Product description & features

The Cinturato C3 from Pirelli is a summer touring tyre that focuses on its braking performance in the rain and on worn tyre surfaces, which is why it holds an EU label of A in wet grip across the entire range. The latest version of the tyre is designed to preserve its long-lasting wet grip. The tread features circular grooves that expel water from the tread surface and dry braking and dry cornering blocks.

The Pirelli Cinturato C3 also replaces the Cinturato P7 C2 in Pirelli's summer touring selection. Some variants of the tyre features Pirelli's Seal Inside, an internal sealant which enables the tyre to self-heal punctures of up to 4mm and allows the tyre to remain inflated. Tyres.co.uk sells the Pirelli Cinturato C3 including the Seal Inside variants.

Highlights

  • Summer touring tyre
  • Circular grooves clear water
  • Seal Inside puncture protection available
