Amazing colour - very jealous. Mine is hammerhead, which is a bit pedestrian (chosen for spec rather than colour).

Today in SE has been a great morning, lots of sunshine, temperature 4-5 degrees. I have just had a puncture repaired in my Michelin PS2 (not Corsa's) and grip wasn't bad at all. Great to be out after being off the road!

PS2's huh, how do they compare in the dry to the Corsa? Also any effect on handling?

I have only tried the Corsa's at the Milbrook track for the one day PDC. The weather was good and I didn't note any better grip than the PS2's (both are extremely good).

One thing I find is the PS2's continue to perform very well even down to the low 1C-2C. From what I read of the Corsa's, they struggle below 8C.

Performance in the wet in the PS2 is OK, but you need to be very careful with the right foot. I don't expect the Corsas would be any better, but I have no experience.
