If you think they are crap then i am quite happy to take them off your hands and try them out for another perspective.

I'm fairly certain they're going to be great. Pirelli aren't going to spend 15 years in SBK and then get their first multiple compound tyre wrong.duke63 wrote:If you think they are crap then i am quite happy to take them off your hands and try them out for another perspective.
Interestingly though, I can't find a single review or test on the internet in English.

Like I say, in English. Seemed like he was getting a move on and smiled a lot.

Re: Pirelli Rosso Corsa 2
I think my next tyre will be these, the Michelin RS or M7RR.
I do like Pirelli tyres so they are a favourite but I think all will be way way better than me so mileage and price will most likely be the deciding factor.
All 3 manufacturer's normally run some good promotions so will watch out for those

Re: Pirelli Rosso Corsa 2
The last Rosso corsas I had really put me off them decent in the dry but anything but that they moved around alot.
The m7rr were good and was close to buying them again.
Wanted to give the Michelin rs ago was impressed with them on Andy's bike.
Stick a good review up Monty will be interesting to see how they compare to the m7rrs

Re: Pirelli Rosso Corsa 2
Same at the tyres on the Street. Really worked well on the track and on dry roads but were quick to spin up on damp and wet roads.rocket wrote:The last Rosso corsas I had really put me off them decent in the dry but anything but that they moved around alot.

Re: Pirelli Rosso Corsa 2
Yeah I had the Rosso Corsa spinning up in a straight line on the motorway. Not hooning around either but just rolling on in top gear to blend in with faster moving traffic.
I can understand the tyre moving on it sides but surprised me when bolt upright.
Admittedly they were part worn but well within legal limit.

Re: Pirelli Rosso Corsa 2
I've got the Rosso Corsa's on my Street (OEM) and they lack feel when cool /wet thats for sure. I'll be happier when they need changing.
