Comment:
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.
