PP 2CT great tire/tyre. even sticks when wet

sexy08zx6r · 04-24-2011, 05:24 PM

Michelin Pilot Power 2ct!!!! I've had conti attacks and bridgestone bt's but the michelin's are way better in my opinion. The heat up fast, wear evenly, and grip great wet or dry. I live in the mtns of northeast tennessee and ride some great twisties. I think they have great feedback myself, riding switchbacks up and down the mtns i slide the front and rear tire a lot and i can fell everything thats going on with the bike. The softer rubber on the outside of the tire definately helps!!! But if you have "chicken strips" on ur tires no need in dishing out the cash for 2ct...

The Powers are a more race compound than the road 2ct so should have better feel. tbh, part of the lack of feedback I noticed was probs due to the bike, an FZ1s with shock upgrade. Only slides I managed were on wet roads and were more of a drifting sensation than full on slide.
Top tyres in either form.
Mate love Roadsmarts but I think Duloops always loose their shape quick and then handle strange.

Where in Orange County are you. Been there a few times in the past, great fishing for bass and bluegill, shame I only had a hire car so missed out out on enjoying the roads.

Tire pressures are a must especially when it's wet. Many years ago as a young racer I would drop the pressure down on the rain tires when racing in the rain. The bile was always slidding around. DUH!!! Lower pressures closed off the channels to push the water away. Higher pressures open the channels. I learned the hard way.

Near Bristol, TN. Yes there is great bass, bluegill, and trout fishing in the area. Some of the best is the US are within a couple of hours from me. Google "the hometrack group on the snake US421"!! This will give you an idea of riding some twisties in the mts of TN and NC.

yea i said pilot power 2ct. i dont know about any road 2ct's, but the power 2ct's are a step up from the original pilot powers because they have 20% softer rubber on the edges. They are equally at home on the track on the road. Ive heard the power pure's are great but havent had a chance to try them yet, maybe next set!
