Michelin Pilot power Vs 2ct

[Carwhore]

I'm getting a new rear tire put on the bike tonight and want to know if you guys have any personal experience with these tires.

I know my brother runs the regular pilot powers on his bike and does him well, the 2ct are a multi-compound tire.

I have ran both on my R6 and the only differance i really noticed on the street is the 2ct seems to wear faster than the regular pilot. just my experiance though.

2ct is more of a performance tire.. If its just a street tire, pilot power will be a GREAT pick.. If you want to do trackdays get the power one 2ct.

[Carwhore]

its going on a supermoto and I won't see many track days, just pushing it hard on the street mainly.

[MidgetTodd]

I ran pp on the sumo, 2ct on 1000rr for track

[Carwhore]

probably just going to run a pp. Iron pony wont price match stg's price so I'm not going to buy one.

PP are great for the street. I have run regular PP on the track and still been fine

I have the opposite opinion. The soft edge of the 2CT seems to get shredded quick if you're on it all the time. Would make for a nice margin of safety on the street.

Think most 2ct tire compounds are softer than typical 1ct's but the centers are a little harder than a 1ct for longevity? I got Dunplop Roadsmarts 2ct trying to get more life out of the rear, I do corner some but not enough to shred 'em up yet - usually the centers go on the back of mine - I lika twista da gassa!

power one 2ct is a great street tire, but you won't get NEAR the mileage out of it you would a pilot power

for street, get pilot road 2. You'd have to try rrreaally hard to out ride those.

yea I'm with the asian sensation, getting some for the VFR at some point this year is a must

[Carwhore]

the pilot power did perfectly fine at 555 so I'm content.

[blue03636]

Up until this year I have ran the pilot power rear on the track with a 2CT front. Never had any issues and they held up really well. I had about 12 days coaching novice and 10 days in I group plus I had 2 races on them. There is still tred left on the edges but they have been pulled for street duty.

Just put a set of those on my R6. I'd recommend as well.

[RSparky]

i put them on. they're nice. i have only gotten it squirrelly in the rain. but probably gonna get something cheaper next time.

[shadyone]

tires are one of the things i will not go cheap on.. i might get them cheap but won't trust cheap tires. i recommend any of the 2cts, roads or pp... both good. I've got the pp 2cts now.
