okayyyy lets see here...

i need some info on the Pirelli's. who's running them?

i was pretty set on getting myself some new 2 CT's here within the next week or so. But the Pirellis interested me as well.

any info to sway my opionion would be great! i can pick each set up for $250 per set so either way im getting a deal

thanks guys and sorry for ANOTHER tire thread!

I will be doing regular commuting back and forth to work and your typical weekend HARD weekend rides and a few track days this season.

Need some more info as to why they are better than the Pirelli's

Alex Gold

2CT much better in the cold and wet

Ok,....pirellis slide a LOT when cold, they also give suddenly rather than sliding progressively.

thanks for that. i do need something that does a little better in the cold i suppose since i do live in Michigan after all.

im pretty open minded with this. just want to see what people have to say.

Pirellis are awesome on the right day, I got my exhaust down on track at Silverstone and had no moments at all. After a number of pant-wetting moments on road paint/cold roads/greasy roads etc etc I gave up on them for the street though. YMMV.

I guess i should have been more specific on wht im going to be doing with them.

Thanks for your info Alex

I was gonna switch to the 2ct's after my Pilots wore down but I just HAD to have a set of the Conti Road Attacks cuz I like the tread pattern & I got them for $207 shipped. Since they were comparable I didn't feel like I was stepping down. I def need a dual compound with all the slab riding. I'll see how the Conti's do this year. If I don't like them i'll go with the 2ct's next year. I'm not a hard rider until the twisties so I got 9k outta my Powers.

ive had my rosso 2's on my zx6r j2 and never had a problem with them sliping etc only wen i peposly try and snake it wen setting of, they dont take long to warm up so id advise them but never tried the the 2CT'S

just to throw this in to the mix what about the Dunlop q2's i just installed them on my bike and i can say there better than the old batlax's i had on the bike. got some good grip while cold too. I've hear the act wear really fast and a buddy of mine has the corsa 3's on his bike and hates them. He would rather have back his batlax's.

I started reading reviews and am leaning more toward rosso corsa's. Plus i like the tread pattern better.

I found these controlled test tire comparisons as well.

2CTs !

The Pirelli Rossa Corsa is awesome in the dry but pretty poor in the wet..
