The HACK said:
Well, it looks like these tires aren't availabe anyway from Pirelli, for the time being...Or they're hard to access.
Perhaps I'll try the PZero Nero out first...It's their hi-po (Z or W rated) NEW tire to replace the P7000 SS. Hopefully my experience with the NERO will be better than the P7000 SS though.
Hack, Just some thoughts, straight tranlation - Corsa = racing. Not sure what Pirelli means with Nero as translation = black. I know they had a rosso = red but what that equates to in terms of performance is open....
From what I've been able to gather the PZero Corsa is strictly RACING/RALLY....
I got this from the Italian site
PZero System
1987
With the birth of Ferrari F40 in 1987 PZero took the decisive step which from a 'semi-rally position' placed it at the top of tyres for a real traffic use directly. The same route of its ancestor P7, even if in that case the landing place after a rally Lancia was the Porsche 911.
1994
PZero System, born in 1994 to solve the problem of aquaplaning of dream supercars, begins its career on the Ferrari F355, Maranello's new phenomenon, and soon it won all the Ferrari models over. Then it did the same with Porsche and Jaguar.
With PZero System a totally new product is worked out.
It is lighter and more hard-wearing, because the mathematical models used in the planning stage enable the engineers to get rid of what ten years of technology have found out as redundant.
It is more comfortable and quiet, because whoever purchases a supercar may expect even silence and comfort from tyres with ten-centimetres sidewalls.
PZero Rosso
In 2000 Pirelli launched the new PZero Rosso (red) on worldwide markets. The name PZero has been chosen once again, because PZero represents the turning point in the UHP tyres technology.
Zero stands for "zero limiti" (no limits) and Rosso stands for the red colour which symbolizes the passion for driving. This is the same feeling that accompanied PZero's birth and keeps on animating the new generation of ultra-low profile high performance tyres.
PZero Rosso completes a new range of UHP technologically advanced tyres for drivers and cars. It has peak performance levels. Its promptness, progression, accuracy for trajectory and roadholding ability are the qualities on which history of Pirelli low profile tyres is based, starting from P7 created for Lancia Stratos.
Performaces and safety, above all on the wet road, thanks to the years of studies on profiles, compound and tread design are the solution to the aquaplaning problem.
Until reaching the exclusive concept of Pirelli System: two different tread designs for front and rear axles, for an exceptional behaviour both on dry and wet roads.
PZero Nero
Wide lower profile and larger rim diameter to increase the degree of traction during hard driving
Precision and quicker response in cornering
Its wide footprint greatly reduces breaking distance
Exclusive design for tread and sidewalls
