Well tbh they say the Roadsmarts are the best out there in the wet! Think im going to go for a pair of PP next though. Either that or PP front and PR2 back.

Roadsmarts *were* the best in the wet. I read last week that there's now a new front runner. I'll see if I can find where it was.

Hmmm.

What are Pirelli supercorsa's like? A mate who does track racing is selling on used one's for £50 a pair... but id imagine they will be a little poor in the wet?

Very poor in the wet.. AFAIK they have NO silica in them... they take a while to warm up and don't like many heat cycles.. I hear 20-25 before they start going all blue and hard..

however when warm and in good condition... they will outgrip anything!!
