    Default Pilot Power 2CT

    I have tried quite a few tires from stock up and I must say that the best all around tire is the Pilot Power 2CT

    I have been to the track on them and couldn't have been happier, I have some good pics of me leaning pretty good on them

    On the street they warm up quick, stick and never let down whether it's a canyon day or a straight (boring) commute

    I would say their only problem is they aren't as good as I would like in the rain. They stick pretty well but i would compare them in the rain to a stock tire on warm roads, they work and get the job done but I don't prefer them

    The 2CT is a 2 compound tire with medium compound down the middle where the most wear happens, and a soft compound on the edges giving you that extra grip when leaning

    A+ Pilot Power 2CT

    I've heard awesome things about these, haven't gotten around to trying them. When the Michelin rep gives me a hat to replace my Pirelli hat, then maybe I'll switch.

    Only thing I think that's better about the Corsa III is that the softer rubber compound on those runs further up towards the center, the PP's soft compound is only 10% of the tread on each side, most street riders never touch that section of the tire.

    Just be careful running the 2ct's at the track when the ambient temperature is above 80 degrees. These tires are great in the rain and when it's not hot out.

    I've got them on my track R6 and love them as well. Since they come in a 190/55 now, i will be adding them to my Duc since i wasted my Pilot Power Races already. These tires inspire a lot of confidence.

    Well I don't see the problem with a recall, I changed it, cost me nothing and now I know that my tire is safe...
