I have the Pzero Rosso now on my car, 205-50/16, and when I compare with the previous "regular" Pzero, I can tell you this: with the Rosso, the feeling in your steer is (a little bit) less sharp, but you have a bit more grip, so your speed in a corner can be faster! Better comfort and less noise too. They have a rimprotector and flashy red letters on the sidewalls...
I'm happy with my choice!

Jo, thanks for the review - very interesting, especially the rim protector part!

What's the wet grip like? I'm running Pzero 205/40/17 and am really quite disappointed with the level of wet grip. They don't seem as good as the OEMs in the wet, but do let go more progressively (eg, I'm starting to master lift off oversteer in the wet )

Are the Pzero Rossos any better in your opinion?

 

Yesterday, I've tried them in the wet: much better than the regular Pzero, they have lots of grip. Straight ahead-feeling on the motorway is also much better...

I'm on my second set of 205/50/16 P Zero's and I cannot fault them. They have been worked hard in all conditions and perform without fault, dry or wet, sprint or cruise. And at £100 a piece balanced, fitted and including VAT, I cannot argue. Can anyone else???

Yep Pirelli's are CRAP in the wet

 

mrk

If Pirelli's are crap in the wet (I run them on 17's & find them xlent but never run anything else to compare) what do you think is better??
