in the dry the rosso corsa offers phenomenal grip, but at almost double the price of the dunlop Q3, and with 2/3 the tread life. the carcass of the tire is also noticeably softer than the dunlops - which translates into good front end feel for some people, or mushiness for others. the majority of people i've met on track swear by pirellis, whereas others just love the stiffer dunlops. for what it's worth, howard was consistently doing 1:55's at the ridge on his 848 with rosso corsas with no issues, which is almost podium pace for the WMRRA novice racers that are on slick tires.

Damn, if that fat cunt can do it... Sold! Rosso Corsas it is!
