Default Pirelli PZero Rossos

Now that I've ordered them, anyone have any commented on the PZero Rossos? The price was right.

They are supposed to be good, anyone have any info or especially personal experience?

How about in wet? Not that I care all that much.

I do know they'll be kept safely under wraps until ski season is over.

Ordered some today as well, along with Ronal wheels. Good price, good company. I've heard from others as well that they are good tires, and handle alright in wet conditions. Talk to the guys from Ronal. He has them on his A4 and loves them. Hopes this helps...

Default I talked to Ronal

Although Ronal will put whatever you want on your rims, really their pricing is disadvantageous for other brands except Pirelli. Even with a little prodding, I got no action on SP9000's.

So that's how I ended up with the Pirelli's. I looked into them after the fact and they do indeed look good. My only concerns are I have little real info on wet performance and true tread life. I have no reason to expect either of these are poor on the Rosso's, but I just didn't have the chance to do all the research I wanted.

I'm sure they will smoke my Conti all-seasons (except in the cold/snow) in any case.

Gary tried to get me to buy the rosso's. I went with the S-02 PP's. I hear that the rosso's have some road noise even more so than the S-02. Dunlop SP9000 are very good wet/dry and quiet to, also last longer.
Rosso's will handle the dry far beyond the limit I want to push my car. They are to provide decent wet grip to. I may switch to the SP9000 next time to give them a try.
