Pirelli P zero nerosystem tires

[BReyes]

Pirelli P zero nero system tires I bought have a different tread on the rear vs. the front tires.

I was surprised when I saw the tread pattern was different on the front to the rear. Was told "front tread pattern is as is for water channeling and rear is as it is for better traction. All are are 140 tread wear A temp A traction. That is the way P zero nerosystem is".

Can you corroborate?

Thanks.

that makes sence becasue the front tires cut a channel int he water for the rear tires so they dont need it as much. Sounds like a good idea to me

Maybe ask the folks at tirerack.com?
I have the pzero all season tires, they are the same front and rear just different sizes.

I guess I could call them. What I have are directionals in front and asymetricos in the rear.

see if they have a pic of the treads on their web site

tell us how you like them when you get them broken in...

After 7 years of Pirelli use these, can say these have good grip at low speeds wet and dry. Hope to go a long way before I experience high speed loss of traction. And I think I will keep the car off the track.

Ah heck now you make me want to go check out that new stretch with flat out right. Kidding. Do want to get a set of track tires next.

Tire rack says the directionals in the front are good and system is directionals in front and asymetricos in back, or asymetricos all around.

Did you notice if the tire noise level seems low? I think they are supposed to have low noise...

there is a related thread on noise live now

Never had a noise problem with Veloces and these do not have a noise problem.

Only noises I like is the motor and the stereo, mostly the motor.
