Engineering the ultimate sport tire is no easy feat. Today's market is tough—
scratch that, it's cutthroat. Consumers aren't looking for the best of one
world, they're looking for the best of every world. High-speed stability, wet-
weather grip, sporty racetrack performance and longevity are required just to
exist here. Missing one of those? Your tires will sit on the retailer's sale racks,
collect dust and not make a dollar. It's not an easy job for tire engineers.
Pirelli, however, says that it can hit every sport tire mark just right—and then some.
The Italian brand's recent introduction of the Diablo Rosso Corsa II proves that.
Pirelli didn't do the bare minimum in order to create a successful tire. In
fact, the manufacturer tapped into its 15-year experience as the official tire
supplier for the WorldSBK Championship to improve outright performance,
as well as unveiling all-new technologies in the updated Rosso Corsa II.
The new Rosso
Corsa II aims
to be the tire
you take to the
track as well as
the canyon. For
a trackday tire,
it stood up to
almost anything
Michael could
throw at it.
