This is the 2nd Rosso II that i've used. In dry, warm conditions they feel fantastic, giving excellent grip and feedback. The braking always lifts the rear before locking the front (on any half reasonable tarmac). They take a little while to get temperature into them, so for me, they don't feel hugely confidence inspiring within the first few miles of a journey. I eventually crashed when I went from a dry surface to a wet surface. Not the tyre's fault, but I wonder if something more suited to wet and cold would have performed better.

My Diablo Corsa III lasted a mere 1200 miles so I had hoped that this would be a nice compromise between outright grip and longer life. It hasn't disappointed at all. On the road, it feels just as sticky as the Diablo Corsa III although it doesn't feel like it turns in quite as fast, though that could just be me. Overall, really pleased and wear seems consistent across the tyre. Overall, very impressed.
