Need a new front tire and I want long life but still prefer enough grip for occasional twistys.

My last set of corsas covered 4 track days and aprox. 9000+ miles over a year's time. Your results may vary. :D

I'd recommend Pirelli Corsas over the M1s if you're planning to commute a lot. I had 2 sets of M1s on my F4i, and they wear out quick.

Those Metzelers wear out like skin on pavement.

M1 are a bit cheaper, but the Pirelli's will last quite a bit longer. You dont need the corsas though. Just get the regular diablos and save a 100 bucks.

Yeah, I have the regular diablos now. I can't tell the difference. But then again, I can't be accused of being an aggressive rider.

Are you saying that he plays for both teams?

I ride diablos on and off track. they are great tires and I think that they last a long time...I have never had a rear tire live its full life. They keep getting staples, nails, or gashes in them. :doh

My last front had 4 trackdays and the rest canyon and commuting miles equalling over 10k miles on it and still had several thousand miles of life left to it. I actually still have it in my garage as a "just in case" tire.
