I intially wondered the same thing before getting to drive a Quadrifolio, but now having had a chance to drive them back to back daily for the last two weeks, I can honestly save it's not just street tires versus R compound tires.
The suspension on the Alfa is both firm and compliant. I drive the car yesterday on a bitterly cold 11 degree cold day, and even in those conditions, the Alfa felt more sure footed. R Compound tires alone don't behave that way in sub-freezing temps. There is something else mechanical going on here. I was even driving it in Race mode (traction control off) versus my M3 on Blizzaks. The Alfa still seems to put the power down better even on full boil. |
Wait, you're comparing an awd cars ability to get traction on r comps versus a rwd on blizzaks and you just now acknowledge that? Reverse the tire configurations and then report back, otherwise your opinions are null and void.
