Anybody else getting awful tire life out of the standard PZero Rossos??
My S5 (manual V8) only has 13k on it and the front tires are roasted. Backs are decent, can I rotate them, or are they dedicated to a specific corner of the vehicle? Love the car, hate the skins...

I think everyone gets awful life out of Pirelli Rosso P-Zero tires. Next time Michelin for me!

I chucked my P Zero's at 10k miles...never again. If I ever get another Audi with P Zero's I will requst a swap out!

Crummy tires with poor performance and tread life...switched to Michelin Pilot sport A/S plus at 18k and could not be happier. What I may have given up in grip/dry performance, I more than gained with respect to wet performance, noise reduction and durability.

Yes, you are suppose to rotate them. The recommended interval for AWD vehicles are ~5,000 miles between rotation. If you have never had them rotated since you purchased the car, I would say that 13K miles are pretty remarkable for having never rotated them other than at 5K (Part of the first complimentary service by Audi).

Yup, switched mine immediately to Michelin PS2s.

They came on the new car and I got about 16,000 miles out of mine. I didn't bother rotating them as I knew that the tread life was bad and to me wasn't worth rotating. I got as many miles out of them as I could then switched to Michellin A/S.
