kkcy993c4, you must be talking about the PZero Rosso's, and not the Assimetrico's. It's been talked about in great lengths concerning tire manufacturers giving up tire performance for extended wear ratings.

Matt, Tire Rack posted Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetrico on their tire test. I am not sure they meant Rosso, Asimmetrico, or both. Please check out the following link:

Well, it is the P-Zero Rosso Asimmetrico which is being compared to the new S-03 Pole Position. The tire Matt is referring to as the Asimmetrico is the older P-Zero Asimmetrico without the Rosso designation. That tire is far superior to the Rosso ans any Bridgestone including the S-03 at least in the dry performance area.
