Pilot Power 2CT's

these tires have been great. i figured i would give a small review on them incase anyone has considered getting these. The grip on these things are amazeing EXCEPT when it gets wet. these are DRY WEATHER tires. more often then not if i dont clutch through a puddle, and go from dry to wet i WILL lose traction. NOW, for those dry days, i can lean the hell out of these things with fairly agressive acceleration and not worry about traction loss if there is no debry on the road. i gave these suckers a rub down compared to the Diablo corsa tires and i could instantly feel the difference in compound. i do not know much about the corsa tires, but from that alone i would have chosen the 2CT's. The only fault with the tires being as sticky as they are is that they wear quicker then the normal compound tires. the price obviously varies between the two with my purchase costing $260 for rear only and around $240 for the corsa. but when it comes down to it, I HIGHLY recommend the Michelin Pilot Power 2ct tires.

I'm going to give the 2CT's a try next time around. I've heard good things from just about everyone.

I agree, they have been great tires. I have had them on since last Sept and seem to get fairly good mileage out of them. Avi, quit doing burnouts with them and they will last, kids these days

$260 for the rear only

Where the hell do you shop? I ordered them on ebay their first week on the market for $300, front and rear plus shipping.

No matter what these are my tires of choice until something better comes out. They are worth a try.

I put new tires on the bike, told the dealer to replace with the same, 2 Pilot Powers. I got a new Front Pilot Power, and a rear Pilot Power 2CT. I guess that's what they had in the store.

I love new tires. And these are something else. With my plain Pilot Power on the back, at extreme cornering I always thought my back tire was trying to hop out on me, but with only 1 year experience riding, and on the same tires I thought, what do I know. Well, tonight I was going thru the cloverleaf at 50 and rock steady.
