well at just about 5300 my corsaIII was done. so cycle gear hooked up with an angel installed w/road hazard for 185otd.

just about any new tire will feel better than an old one no doubt.

being in florida i had the typical florida flat center.

so it turns a lot easier now profile of new vs flat.

traction for the way i ride feels the same, i never ever have come even close to maxing out the tires available traction.

the one thing i really like that i really didnt like with the corsa is that the tire itself doesn't feel squishy for a lack of better terms. i had the run the pressur eup high 42psi to get the corsa to stiffin up to the point that i didnt feel like i was gonna roll it off the rim and didnt feel the rim moving the sidewalls back and forth.

to say the least i am very happy with it and think it'll serve me very well

I was leaning toward the Angels but now I am a Michelin Man. Let us know how they wear.

sure thing so far wet or dry they are good this weekend gonna take a trip to the next town over with a passenger so that will let me know a lot. when i was dropping it off there was a guy with a kz6? i think or something like that that had over 1k on his and it still looked new said same wet or dry felt good.

so far i only have the rear and it feels reall well planted doesn't follow grooves or anything handles the broken rough pavement with no complaints

My Corsa III rear is showing steel belts down the middle at 3,500. I have the same problem as Boogi, 95% of my miles are straight ahead and thus the rest of the tire has significantly more rubber left on it. I picked up another Corsa III for $150 since my front still has a bit of life left. I need to find a tire that has the same performance as the Corsa but with a lot more rubber in the middle. A few unexpected trail braking incidents have made me a firm believer in how good these tires are. Or maybe I should just move to the mountains so I can use all of my tires.

I got 5900 miles out of my rear corsa. Still working on my front. I like what I had so I went back to it. (corsa 3.) Dealer wanted $466 installed cause it had a nail. Which they stuck in there. So I found 1 on line for $176. And had a buddy throw it on for $40. }
