Default Much better than than the Toyo perhaps, but not as good as most others.
I am an avid Michelin and Firestone fan.

The Pilot Sport A/S and the Firestone SZ50EP are the two best tires for the moola IMHO.

Default Much better in what way?
I found my Rossos to wear unevenly (and rather quickly). I thought they were marginal at best in the wet. I thought they had sloppy turn-in due to their flimsy sidewalls (a pothole later split one open and dented the wheel like the sidewalls were made of plastic). And to me, the worst part of them was that the Rossos liked to be sliding when they generated grip. So if you were cornering at about 7/10ths or higher, they did not provide a sure-footed reassuring feel, since they would be sliding a little bit while they gripped.
