I've run corsas, cups, and now RE11s. The corsas were the worst at the track by far, the cups are ok but wear way too fast. The new RE11s are where it's at!

Any comment on this tire?

Never tried them, sticking with the RE-11s for now, everything is great so no reason to change

I ran the corsa tire on my 996 for a while. Good dry traction, slightly less than the sport cup, also took a few more laps to get up to temp. Wet traction better than the sport cups, or about the same as the "N" spec sport cup. I plan on making the switch to the Re11 when I cord the present cups, which should be after the next track day.
