    Hi speed in a straight line eh!

    well thats shut me up hasn't it!

    I got nothing against shinko's, I have heard good and bad reports on em, and that is why I tried them for myself.

    They are an adequate tyre and would be acceptable for any sensible road rider.

    Their wet performance is not vey good, but there are far worse bits of road than the tyre, if you try and use the PP2CT's claimed 45deg wet lean angle on the road...your going down! Oil spots, deisel spills, white paint and overbanding don't care how expensive your tyres are!

    My research has found however that the most expensive tyres I can get cost 13c per kilometer to use.

    Paintwork and fairing damage resulting from using cheap tyres is $1500 per metre....

    I've had 2 offs due to shit tyres (Continental), one of them in front of a good sized audience (that sucks) so I'll stick with he tyres that I trust to stick to the road.

    I Use PP2CT on the track on my Busa and find them as good as slicks, better sometimes as they give excellent feedback.

    I love em!

    Pilot roads are a better choice (really) for the GTS that I have in NZ co it is heavy, near 300kg plus Luggage and me (Fatty) and The little lady. When I got it it had old hard Conti's on. Replaced with PP2CT which were cactus only 21 days later (NZ has the best roads!)

    Cycletreads did not have any 2CT Powers so I opted for Roads in lieu, so far so good.

    Interesting banter last night but there still for sale!

    A couple of track days this weekend, wouldn't it be nice to have a fresh new tyre to get out there on?
