I have S22s on my 16R, they are very confidence inspiring in the dry and pretty good in the wet. I got 4500 miles from the first rear. I’ll definitely fit them again.
I had s22 on mine when I totaled it... not that it was tire related, but will probably fit r5’s after pirelli’s are worn ( will be before next season though... )
Hi Steve - did you go for the M7RRs? I am thinking about the same tire, mainly because I want something than can handle the broken tarmac in Malaysia, and hopefully soften the ride a little. My only concern is that the M7RRs are an older tire, technology wise. The Rosso Corsa II and the S22 both appeal, but I can't find out much about ride quality. Might have to try the M7s and see.

David, no I haven’t got new tires yet. Looks like the supercorsa’s will last, as I have less than a month of insurance left for this year. If it were me I wouldn’t consider the Corsa II, as it’s just below the supercorsa in their lineup. The Rosso III would be a direct comparison to the S22’s. I’ve had the Rosso III and loved it. It had great ride quality and lasted a long time. I’ve read the M7RR’s provide better grip on roads that are in poor condition, or have surface debris like rocks, sand etc. I don’t think the M7RR’s are completely out dated. They don’t have have multi compound technology, true, but do use full silica compound up front with a mixture of silica in the rear for wet conditions and added mileage. That with the traction they are supposed to have, makes it worth a try I think. I’ll let you know what I end up with.
