Product description & features

The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 tyre is designed for changing conditions with performance labelled with an A rating for wet conditions as well as possessing 3PMSF certification. The Cinturato All Season SF3 uses a directional tread with longitudinal grooves that channel water through the tyre. The outer blocks assist with braking and steering on wet pavement. The Cinturato All Season SF3 uses 3D micro-slits that provide traction for braking and acceleration on snow, and maintain the integrity of the block due to the slits changing shape when the tyre wears.

The SF3 is the successor to the SF2 with improved tread technology designed to provide wet and snow performance for the life of the tyre. Some variations of the Cinturato All Season SF3 come with the ELECT designation for use on electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Seal Inside variations close punctures in the tread area due to the sealing layer inside the tyre. All variations of the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 can be found on Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Directional tread with water grooves
  • 3D micro-slits for snow grip
  • Seal Inside puncture sealing versions

Tyre review for Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 205/45R17 88W XL
They perform very well in the rain, but I have not gone fast enough to test whether they get aquaplaning. Because the rubber is softer, I don't expect the tread to last very long, but I am quite happy with them.

Tyre review for Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 205/45R17 88W XL
I'm really happy about how these tyres cope with the cold and wet weather. I got them as 'winter tyres " for my 'powerful rear-wheel-drive car' which during the previous winters was a bit of a hassle and made me very nervous to drive. After four months of using these tyres during winter, I can safely say that their grip is exceptional and I've even considered to keep them on all year. In a few weeks, I will change to my old regular tyres to compare and if these go better than the others I just might keep these tyres on for the whole year and not just winter season.

Great so far, they do well in the summer, and I assume they'll be great in the winter too.

Tyre review for Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 205/45R17 88W XL
I've put these tyres on my Honda H-RV because I choose an all season tyre for Scotland's unpredictable weather. They've been excellent in very heavy rain. So far I have only experienced light snow, and it was as if the snow was non - existent. My tyre size has the Seal Inside feature for added peace of mind.

They provide a great feel for the car through bends and greater overall grip. It may sound silly, but it's like the car can now perfectly follow my lead.

Tyre review for Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 205/45R17 88W XL
Excellent grip in both rainy and cold damp weather. It is something you really notice when you are driving. I went to Switzerland and Italy crossing through France during summer, and the tyres dealt with hot weather in all types of roads, from motorways, country roads, urban, forest and mountain roads, and even a rainy day in the Swiss Alps. I cannot really say much about their performance in snow because I live in the South East of England where there is not much snow, but for these tyres, online reviews are saying that these are some of the best all-season tyres in snow. After four months of driving and after a long journey across countries, the wear is very little noticeable. They are comfortable and the handling is dry and wet is just right for all season tyres. Road noise is low.

Although my rear-wheel drive isn't the most reliable in bad weather, I discovered these tyres provide better traction on icy roads.
