Was talking to them last week. They had put pilot road 2CT on my gsxr, these tyres are so awesome. Said they can do $550 for a set of pilot road 2ct. Not sure what others are offering but that seems pretty cheap for a long wearing sticky tyre.

You can’t compare the Pilot sport with the pilot Road2. Very different tyre and the PR2 is a new technology and the Sport have been around for yonks. The sport is a good tyre but will wear out quick. I have one on the SV. 3k and well over half worn. Most of that has been genteel riding 2 up.

yeah i have read up about the pr2 , 2ct technology is pretty good. I remember seeing on one of there auctions to contact them about what tyres and sizes you want and they will do a combo deal, they did have PR2s on one of there auctions at one stage
