Hey all,

I know there are tons of tire threads here, but just wanted a quick opinion about which tire may be the better get after last seasons riding experiences! I didn't know if anyone spent a whole season on the Pilot CT's vs, the Corsa III's, and who prefers which, pro's / con's etc.

Thanks again -

My 2 cents.

Pilot power 2ct on the front and regular Pilot power on rear. The edges (stickier part)of 2ct rear wears to quick for me. The regular pilot power is sticky enuf. I cant out ride the rear. It also a bit cheaper.

I prefer the profile of the pilot powers better. Turns quicker and leans over further/easier.

Any impressions/opinions on the new Rosso tire?

The pilot powers are better for really twisty stuff, and the diablos are better for longer faster corners...
The Diablos are also much better suited for the rain.
As a side note, personally I run out of space on the pilot powers much more then I do on the Diablos... I can go just as quickly, if not quicker, with the Diablos and still have some room before I am riding on the very edge.

Can anyone detail the differences between the Corsa III's and the Rosso's?

Corsa III's seemed to wear better for me all around. Also, Corsa's seemed to do better in the rain and give me more "room" when it comes to leaning over. I run out pretty quick with the Powers of edge. One weird thing (maybe all in my head) is that the Corsa's feel a bit "twitchy" (sensitive to input) to me when really leaned over vs. the Powers which seemed rock solid and forgiving. Not sure if that really holds water though.

The Diablo Rosso got a really good review in Roadracing World.
