEST VEHICLE	FINAL RESULT
	05/10	Scorpion ATR	255/55 R 18	BMW X5	TEST WINNER RECOMMENDABLE out of 3
...The Pirelli connects road-safety with terrain-grip and is superior winning the test. Amazing all terrain tyre, which demands nearly no restrictions on road-conditions.
	04/10	P Zero	235/35R19 Y	Ford Focus RS	VERY RECOMMENDABLE 4th place out of 11
The Pirelli PZero is one of the most expensive tyre in field but once more shows very good performance. Direct and with a sporty character the Italian overcomes the wet tests, weaknesses in wet braking, among the best on dry ground with a very accurate steering response and a high level of grip, very neutral in the border area, smoothly agreeable load change reactions.”
	03/10	P Zero	F 235/35R19 Y R 255/30R19 Y	Mercedes C63 AMG	EXEMPLARY
With his perfect balanced steering and handling performance the P ZERO is the champion of the hearts in this test. Good on Aquaplaning, short braking distance. Without any weakness in one of our test-categories he is superior reaching the podium.

	03/10	P Zero	235/40R18 Y	VW Scirocco	TEST WINNER
Very balanced on highest level – this is how the Pirelli P ZERO is again becoming winner of the test.

	02/10	Cinturato P7	205/55R16 V	Mercedes C-Class	VERY RECOMMENDABLE
The Pirelli Cinturato P7 demonstrates that tyres optimized for rolling resistance can also come up with a short wet braking distance and with a sporty driving behaviour.

	02/10	Cinturato P7	205/55R16 V	VW Golf	GOOD +
The Italians launched with the name CINTURATO is the green Version of the triple Gute Fahrt test winner P7. The balance between good rolling resistance and best driving characteristics are coherent. This is why the P7 competes both handling tests with the best note, drives harmonic on a good grip level as well as with a good steering-response like the Conti. But he is also good in wet-braking and in terms of noise
	02/10	Cinturato P7	225/45R17 W/Y	Audi A3	VERY RECOMMENDABLE
Very balanced summer tyre; good on wet and dry surfaces; low fuel consumption; tyre with the lowest noise

	03/10	Cinturato P7	245/45R17 W/Y	Mercedes E-Class	VERY RECOMMENDABLE
Very sporty tyre with a high steering response, good driving behaviour and low rolling-resistance.

	02/10	Cinturato P6	185/65R15 H	Mercedes A-Class	VERY RECOMMENDABLE
Very balanced summer tyre with very high mark on wet surfaces; low treadwear.

	03/10	Cinturato P6	185/60R15 H	VW Polo	RECOMMENDABLE
Balanced and safe behaviour with high steering precision on wet and dry ground. Very high safety margins when aquaplaning.

	03/10	Chrono	235/65R16 C	Mercedes Sprinter	Good
Excellent braking results on wet and dry ground, high cornering capability, good behaviour when aquaplaning.

Test results 2009

MAGAZINE	ISSUE	TESTED PATTERN	SIZE	TEST VEHICLE	FINAL RESULT
	02/09	Cinturato P6	195/60R15 H	Opel Corsa	Very Recommendable
In all criteria’s the Pirelli has one of the leading positions. His performance is unobtrusive. But maybe this is exactly the skill of the tyre-manufacturer for achieving good results.

	03/09	P Zero	Front 235/35ZR19(Y) Rear 295/30ZR19(Y)	Porsche Cayman S	Very Recommendable
High and balanced performance with sporty and dynamic driving characteristics; comfortable steering-precision. He is convincing through shortest braking distances on dry and wet ground.

	03/09	P Zero	225/45R17 W/Y	Golf GTI Audi A3	TEST WINNER Very Good
The Italians, which are usually blessed with success, are showing again that they can do it. No other tyre offers such precised and balanced handling-characteristics, no other is braking perfect on wet an dry like the P Zero is doing. The aquaplaning security is good, just on comfort and noise it is just mark 3. Conclusion: Very good and for sure the Gute Fahrt recommendation.

	03/09	P Zero	Front 225/40R18 Y Rear 255/35R18 Y	BMW 135i Coupè	TEST WINNER Very Recommendable
With only one point the Pirelli missed the maximum score on dry ground. Precise, neutral and reliable the P ZERO is managing the handling track. Only in the criteria’s aquaplaning and wet-braking the real sportsman is losing points.
	03/09	P Zero	235/35R19 Y	Audi A4	TEST WINNER
Clear victory for the Italian. He attests his qualities on wet and dry; in both criteria he builds the top. He is only ailing a bit on lateral-aquaplaning
