Anyone running this combo? My Pirelli Diablo Strada's dont have long left and the Pilots were recommended as a replacement tyre.
Just wondering if anyone can comment.

I follow the 50/50/90 rule.
Anytime I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right there is a 90% probability I will get it wrong

Yep...exactly what I'm running (Pilot 2CT's) and my 9 had the same Pirelli's on it when I got it. The Pilot's were a big improvement over the Pirelli's, though to be fair the previous owner wasn't big on cornering and the Pirelli's were worn a bit flat in the middle which didn't help...Originally Posted by cowpatz
I found that the Michelins did take a few km's to 'bed in' or whatever you want to call it, but now they have done some mileage I am really impressed with them. Talked a mate of mine with a ZX9 into fitting some and he is equally happy with them. So far wear rate seems to be very good and I really can't think of anything bad to say about them.

Second that. The Pilot Road 2s were made for bikes like the RF. Well, you'd think so.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
The TV collector.
Third that, just bought a second road 2 for the rear of the 14, most milage i've had out of any tyre i've had on my bikes and stuck plenty well enough for me but I will say i'm running power 2ct's on the front but the combo seems fine to me...
ZZZZZZZZZZ
Another vote for Pilot Road 2's

Let me know if you manage to get a good price - my Diablos are half dead so I may need some new ones now that the better weather is nearly upon us.

Try Boyd Motorcycles in Hamilton. The did me a very good price - although I did buy 3 sets of tyres (not all for me) at once.

Awesome tyres.. I've tried many different types and combos but the best all around tyre for my bike is the Pilot Road 2's. I get more kilometres per set, better grip wet and dry and lots of confidence and feed back from these tyres.
A rear will do me around 4-4500kms and a front will stretch to 6-7,000kms.
That is bloody good for my bike. I do push them hard and love corners
Other tyres wear a lot quicker on my machine but theese are great!
If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.

Yep, I have PR2's on my 650 and they are like the hand of god.. particularly noticeable in the wet.

In theory Cycletreads in Barrys Point Rod, Takapuna should be able to give you the best deal seeing as they are owned by the importer of the tyres....

I have a second set of PR2's on my RF now. The first set I did approx. 17,000 k's on. Sure grip all the way through their life. Now onto the second set. First set I got through Bayride in TGA for $520 delivered. Second set I got from... ummm... the place in Hamilton on Te Rapa straights for $540 (picked up)
I got told before I got them that Michelin rubber goes off about 2/3rds through their wear but that turned out to be crap. PR2's rock!!
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them

Wastrel...
I got 18,000 and still WOFable
