Pilot Road 2 for The Concours 14?

[banditrider]

First impression after tonight's wee pootle: feel fantastic, bike felt very nimble and tipped into corners really nicely.

Now for the interesting bit: wet weather performance and longevity...

[yod]

my bet is 9-10k - i'd expect similar wear to the bird

[banditrider]

I'd like more as my first set of Stradas did just under 11...Gonna know for sure in a few months...

Id like to get 11k as well but wont hold my breath
Ill be happy if they wear evenly and i get 9k without too much squaring off. After all the connie is no feather weight

I hope they have the arrow going in the right direction. Wouldn't want a mishap!

Only in America, mind you the roads are pretty straight and long

Well here they are after 6,600km and though it's a bit hard to tell there is still plenty of life in them. I can't really report on the wet weather performance as we had very little rain on the Southern Cross but otherwise the grip is still fantastic - scraped the pegs on both sides coming over Glen Hope the other day...

They are wearing very evenly - there's pretty much the same tread depth at the sides as there is at the middle. I just dug a stone out of the rear and it appears to not be leaking so that's a bit of a bonus.

Winter is just around the corner so it will be interesting to see how they go in colder and wetter conditions (esp half worn).

Overall I'm pretty happy so far and it looks like they should be good for at least 10K at this stage - maybe more

Mine are similar and i,m very happy with the handling of them and the way they are wearing, very little squaring off in the middle Awesome so far

Someone's very keen to change to PR2's...

Interesting thread to keep an eye on: http://forum.concours.org/index.php?topic=55911.msg0;

Still a while before I know how many k's from mine. Doubt I'll get 16,000miles like 1 guy is saying...

10,050 kms on the PR2,s now and they still havnt squared off. They have even wear over the whole tyre and looks like i still have at least 1000ks left on them yet............... FMS

That's shit hot Meanie, so will you be buying another one? Mine is at 8900km and still going good.

Front BT-016 is nearly buggered at 6900km, so eating a front before rear will be a first for me.
