I am needing to replace the Pirelli Scorpion Syncs and am needing a good choice replacement. I run Metz and Michelins on my other bikes but like the tires that came on my tt. Any advice on a set. Don't do track days, basically riding to work and running the curves of sc,ga and nc. I know my options are vast, just need some great clips good advice from some that's been there and know.

What eBay store did you use? What made you buy from them and not another company?

Pilot Road 2's (or 3's) would be a MUCH better choice. Plenty of grip and 2x the life of a Power 2CT.
I LOVE mine and it'll be really hard for me to try anything else because these just work SO well.

GAXB9R,
Just did a search for "set' of Michelin Pilot Power 2ct and one had perfect feedback and 230 with free shipping. no one else was close. They had 9 sets before my buy it now. As for another company, most charge shipping but I use ebay a lot selling and buying. It was - rtvtires with a ( 2046) feedback @100percent

The only thing I would worry about is the dates on the tires, I contacted a few "sellers" on Ebay and ALL their tires where at least 3 years old......some older!

These are 2011 tires per the sidewall. I am good wit that but thanks for the input. I never knew tires were date coded.
