The new rosso corsas are amazing tires on the XB!!! They make the regular rossos seem crappy. I highly recommend them. I have a Ss and they work great. Tons o grip when leaned over. Now you know. |

The standard Rosso is not a particularly well-suited tire for the Buell, specifically the front. I had to push mine a lot harder into turns than Diablo Corsas, thus the front Rosso wore astonishingly fast. The new Rosso Corsa is supposedly a notable improvement. |

I had the same problem with my old front rosso as well. I admit I kept using the regular rosso because it is so sexy. Now I have cool looking tires that handle very well. |

"i just bought a set of Rosso's how can i tell if they are the old style or new?" The new one includes the word "Corsa" on the sidewall. (Message edited by nuerburgringer on July 27, 2010) |

FYI if they are the new ones you can order custom gp style stickers for your sidewall. |

Rosso and Rosso Corsa are not in the same league, the Corsa version is not a replacement for the Rosso its a replacement for the Corsa III. Rosso is a street sport tire. Rosso Corsa is a full blown sport/track tire (slower track pace... or colder day...). I have a set on my XB12Ss and love it. Never ran a regular Rosso. |

"the Corsa version is not a replacement for the Rosso" I never believed so. I was under the distinct impression that the inquirer was interested in specifically which model he'd purchased. |

Understood... just clarifying in case anyone took your use of "new" literally, as if the Corsa is the newer Rosso rather than a more newly developed tire. Either way, I dig the tire . |
