Yea, impressive except for Alfa. QF comes with really soft track rubber so expect to replace the tires after 3,000 miles The treadwear rating on P Zero Corsa is 60... Michelin PSS is 300
Stupid cheating Italians. This is their gig for sure.
C/D did a little side bar on this. Michelin does not make a full set in the staggered front/rear sizes on the Quadrifoglio. So they got a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sports which, and you have to laugh at their naming attempt to be recognized as a PSS competitor, C/D says they are similar.

Results, comparing tires and to the ATS-V just for fun.
0-30
Alfa on P Zero Corsa: 1.6s
Alfa on Continentals: 1.7s
ATS-V on PSS: 1.6s

0-60
Alfa on P Zero Corsa: 3.6s
Alfa on Continentals: 3.9s
ATS-V on PSS: 3.9s

0-100
Alfa on P Zero Corsa: 8.1s
Alfa on Continentals: 8.4s
ATS-V on PSS: 8.8s

5-60
Alfa on P Zero Corsa: 4.2s
Alfa on Continentals: 4.2s
ATS-V on PSS: 4.3s

70-0
Alfa on P Zero Corsa: 143 ft
Alfa on Continentals: 156 ft
ATS-V on PSS: 150 ft

Skidpad
Alfa on P Zero Corsa: 1.00g
Alfa on Continentals: 0.96g
ATS-V on PSS: 0.99g

I'd still like to see this on the same tires but this shows a definite difference in skidpad and braking. And in the launch. These are the only numbers they published as I would have liked to see the slalom or something. Or lap times. Anyway, the ATS-V is definitely right there with it and even a little superior depending on what you are measuring.
