Default Looks awesome, good luck. Are those Pzero Rosso's? (m)

If those are Pzero Rosso's, what is the configuration? Are they both asymetrico or is there a combination of asymetrico and symetrico for the front and rears?

I'm intersted in these for my S4 but am confused about the fitment with 4 wheel drive systems like quattro.

Thanks

Default They look like Rossos. Some info from TireRack:

<i>"The PZero Rosso Direzionale is designed to offer enhanced hydroplaning resistance and is primarily for use on the lighter load carrying front axle positions of mid-engined and rear-engined rear-wheel-drive cars (which are combined with The PZero Rosso Asimmetrico tires on the rear axle positions)."</i>

That most certainly doesn't sound like it's appropriate for our cars. I would imagine the RS4s have Asimmetricos all around.
