        Hi,

        as far as I do remember the German mag "Sport Auto" has tested this tire a few months ago on an Audi RS4 w/ sports package.
        But there is the possibility that I am messing it up with the Rossos, not sure.

        Anyway, they came to the conclusion that the tested tires had an enormous grip on the Nordschleife due to the soft rubber mixture which doesn´t really make this tire suitable for everyday use :-).

        Cya

        Christoph

        Yiasou Dimitri! I wasn't aware that Pirelli had a new tire out but I just checked out the site and they seem like competition. I'm using Yokohamas right now though.

        I think they're not as high performance as the Rossos, but they're kind of a entry tire for the Pzero range...

        It's a so called UPH-tire (Ultra High Performance). It's supposed to replace the Pirelli P 7000, and it's all-around capabilities are said to be great! (Very precise turn-in & stable during hard breaking) Pirelli claim to have improved it's qualities on cold pavement significant.
