Rosso 3 Vs Ross 4

Discussion in 'Tyres' started by Festa, Sep 6, 2024.

  1. Just about to change tyres after 7000 miles on my current Rosso 3's, had no problems and been happy with the 3's but its only about £50 more for a pair of Rosso 4's so wondering if worth the extra money if anyones had both. Bikes an 848 evo and road only no track use planned anytime soon..

    Thanks
     
  2. Its very unusual for a new version of a tyre to be worse than the one that it replaces…

  5. My motorcycle originally came with Rosso 3 as stock, but to be honest, I felt that Rosso 2, which I had used on my previous bikes, performed better. I think Rosso 3 loses its compound properties a bit too quickly.

    After that, I mostly used Rosso 4, and for me, the answer is definitely Rosso 4. You could also go for Corsa Rosso, but interestingly, it takes longer to heat up on asphalt (Street) compared to Rosso 4. However, once it reaches the right temperature, it becomes an absolute grip monster.

    Aside from that, I’ve previously used Hypersport S20 and S22, both of which I found to be excellent. S22 has better wet performance than Rosso 4, while their overall lifespan and grip capabilities are pretty much the same. In fact, I’m currently running Hypersport S22 on my bike.

    This year, I decided to try something different and got a set of Continental Sport Attack 4 on sale. I haven’t mounted them yet, but my first impression is that they feel softer compared to Rosso and Hypersport. Let’s see how they perform once I put them on.

  6. Additionally, I'll try to write a comparison review after I’ve tested the Continental.
