Has anyone tracked the new Pirelli corsa tires, who has tracked the Michelin Sport Cups? Was wondering what your thoughts were? Which is the better track tire. As Both of these can be used for street or track.

Last weekend I had the Corsas on the front, Sport Cups on the back of my Gen 5. No complaints about either tire. The Corsas seemed a little more melted after the day, whereas the Sport Cups didn't look much different before/after. Having driven both on the street, and in the rain, the Corsa is a better street tire. Sport Cups are pretty awful when it is wet or cold outside. On the track, I would go with the Sport Cups.

Here is the Corsa after about 20 hard laps at MSR Houston.

Comments on the Corsa's:

1. Excellent rain tire.

2. Excellent street tire with better life than the wear rating indicates.

3. If you work them at their limit they wear quickly.

4. They need a lot of heat to get up to max grip.
