I like black tires, especially if they are round

I just put a set of Pilot Powers on my friends Busa 190 rear. It turns in awesome. I think the profile of the PPs promote better turn in, than the qualifiers.

I ride PPs and I swear by them. I think my next tire im going to try the pilot race

I'm in love with my diablo corsas that have seen better days.

So i'm gonna buy a pair of metzzlers off a friend who gave me a great deal. I was told the pirelli's and the mettzlers were pretty much the same combo. So i'll just have to wait and see.

if your already using Super Corsa why not use the 190 55? It has the same turn in advantage but also has a bigger contact patch. Best of both worlds.

You guys are talking 180 55 correct? 180 50 = garbage

Pirelli owns Mettzler now. M1's are Diablo Corsa carcass & Super Corsa rubber

I do run the 190 also but only for LSR. It's a very tall tire... for daily ridding though I like the 180.
