not yet - but will definately give them a go
if they're supposed to be even better than the diabolo supercorsas i've got on atm they will be fantastic...

seriously these things stick like chewy on a carpet... cat n fiddle i swear they have put 30mph on my corners easy.
pulled into the carpark at the pub and the sides were melted so sticky the rubber sticks to your hand.

i like the profile on the rosso tho - reckon they will be better in the wet than the supercorsa

Any of this got anything to do with Mike's question ?

just saying if theyre anything like the supercorsas they should be ace....
i'll give them a go but theyre fkin dear atm lol!

the profile & tread pattern looks top

Who gives a toss what anyone else says at that price.

just got a set of these with 500 miles - Â£35

absolutely no wear on them at all. still got hairs on!
the guy took them off to get his wheels coated and is putting new ones on - bargain.

not got my hands on the rosso corsas yet though but got an eye open for a pair - will let you know how they perform.
these are 190/120s though, rear slightly oversize for the storm

also got a pair of 1000 mile pirelli dragons and a set of headers & std screen for the zx - gratis

yeh i know, i read the reviews, but i wasnt going to turn down a set of new tyres for that price lol - it would cost nearly that to get them fitted & balanced!
they won't be going on until the supercorsas are shot.
storm is coming apart now for winter rebuild & repaint - i'll just be riding the kwak with avon storm ultras until spring & warmer weather.
