Anyone got a set of these on their car? I need some new tyres and it is between the Corsa's and PS2's. Price difference between the two is negligible (relatively). I'm particularly interested in what they are like in the wet.

Traditionally, Pirelli are crap in the wet. Given that choice, I'd go Michelin every time.

Great tyre, I run all 4 Asimmetrico (not the Asimmetric/Direzionale combo) and love them. They don't excel at clearing lots of standing water.

EFA, just re-read your post and you specify 'wet'. The PS2 is the one to go for if that's the case.

Interestingly pirelli recommend fitting direzionale on the front and asimmetrico on the rear with my car. Absolutely no idea what the difference is between doing that and running asimmetrico all around.

The query about wet performance is really just to confirm they are not terrible in the wet. They're going on a daily driver.

My Mrs is currently driving the car they're on to get to work, 30 miles a day in snow/ice/wet roads and they're fine. Sod winter tyres, nice set of road legal track tyres are what you really need.

Most of my research for these tyres came from American M5 owners, they swear by them and rate them well above the PilotSport, on their cars.
