What are ya nuts!!!???Originally Posted by Max Preload
You're using all your tyre IN THE WET? You are a riding GOD!
Fook'n PR2s feather up badly because of those silly channels to the edge.I don't use all the tyre in the dry let alone wet. "I have a thing for channels to the edge"...meaning it's physiological.
It's the same as when I have to put 2 pairs of undies on in the mourning or when I have to tie, untie then retie my left shoe an 10:23am every day. It's just a thing.

I want some, but seeing what I could get them for from o'seas makes me kinda spew. Still, if you want them you'll pay for them, and I suppose I will.

haha there's never a rational reason for what I do/think.
But you do raise an interesting point. How many people would use the channels at the edge of any tyre in the wet? They say you can lean only a fraction less in the wet than if it was dry (different discussion) but how many people do? And is it better to get a tyre like the Pure which, having the 'slick' edges, be better for dry weather riding when you're, let's be honest, gonna be going for it?
Maybe I should have a talk with my other personalities and discuss what I really need.
So what are the price of the Pures compared with the 2CT's?

RRP for 120/70/17 is $279.99, rear 190/50/17 $429.99.

That depends largely on how long it's been since any rain... and the type of surface... wet concrete is very different to wet tar snake riddled road...

A bit dearer than the 2ct but not much. It'll be interesting to see what mileage people end up getting out of them.

I might pick up a Pure front and run it with the rear Pirelli Rosso I've got sitting in the garage. One day I might actually fit a set of tyres.

Full retail is rude eh... I paid $570 for a pair of the above mentioned sizes.

Whaaaat? that's very reasonable where the hell did you get them? Or are you like a "mate of a mate" of mine who works for forbes and davies? (hence I wo'nt be getting any cheap tyres.....)

Basically I spend a lot of money there so... The thing is I can't count on getting the next set for that money but hell, at this point i'll take it.

Keep meaning to ask, do the P Pure's ride ok? Been a common observation 'round these parts the Michelin Pilot Power/Road 2's are quite a hard riding tyres, they seem to have a quite a stiff carcass but I have'nt laid eyes on the tires I ordered yet so I have'nt been able to compare them.

In the states you can get a set from about US$240. Mine would be just over that, about $280. That's advertised prices on websites with stock.

IIRC I saw the Pures in Boyds yesterday and a set was around $600 - $650? I theeenk... That was 120/70 plus 180/55...
