The rosso has been used for the entire test process, also the driving experience team specically requested rosso`s. (Jochi`s choice)

I think its a great multi purpose tyre, its has a ITAR rating of 14.6, the Michelin has 11.9, meaning it will last longer, work better when hot, less so when cold. Ben is right, when below xx mm becuase of the pattern it does drive itself.

From what I can understand the Michelin tyres are more an existing contractually issue than a choice.
