I'm still loving my Rossos. Had them out in the wet and rain today. Only one minor slip leaving an intersection. Uphill, leaning over to the left, and trying not to get hit. Had a pickup in front of me pull out slow, and a car coming the other direction too fast, and an impatient pickup behind me. Slipped on some road paint halfway through the intersection. The rear slipped and then reconnected and all I got was a bit of pucker and the bike's rear end wiggled.

I've heard they don't last as long... they're dual compound but not as hard in the center

I was all set to give the Road 2's a try next... but after the way my Strada's held up... I think for road trips... that's my tire... VERY little flat spotting... after what... 3k of superslab?
