So even though they may not reach as high of limit for me, penalty for going over that limit is less severe than with Pirellis.
That mirrors my experience also. The A13 front does start to slide earlier, but I've done it about 10 times and have managed to recover it without sliding.

That said I'm not sure which tire I would prefer overall. Supercorsa SC do stick to a great lean angle.
