Trofeo's are here!
Better jump on them while you can. I purchased them for my GT2 and TTS. Both Bob Woodman Tires and Frisby Tires either have them on the shelf or can order them out of Atlanta direct from Pirelli.
I have not mounted mine yet but they are obviously soft and nice read pattern. They are less expensive than the Corsa System track tires.:) |
Sizes? Wear rating? Price? I vaguely remember GMG's thread on these, but thought Pirelli was halting production for other projects.

Here is the direct link: http://www.pirelli.com/tyre/ww/en/ca...ro_trofeo.html
I paid $503.00 for the 305's and $321.00 for the 235's. For the GT2 I paid slightly more for than $535.00 for the 325's. |
Must be nice to be able to get them....we can't.......

Any head to head comparisons of this tire with MPSC's, R888's, etc? |

Well that's concerning. If a large distributor can't even get a hold of them, then what happens if you blow one out? Kinda up $hits creek if you can't find a replacement.

So are these superior to the Corsa?

I would be very interested in your impression of the 2 tires against each other. Not just performance, but (maybe even more importantly) harshness and noise, as a number of us here use these tires on streets also. BTW, worth mentioning that the R888 is about 20 lbs heavier (!!) than Corsa, total all 4 corners: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...iffness-2.html From what I could read (basically, unsubstantiated rumor), R888 could be noisy, and Trofeo is a more track oriented Corsa?? The price seems very nice - I paid 2400 for my N rated Corsa! :( It's ok - that would be the last time I buy N rated tires. |
Michelin Pilot Super Sport vs Pirelli Trofeo
How does the Trofeo's stack up against the Michelin PSS in handling, gripping, noise level and tread wear?
Anyone know? TIA |
Trofeos are excellent tires! Very sticky.

Just ordered a set of the Trofeo's, which I'll mount in the spring. Was going to get MPSC's next, but for $500 less I figured I'd give these a shot.

I may replace my MSS's on my TTS prematurely and see what they will do for my 0-60 and 0-100 V-Box Times. With my upgrades my best times stand at 2.5 seconds (0-60) and 6.1 seconds (0-100). However, I am spinning a bit when using LC and hoping the Trofeos will improve or eliminate the spin leading to better times. How much? Only the good Lord knows but certainly a -10th or -2 10th's should be a realistic number. |
