Pirelli Cinturato P6

Designed and developed for use on medium and high-performance saloons, the Pirelli Cinturato P6 tyre scores particularly highly in the areas of safety, economy and environmental sustainability.

Safety

The Pirelli Cinturato P6 features a hi-tech symmetrical tread pattern with continuous circumferential channels for efficient expulsion of water from the contact patch.

The tyre has wider blocks on the outer shoulder to ensure high stability through bends and smaller blocks on the inner shoulders to maximise the evacuation of water. Wide ribs with curved grooves provide super-efficient traction and braking on both wet and dry surfaces.

A solid central rib provides continuous contact with the road and optimum stability even at high speeds.

Economy

The Pirelli Cinturato P6 tyre offers impressive value for money whilst retaining the high level of comfort that has always been a fundamental characteristic of Pirelli tyres.

The use of an innovative tread compound results in an impressive reduction in the loss of energy and consequent fuel savings.

Environmental Sustainability

The three Ecoimpact icons on the sidewall of the Pirelli Cinturato P6 highlight its environmental compatibility.

Energy Efficient: Low rolling resistance for reduced fuel consumption with consequent savings for the consumer and a reduction in CO2 emissions.

Clean Air: The use of new tread compounds which contain no high aromatic oils vastly reduces the dispersion of substances which are potentially hazardous for the environment through tyre wear.

High Mileage: the higher mileage achievable brings direct savings to the consumer. Making a tyre last longer also results in a reduction in the number of tyres being produced with numerous benefits for the environment.in The demand for less raw materials and water results in energy savings. These, combined with lower pollutant emissions and reduced impact of disposal prove once again that Pirelli are ahead of the game where environmental issues are concerned.

The Cinturato range

The Pirelli Cinturato range offers traditional performance and safety combined with the new environmental features of the "Green Performance" philosophy. Developed to offer road holding on wet and dry roads, driving comfort and a longer life, the Cinturato range stands out for its low environmental impact. The use of new eco-friendly materials and the lower rolling resistance help reduce the vehicle's CO2 emissions. The Cinturato ranges summer tyres comprise three different products. Developed for different types of use: from compact city cars to prestigious saloons.

Cinturato P4, Cinturato P6 and Cinturato P7 respond to the requirements of both urban use, and of long motorway journeys. They are available in rim diameters from 13" to 18" with speed ratings from T to Y.

Cinturato: A History

Invented by Pirelli in the 1950s, the Cinturato was called "Extraordinary" by Juan Manuel Fangio. The Argentinean ace, five times Formula 1 world champion between 1950 and 1957, was impressed by its absolute driving precision: unthinkable in those years for a traditional cross-ply tyre.

More rigid than cross-ply tyres, the Cinturato was the first tyre with a radial structure which wrapped around the carcass like a belt (Cintura in Italian). The result was a markedly sporting product, which was to make history. Later, the textile fibre of the first Cinturato was replaced by metal cord which gives even more rigidity to the structure: the very best for sports driving.

Over the years the construction philosophy of the Cinturato was applied to tyres for industrial vehicles and agricultural tractors. By the end of 1968 Pirelli was exporting, or directly manufacturing, the Cinturato in as many as 137 countries worldwide. In the meantime, Sandro Munari and his navigator Daniele Mannucci, first with the Fiat 124 Sport and later with the Fulvia HF 1600 ,both fitted with Pirelli Cinturato tyres, led the way on roads and dirt tracks all over the world.

As a result of continual technological advances, the story of the Cinturato continues today under the heading of "Green Performance". New eco-friendly materials and the elimination of highly aromatic oils from the compounds minimise the environmental impact, both at the production stage and over the life of the tyre, with no reduction in driving pleasure, cornering control or performance.

Pirelli Tyres

Further to the Pirelli Cinturato P6, Pirelli offers an exceptional car tyre product range. Meeting all customer requirements, these tyres combinine the Ultra High Performance Technology derived from Motorsport with the new ecological features of the "Green Performance" philosophy. Over one hundred years' experience of tyre technology has enabled Pirelli to combine in their products maximum levels of security, longevity, comfort and attention to the environment.

Each Pirelli tyre provides not only performance but also a "feel for the road" and a communication with the driver, allowing a better understanding of the vehicle's performance.
