Just got my new pilot road 2ct's put on my bike, the difference is awesome! After picking my bike up I did about 60 miles through some great twisty roads in the mountains...the feel was night and day, grip was phenomenal!
Here's what I have left of my chicken strips...

Holy crap Miami! Edge to edge in only 60 miles? I'd be afraid of them being greasy still!

I didn't think I would really get into them right away...but as I got going they just felt like they were glued to the road!
This is a 13 miles scenic loop just a few minutes from my house...it's what I rode today a few times after getting my bike back. Can't post a pic of it directly to the post, so here's a link:

I just put a set of those tires on my XB12Ss. Supposed to have twice the life of the Diablos too. Went through 2 rear Diablos in less than 8K miles.
My chicken strip will never get that small. :D

That's what I'm hoping for...only got 5k from the stock diablo's, have heard of people getting 12-13k from the road 2ct's. Riding 60 miles a day on the freeways I need something that'll hold up better in the center!

I have about 4k on my road 2's and they still look great. they look like my powers did with 1k on them, and my powers were dead by 4k
road 2's can be had for about 270 a set a bit cheaper at Jake Wilson with jw009 promo code.
