Round and sticky

This should give you some basic data to compare.

Not surprising, the Supercorsa tops the list. They've been great on my busa with a 190/55 on the rear. I'm considering going with the Supercorsa slick on my 14.

They're not talked about much anymore but I liked Bridgestone BT-016s on the street and hey are pretty affordable. I used the BT-003s and I would not push them as hard on the street as the cheaper BT-016s.

I'll back M7RRs. I'm looking forward to seeing what these Diablo IIs are like.
