I’m considering replacing my Pirelli P7 Cinturato RFT 225/45 R18s with the same size Pirelli Premier A/Ss. I no that it’s not the sportiest setup, but I do lots of interstate driving and would welcome a longer lasting tire. Has anyone had any experience with these tires?

I recommend that you contact a Tirerack advisor and explain what you have versus what you want from your tires. They are pretty helpful that way.

Where are you? Do you NEED an all season?
I called Tirerack about replacement options. Their advice was that the Pirelli RFTs were the best OEM option and that the Michelin Premier A/S was the best non-RFT replacement for the OEMs.
I’m with you, but we do get several good snows each year and a number of freezing rain/sleet events each winter season. I live in the farthest northern part of Virginia, farther north than Washington, DC...about the same latitude as Cincinnati, OH.

After a couple Christmas shopping incidents with the summers on my Miata ages ago, I took the club and forum advice and went for a full winter setup to swap in fall and spring. That is the way to go for me and since I have an appointment to swap my second Corsa tomorrow morning, I plan to stick with it. I just wish I could have swapped a more durable tire than the Nordschleife record tires 
But then I would want all 4 as well. My Quad may sit all winter next year.

Got ya, then yup! All Seasons are needed!
You have two good performance all season options
1) Conti Extreme Contact DWS
2) Michelin A/S as already noted
The nice thing is you can't go wrong with either.

I just had the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06s installed on my Q4. So far (100 miles) so good. I'm on a lease car so I didn't wait for the Pirelli's to be done and I'll swap them back on at turn-in. I only need 30k out of the conti's and I'm sure that will happen.
Our experience with with the Michelin A/S 3+ and the DWS's. Not sure which I really like better as both are great 3+ season tires. The Michelin Premier A/S has better winter properties but is not as sporty. I disagree with the TireRack advice to use those but they are probably a very close match the the crappy Pirelli's
