I've had Pilot Powers and Corsa IIIs on my S3 and I prefer the Pilot Powers. They last longer and steer quicker and both stick just fine for me. FWIW, I run the pressures at 34/38, to prolong life and prevent the front from cupping, which (in my experience) all front tires tend to do at lower pressures.

Regarding the Qualifiers, my brother had a set on his 950 Supermoto. He liked them, but, for reasons he still doesn't understand, he low-sided around a medium-speed corner. There was nothing on the asphalt on which he could blame the apparent lack of traction. The tires are probably fine, but one doesn't like to have doubts in the back of one's mind.
