Good find! Now let them take those tyres out on a wet track and rate them! Sports-Touring tyres are all about all round ability, not how they go round a dry track.... Oh I see this was from last year's PB, perhaps they did an 'end of life' report?

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. :cool:

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!!
