I have just had 2 new tyres on the front , they do say p zero on the side wall but not in red , does the red indicate anything I should be aware of ?

thanks Bam
 
I am sure that whenever I put a set of p - zero's on they have always said it in red on the sidewall.

Out of interest how do you find the P-Zero's I stopped using them in favour of the bridgestone S02A's and can't decide if i like the bridgestones or the pirelli better.
 
yes my old ones said it in red , but these new ones say it but not in red . I find them good , £120 each for the fronts so cheap enough . they seem to last ok , done about 2500 miles this month :D

I'm just hoping I have not bought some cheap look alike tyres
 
I have had a full set fitted.. fronts have no rosso in red but rears do ? I asked the fitter .. he checked that they were new new stock rather than new old stock.. they are both NEW and didnt know ! if that make sence.. may be thats how they are gona be from now on ?

Are they N rated? Not really sure why I am asking but figure that the non n rated zero's might be a bit different?
 
yes they are N rated , every thing looks and reads the same but no red writing and to be honest I am a little bit gutted as a quite like the little red P Zero badging . but when I was phoning around for prices no one had them in stock and a dealer said he was waiting to get hold of the manufacturer for stock supply date , perhaps the upper comment is correct and this is how p zero will come now :?

Quote from the Tire Rack product description for P Zero Rosso

Tire Rack said:
While most Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires wear a red "P Zero" logo, selected sizes simply feature the "Rosso" logo as part of the embossed black sidewall styling along with the black letters.
