Pilot Road 2CT vs Pilot Sport

[Sparky Bills]

Ive just put a set of Pilot Power 2CT's on the 07 Blade.
WHOLEY SHIT!!! They make the bike feel SOOOO planted!
Doesnt fall in, doesnt pick up. Does exactly what its asked.
Will give the Road 2's a go next. If they feel anything like the Power's, i dont think there will be anything to worry about.


Will let you know how many K's i get out of them.
Usually get bout 4500 out of a rear, but will see.

Man!!! only 4500 k's. Do you ride hard, or is that all you can expect from them?
I've already done 3000 on my Pilot Road2's - I may get about 10,000 K's at a push.

Just put a Pilot Road CT2 on the rear today and couldn't help but notice the lightness of the tyre compared to the Pirelli I took off should have weighed the tyres but it felt as if there was at least .5kg difference and the Michelin is so much softer in the carcass & sidewalls too

Naaaa the harder you ride on them the less you use the centre. Just changed a PP for a PP2 on the front of the Busa after 17,000km & got 11,000km out of my last rear.

Umm I'd be interested to know if Pilot Roads, 2 or otherwise, were actually a recommended fitment on a CBR.

I once read where a tyre comparison test was being done and the magazine people had a real hard job to convince the tyre fitters to put sprot touring tyres on a CBR 600 because they weren't approved for the bike.

The CBR1000s I've seen came with Diablo Corsas which is a whole different thing.

Had a look at michelin site

600 it says you can put powers, sports, roads (did not say roads 2, but had old roads, which no one really should be putting on any more superseeded with road 2's)

With the 1000 it only says powers, sports, not the roads tho.
