My Corsa III's stuck amazingly well. If they only would have better wear characteristics.

I'm still on my first set. 3,000+ miles and counting.

Yeah, I got 3K out of my first rear. It was ok yet, but I wanted a new one for my track day. I got 3300 miles on that after the track day, and total 6300 on the front.
With the price of them, I can't justify them for the riding I do. I will get over twice the wear out of a set of Powers for less money. I can deal with a little less grip.

I'll probably go back to Michelin when these are done. Road 2's or Pilot Power. Always loved the PP's.

Yeah, I have about 4500 miles on the PP's so far, and still over 50% on the rear.
