Where it gives ground. Testers place the Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 mid-pack for dry braking, snow traction and cabin noise. That is not a fault so much as a design trade-off: compound and tread patterns that chase one discipline almost always concede something in another, and the tables below show exactly which tests drove that result.
