The Pirelli P ZERO ROSSO Asimmetrico receives mixed reviews from users, praised initially for its exceptional dry grip, high-speed stability, and sharp handling response. However, common criticisms focus on rapid tread wear, a significant drop in wet performance as the tread wears down, high road noise toward the end of their life, and a premium price point that leaves some drivers feeling they underperform compared to competitors.

What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Pirelli P ZERO ROSSO Asimmetrico receives mixed reviews from users, praised initially for its exceptional dry grip, high-speed stability, and sharp handling response. However, common criticisms focus on rapid tread wear, a significant drop in wet performance as the tread wears down, high road noise toward the end of their life, and a premium price point that leaves some drivers feeling they underperform compared to competitors.

Pros

  • Exceptional dry grip, traction, and cornering performance
  • High-speed stability and confident handling at high limits
  • Predictable and responsive steering feel
  • Good initial wet weather traction

Cons

  • Rapid and inconsistent tread wear, especially with spirited driving
  • Noticeable degradation in wet grip once tread wears below 4-5mm
  • High road noise levels, particularly as the tires age
  • Expensive relative to longevity and competitive alternatives

Worth knowing

  • Owners of front-wheel-drive performance hatchbacks like the Seat Leon FR reported more severe issues with wheelspin, wet traction, and rapid front tire wear.
  • Drivers of sports cars like the Porsche Boxster and high-powered sedans appreciated the dry cornering stability and predictable breakaway behavior, despite shorter tread life.
