Do a search mate, your bound to dig something up.

I ordered my PFF7's on Friday from Revolution, complete with P Zero Corsa Assimetricos fitted. Damn they are an expensive tyre, but going by what Mike Wood has stated, they're best for an Impreza on UK roads.

I had PZero's on my classic and they were terrible, very soft and spongy! Would never use them again. Just my opinion though!

Mate had them. They were great in the dry, but be careful where there's standing water. He's now running Yoko Paradas and prefers these in both dry and wet weather.

Well, my mate loves them. That sounds like a fair price for 18's.

Hi, been runnning about on P Zero Neros 225/35/18 on Work Emotion Kai rims for a fortnight and they are s**t hot. The grip in both dry and wet conditions is faultless, far far better than Bridgestone R 50's. They are expensive i paid £549 for 4 fitted, but you get what you pay for.

Ecco above. I have just removed the rossos from my car and they were the best tyre I have had. I may even go as far as saying they are better than eagle F1's. Got toyo T1-r on at mo as couldn't stretch to the price of rossos again but will be the next time.

There are P zero nero's, P zero corsa's, P zero rosso's, P zero nero M&S (!), P zero asimmetrico's, P zero direzionale's, P zero rosso asimmetrico's, P zero rosso direzionale's, Pzero corsa asimmetrico's, P zero corsa direzionale and quite possibly others too.

Your response seems a little sweeping......

I had 18” PZero Nero on an 04WRX and they were not bad at all. Maybe a little hard on the compound, but generally felt safe in most circumstances.

Default First impressions

First impressions are that grip seems good and (strangely) steering seems more direct. The new Pzero's are on the back with exisiting Toyo Proxes T1Rs front.

Default Pirelli P Zero Assymetrico's

To be Frank these are the worst tyres i fitted to my Classic, they don't grip that well in the dry and in the wet they are useless, I got so concerned i even called in the Local Pirelli Technician and he tried to blame my car, the only possible upside is that i have got over 20K miles from them so far.

Ive had a couple of sets of thease as well as some bridgestones the pzeros have more grip in the dry but its still not that great, i find them rubbish in the wet tho not turn in at all loads of under steer. They do wear well un like the bridgestones which start wearing after very few miles.
