Product description & features

The Pirelli P Zero Rosso is a high-performance summer tyre that is the front and rear system in Pirelli’s P Zero Rosso System. This system is for cars that use directional front tyres and rear asymmetric tyres. The front directional tyre has grooves angled away from the centre to assist in moving water away from the tyre. The rear asymmetric tyre uses front to back grooves, a solid centre rib and linked blocks to the outer edge to assist braking and cornering.

The front axle Pirelli P Zero Rosso Tyres are referred to as Direzionale and Asimmetrico for the rear axle. As a result, cars that are supplied with the System retain the specified tyre layout for replacements. Tyres.co.uk supplies both Tyres Rosso Direzionale and Tyres Rosso Asimmetrico.

Highlights

  • Directional front tyre grooves
  • Asymmetric rear tyre pattern
  • Solid centre rib

Tyre review for Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/40R18 88Y
I have had two out of four with bulging sidewalls, and another one went down to the wear bar in less than 10,000 miles. I will not be buying these again! I know of others with this issue and while it could just be a stroke of bad luck.

Great handling even in the rain, although they aren't the greatest at dealing with standing water. Not the best on the motorway in wet conditions. Rain on A Roads? No Problem.

Great tyres that offer exceptional grip and brake response. They do seem to wear down fairly quickly, but that might just be my driving style!

Tyre review for Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/40R18 88Y
PIRELLI P ZERO ROSSO Excellent performance tyres that never compromise comfort and are pleasant to drive with at 100mph and above. Handles well in the wet. Better than my previous tyres (Bridgestone RE050). Almost no aquaplaning unless driving aggressively. Last longer than the P ZERO Nero tyres, while also providing slightly better grip. As a fan of Pirelli, I appreciate their quality over other competitors.

Tyre review for Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/40R18 88Y
They are priced a bit higher than normal, but the way the tyres improve the feel and drive of the car makes the price worth it. These tyres might wear down quicker than others, but I appreciate the peace of mind and would be okay changing them more often.

Good tyres, perform well in heavy rain on the motorway, almost monsoon-like conditions. Sadly, for such an expensive tyre, I would expect them to last longer than they have.

Tyre review for Pirelli P Zero Rosso 225/40R18 88Y
I have these tyres on my BMW 530d. They have lasted 40,000 miles on the front and 20,000 on the back. The front and back grip and handling is really good, they only have small losses of grip when cornering which makes them not perfect. Road noise is very low.
