Hi Claudius
I was told that the RED P-Zeros shold be more comfortable and are not as soft as the yellows.
But they are not the softest street tyre from Pirelli. The Pirelli CORSA will be available soon in many dimensions.
As you read also german, I guess, you saw perhaps the article in SPORT AUTO how they performed on an AUDI RS4...amazing...but they do not last very long. They are more like the ADVAN .
Did you tried the ADVAN 032R already on an EVO?
I am really looking for a good compromise. Do you think a P-Zero can also do a trac-day without suffering so much.
I just killed S-01 totally doing some laps in Hockenheim.

Yes, the PZero rosso (rosso |EQU| red) are not as soft and more comfortable. This is exactly why I do not recommend them (they also have less grip, obviously).
The Pirelli PZero Corsa is indeed softer, but it is a semislick, not a street tyre. That is why I said the PZero yellow is the softest street tyre compound.
MAXI drives on Yokohama A032Rs. I know them, like them. They have not much in common with a PZero or other street tyre, much more grip and last 5,000 kms in medium compound (hardest available) with hard street use.
S01s are some of the worst tyres I've seen on an Evo. It's like driving with the 15 inchers and single piston brake of the RS version wheel and brake wise!
If a tyre survives a track day depends on how you drive. I guess if the track is not too twisty, they will not overheat and melt. It is the best compromise for the road.

they were called yellow before the rosso came out, but maybe as there was no need for differentiation not everybody called them yellow...
