I prefer Perellis
Super Corsas are great especially when cut so the grooves extend to the edge, Diablos are excellent, just got another set yesterday, also got a set of Diablo Corsas but haven't tried them yet.
Also happy with Metzelers the Rennsports are great on the track, I have recently been using Sportecs on the 916 including the Cadwell trackday where they did a excellent job.
Dunlop D207RRs again are a good tyre as is the D207GP but these need to be warmed up before pushed.

Went to Mark at RideinTyres in Reading on Saturday and went for the Diablo Corsas in the end.

First impressions..................excellent :smug:

Went over to OnYerBike yesterday for the oil cooler check on the recall and scrubbed them in a bit over about 100 miles. Just need to get rid of the chicken strips now :lol:

Out of interest........what are peeps paying for these (190 rear) ............. loose wheels?

Right. After 3k miles, my 999S needs a new back tyre. The OE was Michelin Sport Cups, with a 190/50 at the back. I am opting for a 180/55 to replace it and will report back with my findings concerning moving down from a 190 to a 180.
I still have a lot of wear left on the front tyre, so I'm staying with Mich for now (as I've no complaints) but I reckon I will replace front and back with Bridgestone BT014s next time, to see how they compare.

Decisions, decisions. Wish I had a rodent to advise me, like Jools has. :lol:
