Result: Would you buy again? Probably not
Comment:
Excellent all round performance with the exception of turn-in.Sidewalls are very thin and floppy,nowhere near as stable as PZero Rosso or Potenza,even running +0.3bar.I was very surprised to see they were manufactured in Romania.I shall return to Bridgestone or Pirelli,probably the latter as the Potenzas are very noisy and short lived.
