Non 2CT PILOT POWERS..Any reviews?

**Mountlocal1** · 1st November 2007, 13:16

Hey guys,

Have just ordered a set of non 2ct pilot powers... Was told the 2ct's wear a lot quicker and Im a bit of a Nana anyway... Anyone used these? What did ya think of them?

Cheers!

Awsome tires, but i am also a michelin supporter, awsome all round tyre, communting, weekend fun, some track time. Yes there are better tires in those type of areas, but as an overall tire for every day sort of use, can't go wrong.

I have gone thru two sets on the 600, we also put them on the gsxr 1000, they are now on the rsvr, and also on the busa.

I am currently running the 2ct, and wouldn't say that were that much quicker than normal powers. would wear quicker if on the track, but not the road.

They are the best wet weather tyre I've tried but are average as far as dry conditions go.... my 2c's worth (rounded up to the nearest 10c of course)

They have got to be better than the Diablo Strada I had on the back... The front one is sweet but the back...

yip for sure, but a strada is considered a tourer tyre and the PP's sport....

in my opinion the non 2ct's are terrible at a brisk pace, i had some and sold them 500k's later; They've got a soft tyre wall which flexes REALLY badly on cornering.. VERY off putting;

at the shop they showed me the difference between tyre walls on 2ct's and standard powers and the 2cts have a more rigid tyre wall.

i ditched the standards and wont use 'em again, i do however like the 2ct's... and yes they are light years difference in feel and feedback and are also a lot softer compound. i had them on teh track and teh 2cts are sticky sticky

got the standard powers on my K5 Thou and they're very good.
2CT's from what I hear are better, but for me the standards are good enough.
I've done a couple of trackdays and a few thousand road km's and they've still got plenty of life in them. Maybe a few thousand more km's or a couple more trackdays???
Love them, lots of feedback, more than enough grip for the medium group at trackdays and warmup quickly.
I will probably try the 2CT's next just to see if they really are that much better.

2CT's are where it's at...

They got two turntables and a microphone...
