I like the idea of "upgrading" the tires of my 04 Gallardo. Originally, I had the P zero rossos, which I liked, but to pass inspection for Italiafest, my treads were marginal, so I had to buy new tires--with only days left, I could not get the Pirellis, and ended up being talked into the worst tires imaginable--Toyos , of the same size. They totally messed up the handling of the Gallardo--worst is when you do a quick left and right with no time in between, as in the kink in the Moroso home straight--with the Pirellis, there is just instant turning...with the toyos, there is a lag like you would get driving a long station wagon, with almost like an oscillation afterwards!!! One of my excuses for having Bernard run away from me :-)

I am now ready to shop for new tires again, and would consider the Corsas, but see that this increases the rear width ( which could be good), and that they are considered poor for driving in the rain...Has anybody driving these Corsas in the rain? My Toyos stink in rain, and I would not want worse from the Corsas. As I recall, the original Pirellies were pretty decent on rainy days in South Florida.

I will have something new for my trip to the Smoky mountains in NC (for a couple weeks around Thanksgiving)..either the originals, or the Corsas--if I get good feedback. I want to do Tail of the Dragon, and several other roads in the area.
Speaking of this, does anyone here know of a trailer I can rent for this trip?
A friend has a race trailer, but last time I tried , the angle of attack was too severe for the Gallardo to get up without scraping severely.
Thanks,
Dan
