For road use I prefer the Dunlops. I haven't tried the PZero Rosso on the RS6 but had them on the S6
I found the Pirelli "slippery" on the track, and seriously lacking feedback compared with the Bridgestone S03 I had before that on the S6.
The road feedback from the Dunlop is not bad at all.
On the track, my brakes gave up before I could do serious damages to the Dunlops, but still they had more grip than what I remember from the S6 with the Pirellis, taking in consideration the DRC, wider wheels etc... for the RS6

Initially, I was not "thrilled" with the Dunlop's.
...and was considering the PZero Nero's but after reading these posts, it sounds like both have their pro's and con's. As the weather gets warmer, the Dunlops seem to be performing better, but still howl under hard cornering (but I mean hard), 3,500 miles since new (the wheels & tires that is) I'm in no rush to change them, but I'd like to hear everyones feelings on this.

I am running Dunlops as well and like them. We have 3,333 miles on them and so far they are doing fine. I ran Dunlops on my last Audi and got fairly good mileage from them and even wear. I find this set more quiet than the last set which were 16 inch. These are 18".

There are reports of quarter sized chunks breaking of the Dunlops at the track
And I agree with avdh in that the Pirellis get really slippery when overheated, scary slippery. I guess the key there is not to overheat them! Smooth smooth smooth... Smoothness tends to solve a lot of problems at the track.
