R compound DE tires-MPSC, Dunlop SSR, Pirelli Corsa
What to get. MPSC, Dunlop SSR or Pirelli Corsa. I will only be using these at the track. Both the Dunlop SSR and Pirelli Corsa seem to be 250-300 less a set then the MPSC. I want to be able to flip the tires from one rim to the other to maximize use. I haven't read a lot about the Corsa or the Dunlop SSR. It seems the MPSC is the fastest and best handling. Does it wear 25-30% better then the others to make up for the price difference? Thanks a lot.

I had tried a set of the 1st generation pzero corsa's and they got super nasty dry rot cracks after just 4 summer months... I'll never try another corsa again after that experience!
I talked to someone else who had similar problems with their pzero race tire (non dot)
...unless the new corsa has changed a lot.. I wouldn't trust it!

Scan the archives, especially in the racing forum (believe you posted there too), as this is an often discussed topic. James Archard has a recent post there where he summarized the current 'views' on the various R compound tires.
