As a footnote to the above post, I had the s corsas out in the rain last sunday down the GOR. You'd think from looking at them they'd be shockers in the wet but they're not... As a comparison, they're better than bt56's, hpx's and dragons.
A simple wheelspin test surprised me, (no standing water, straight line, shell grit type surface) at 70-80 it took full throttle in 2nd to spin it up (ie wouldn't spin at all in 3,4 etc).
Compare that to the standard dragon, half to 3/4 throttle in 6th would get it spinning at the same speed...
Heavy braking produced similar results, the front was gripping well enough to overtake a heap of 'tourists' on the way home...
With grooves all the way across the tyre the s corsa's replacement, the Pirelli Diablo due out soon should be the sh*t...although that may sacrifice some dry grip
