Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 (2026)

SF3 leads on safety and wet grip; SF2 wins on quiet refinement and running costs.

Pirelli's Cinturato All Season family has grown into a two-tier range: the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the current flagship all-season for passenger cars, while the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 — its direct predecessor, still actively sold — continues to serve drivers, particularly those with SUVs, who want a quieter, more economical all-season at a friendlier price point. They share the Cinturato name and the same 15"–20" wheel range, but the two generations have meaningfully different characters, and understanding that gap will point you firmly towards one or the other.

Verdict

If safety in wet and winter conditions is your primary concern, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 is the clear choice — it is the better tyre in every active safety discipline, and its test results across multiple independent programmes confirm that consistently. Drivers who spend time on motorways in mixed autumn and winter conditions, or who encounter genuine ice and snow, will find the step up from the SF2 tangible. If you drive primarily in mild climates, value a quiet cabin above peak wet grip, and want better everyday economy, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 remains a solid, well-proven option — particularly for SUV owners and high-mileage commuters who spend most of their time on dry or lightly damp roads. The SF2 is the quieter, more economical tyre; the SF3 is the safer, more capable one.
