Pirelli P Zero Rosso Review

Pirelli P Zero Rosso is an Ultra High Performance Summer tire designed to fit minivans, passenger cars and sport utility vehicles , currently available in 21 tire sizes, with the lowest price starting from $231.83.

Ultra high performance summer tires are designed for agile handling on dry and wet roads with good ride quality and decent tread life. These low profile tires are not intended to be driven in snow or on ice. Ultra high performance summer tires provide responsive handling and crisp steering response in both wet and dry conditions.

Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires were developed to combine high performance, high speed and a high degree of comfort. Specific design techniques, raw materials and manufacturing methods have been incorporated to produce Pirelli's most comfortable Max Performance tires. Like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. The P Zero Rosso system includes both asymmetric and directional tread designs, each tuned to satisfy the unique performance needs of different types of vehicles and uses. The P Zero Rosso Asimmetrico is the most widely used because it's designed for both front and rear axle positions of front engine front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive cars (and on all cars driven on the track). The P Zero Rosso Direzionale is designed to offer enhanced hydroplaning resistance and is primarily for use on the lighter load carrying front axle positions of mid-engine and rear-engine rear-wheel drive cars (which are then combined with the P Zero Rosso Asimmetrico tires on the rear axle positions). Both of the P Zero Rosso tread patterns are elegant. The Asimmetrico tread pattern retains the "Zero concept" of earlier P Zero tires by combining a semi-slick center rib that enhances driving precision while accelerating and braking with robust outer shoulder and intermediate tread blocks that are connected by circumferential "multi-ring" ribs to enhance dry grip. The independent blocks of the inner intermediate rib and inside shoulder are separated by wide grooves to help eject water to reduce hydroplaning and enhance wet grip. Considerable use has been made of curved grooves, which complement the circumferential grooves to reduce noise. P Zero Rosso tires use a silica-enhanced tread compound to provide better grip in low temperatures in the wet and lower rolling resistance in the dry. The tread is supported by PenTec cord (a material developed by Allied Signal for space exploration) which is used to reinforce lightweight steel belts and give more high-speed stability while reducing tire weight and temporary flat spotting when parked overnight.
