I followed your link, wow, that's the biggest promotion for a tire I've seen. Kind of gimmicky with the Angels and Demons and they even tie it into the movie. I love my Stradas so would have to hear some good things about these new tires. Now it's time to compare prices between these and the Diablo Stradas.

Thanks for the link. Keep us posted as to what tires you get.

They seem much more touring oriented than the Corsa III's. Corsa III's are definitely a high performance tire. I use them and love them.

I run the Corsa III's on my 2007 CBR 600 and have never had a more confidence inspiriring tire.

I use the Pilot Powers on my VFR since they wear a bit longer and I don't ride it as agressively as the little 600.

Will definately check out the new tire from Pirelli.......could end up on my VFR.

are you guys seeing any more life out of the corsaIII's compared to say a strada?

Michelin has heard everyone raving about their tires, and are jacking their prices up $50 more than competitor. Its a good tire than can yeild an extra 20%, but it aint than good when it starts getting over priced.

My local cycle gear want $208 for a rear and most mailorder is around $190 before shipping


on side note, anyone run a proad 2 rear, and also a Roadmart rear, how they compared especially life wise?

Corsa III's are a street / track day tire and will not last as long as a Strada, which is a sport touring tire.

Corsa III's trade off wear for grip.

Got 6,000 mi, out of the back. (If my commute was twistier, I could have gotten 1,500-2,000 more. Replaced with a Strata, to offset keeping the front Corsa,...... DRUM-ROLL,........... 10,215 mi. Minimal cupping, mostly a flat in the center. Still transitions surprisingly well. Almost no diving.
