Italians have always identified the color red with passion. And while red sports cars are probably the most identifiable example when it comes to driving passion, there is also Pirelli's P Zero Rosso (Rosso, ro' so, Italian for red). P Zero Rosso Max Performance Summer tires were developed to combine high performance, high speed and a high degree of comfort.
Specific design techniques, raw materials and manufacturing methods have been incorporated to produce Pirelli's most comfortable Max Performance tires. Pirelli's warranty does not cover tires that develop compound cracking due to use in ambient temperatures below 45° Fahrenheit (7° Celsius), so the P Zero Rosso, like all summer tires, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The P Zero Rosso system includes both asymmetric and directional tread designs, each tuned to satisfy the unique performance needs of different types of vehicles and uses. The P Zero Rosso Asimmetrico is the most widely used because it's designed for both front and rear axle positions of front engine front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive cars (and on all cars driven on the track). The P Zero Rosso Direzionale is designed to offer enhanced hydroplaning resistance and is primarily for use on the lighter load carrying front axle positions of mid-engine and rear-engine rear-wheel drive cars (which are then combined with the P Zero Rosso Asimmetrico tires on the rear axle positions).
Both of the P Zero Rosso tread patterns are elegant. The Asimmetrico tread pattern retains the "Zero concept" of earlier P Zero tires by combining a semi-slick center rib that enhances driving precision while accelerating and braking with robust outer shoulder and intermediate tread blocks that are connected by circumferential "multi-ring" ribs to enhance dry grip. The independent blocks of the inner intermediate rib and inside shoulder are separated by wide grooves to help eject water to reduce hydroplaning and enhance wet grip. Considerable use has been made of curved grooves, which complement the circumferential grooves to reduce noise.
P Zero Rosso tires use a silica-enhanced tread compound to provide better grip in low temperatures in the wet and lower rolling resistance in the dry. The tread is supported by PenTec cord (a material developed by Allied Signal for space exploration) which is used to reinforce lightweight steel belts and give more high-speed stability while reducing tire weight and temporary flat spotting when parked overnight.
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.
Los italianos usualmente identifican el color rojo con la pasión y mientras que autos rojos son un buen ejemplo para identificar la pasión al manejar, ahora Pirelli presenta P Zero Rosso (rosso, rojo en italiano). Un neumático desarrollado para ofrecer alto rendimiento, alta velocidad y un alto nivel de confort.
Técnicas nuevas en diseño de neumáticos, materias primas y métodos de fabricación han sido combinados para producir los neumáticos más confortables del grupo de Máximo Rendimiento. La garantía de Pirelli no cubre neumáticos que han desarrollado grietas debido a su uso en temperaturas ambientales por debajo de 45º Fahrenheit (7º Celsius) y como todo neumático de verano, el P Zero Rosso, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve. El nuevo P Zero Rosso incluye los diseños asimétrico y direccional en la banda de rodamiento. El diseño asimétrico es utilizado en autos con el motor al frente y tracción delantera o trasera y pueden ser utilizados en ejes delanteros o traseros. El direccional es diseñado para aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y es utilizado en los ejes delanteros de autos con el motor en el medio o atrás (son combinados con los asimétricos en los ejes traseros)
Los diseños de la huella de la banda de rodamiento son nuevos y elegantes. La huella asimétrica conserva el concepto "Zero" de versiones previas de neumáticos P Zero, al combinar un segmento central casi liso (permite un comportamiento más preciso al acelerar y frenar) con un hombro exterior fuerte, bloques intermedios conectados por cordones lisos circunferenciales (aumentan el agarre en suelo seco), bloques independientes en el segmento intermedio interno y hombros separados por ranuras anchas que ayudan a sacar el agua. Ranuras curvadas complementan las ranuras anchas, para ayudar a resistir el deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y disminuir el ruido.
El P Zero Rosso utiliza silicona mejorada en la banda de rodamiento, para proveer mejor agarre en temperaturas bajas sobre superficies mojadas y menor resistencia al rodar sobre secas. Internamente utiliza un cordón de Pen Tec (material creado por Allied Signal para exploración espacial) para reforzar las correas livianas de acero y dar más estabilidad a velocidades elevadas, a la vez, de reducir el peso del neumático y evitar el "punto plano" cuando se estaciona por largo período de tiempo.
La mayoría de las Pirelli P Zero Rosso tienen el logo "P Zero" rojo en el flanco, pero algunos tamaños solo tienen el logo "Rosso" grabado en negro.

...I'm already impressed by their performance in wet conditionsrelative to their predecessor...
The Dueler LX tires seem to perform much better than the Dueler R/Ts I had on the Jeep previously. I'm already impressed by their performance in wet conditions relative to their predecessor. I haven't been driving on them too long so will have to see if they continue to perform well throughout their life.

...Have never broken loose in the rain or anything, traction has always been good...
These are great tires that get great traction for on-road purposes. The best thing about them is how they ride. Perfectly smooth,quiet, and balance very easily… they are really impressive. Have never broken loose in the rain or anything, traction has always been good. They now have 42k miles on them and down to 4/32nds tread depth. In my experience they will not last the 70k like Bridgestone sets but they will ride great and be very safe all the way down to worn tread. Even at their current depth I have no traction or safety issues, but will need to replace before too long.
Customers report confident snow performance with most scores between 7-10, highlighting reliable grip in winter conditions. While ice traction shows some variability, the Dueler LX delivers solid deep snow capability, aligning well with its all-season design for highway driving.

...Since there appears to be no actual winter traction performance content to analyze, I cannot provide any bolded text. Customers have not shared specific experiences about winter performance in the provided text...
Got these to replace original Hankook Dynapro HT, which were decent tires that I was happy with, but were wearing fast. These Bridgestone Duelers are much better in every aspect of driving. Dont know about winter yet, but I expect to be pretty good. Quiet, smooth and responsive steering. To early to tell about tread wear yet, but I am very pleased.

...more comfortable and have about the same noise level and handling is competitive. For me as a easily going driver handling is not my main priority, comfort is...
Nice tires on my truck! They look great and drive great as well. I just took off TerrainContact HT that I drove on them for 200 miles. Bridgestone seems like more comfortable and have about the same noise level and handling is competitive. For me as a easily going driver handling is not my main priority, comfort is. I still think the previous Bridgestone Alenza HL was the most comfortable, but maybe because new tires are bigger and heavier so ride quality will decrease. Overall I like the tires and I will leave Duelers LX on and will report later when I get more miles on them.

...They ride great, are very smooth, and are very safe through their entire lifespan thanks to the siping...
This is a great tire. I have already written one review but wanted to follow up as they are fixing to be replaced. I have 50k miles almost exactly on my set of tires. They have 4/32nds of tread. They ride great, are very smooth, and are very safe through their entire lifespan thanks to the siping. Didn't quite get the 70k they are rated for, but I'm guessing it's because these tires are under a 5500 pound pickup versus an SUV that would put a little less weight on them. Would definitely buy again especially for a high-end vehicle. Bridgestone seems to make a great product.
...They are quiet, ride very nice, and handling is great...
I love these tires. We use this truck to tow our 36' 5th wheel. They are quiet, ride very nice, and handling is great. Highly recommended.
