So it’s time to start shopping for new all season tires. The Bridgestone Ecopia that the car came with need replacement after 3 years.
I am considering the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus.
Is this a good option?
What else you guys recommend?

Awesome tire!  Have bought 2 sets.

But I'd say more of a grand touring tire.  Is that what you want?

If you want something more performance biased, yet still nice riding, try the Pirelli P Zero All Season Plus.  Have those on our IS300.

I usually dont use all seasons, but if I were to put them on my Lexus I would put on General GMax AS05, Pirelli P Zero, and Michelin AS3+. Depends on how much you want to spend.

You've got to decide what is important to you, 'cause you can't have it all.

First, you are going to lose fuel economy no matter what.  Even replacing the OE tires with the same make and model means some loss in FE.  And if you chose a good wearing tire, it's going to be even worse.

That's because worn tires have lower rolling resistance than full treaded ones (all other things being equal),  And since there is a technology triangle involving treadwear, traction (especially wet traction), and rolling resistance, replacement tires are generally worse for FE, but better for wear and grip.

I am looking for a quiet tire that can handle rain well. For the first time in like 20 years I now have a job that is about 7 minutes from my house (used to commute on hwy for 100Km a day. My car will only see very limited hwy driving because we always take the wife car when we go on trips so my car will now just be for my enjoyment sometimes in weekends when I wanna go for a long drive on some twisted roads.

Are the Cinturato P7 All Season Plus quiet and good handling on wet?
Because my commute is so short now I really don't care about fuel economy from a tire.

We've had them on the GS-350 as summers for the last two years and they are a very good all around tire.  As Ron mentioned they are more of a GT tire and I find them ideal for our purposes.

Costco is giving $100 Costco cash card with most tires now

So I ordered the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus.
They will go on my car on March 20.
