That's fine when the pro's are testing, but if you're not dialed into your car, the limits on the pzeros feel MUCH lower.


The PZeros had massive grip (relative to something like an RE050A) but don't feel as good as the PSS at the limit. They also ride harsher, wear faster, and are louder.

PSS is really a great example of new tire technology and what's to come. I'm sure Pirelli will be refreshing their lineup with new goodies soon.
