    I have done the searches, please don't kill any cats for this, but would to like to know which of these tyres I should pick. I only want one of these. I have to choose on eof these brands.

    Now, according to the TWI (Tread Wear Index) they have the same value. I have also read that this value is only meaningful whne comparing like brands, not across brands (as this value is set up with a reference tyre from the same manufactures tyres). So a reference from Michelin I guess would be different than one from Pirelli.

    So which is really softer. I only want it as a dry weather tyre, and R compound is not an option.
    Any experiences with both, and which one gives better feedback.
    This will go on a 512TR.
    Thanks.

    Damn...
    I though you needed help in picking between a Ps2 or Rossa Membership!!
    From my experience Pirellie tyres are pretty soft. I had them on my GTO and they only lasted about 10k km's. Mind you, it was a GTO.......

    Forgot to add, the block size: the PS2 are larger than the Rossos, so which one would be better in the dry and which one will give more feedback?

    Not a clue about the Rosso, yet the new PS2 on the car are very impressive and said to be great both dry and wet. Some have said they are better than the S02 and S-03(!). All i can say is that after 600+ miles i am truly impressed with the PS2. Great grip, little to no tire squeal, little tramlining, and steering response is great.
