PirelliCinturato All Road Tire(Return to Product Page)

I put over 2500 miles on these tires (40 mm size), over 27 days, on all terrain types from medium (2-3 inch rocks) gravel to soft sand to smooth tarmac, all while carrying two fully loaded 22 L panniers and an 18 L rack top bag, along with a tent on the front. Overall, I would say it was an additional 35-40 lbs over the 30 lb bike weight with a 180 lb human riding.

I rarely use my brakes and I felt like these tires handled all the terrain I threw at them with great grip and control. I did hit a sharp rock at one point and that penetrated the rear tire (right in the middle of the smooth center strip). The sealant (Orange Seal) did it's job and, though I could feel the loss of air, I'm sure I could have continued for many miles in search of a pump. I carry a pump so I immediately stopped and topped up, adding about 15 psi.

Overall, I am very happy with the performance of the Pirelli Cinturato All Road 40 mm tires.

Terrain types ridden: medium-sized gravel (2-3 inch rocks), hard dirt, soft sand, mud, grass, potted tarmac, smooth tarmac, wet tarmac.
