Buddah what kind of milages are you getting on the powers? They are only 50 more for the set than 2ct's but is it worth it? I have to ride way too much highway out here in texas between twisties. but i would sacrifice some life for more confident tires on the curves.
 
I have almost 2000 km on the new rear and I ride a fair bit of highway and love, LOVE to tear up the twisties every chance I can (daily..lol) and it is wearing really nice!

here is the vid that sold me on what what work for me...




"shipped to your door!"

LOL
 
Shinkos 009 Raven front and back. They cheap as hell and great for every day use. If you don't plan on doing track days it's the way to go.
 
i live in North dakota and rode my pirelli scorpion syncs in 37 degree and raind they did excellent, they seem to warm up and get good traction fast, im not sure if they will last long though, i do plenty of gravel and shitty roads here too, so far they have been 1000times better then the crap dunlops from the factory
 
Nuage420, if you do alot of hwy riding go with the Pilot Road 2ct. I have a little 4000 miles on my current set and they look like they've barely been on for 500. The bike does see the twisties every now and then and these tires are also sticky on the sides. I am hoping to get 8-9k out of this set.
 
I just got a new set of pirelli diablo rosso's. I wanted to get 2ct's but they were back ordered 3 weeks at the shop and i didn't want to wait that long!
 
I'm in the market for some new tires as well. Only got about 4000 on the stock Corsa IIIs.

Anyone have any experience with the Michelin Pilot Road 2ct? Just wondering how they compare to the Pilot Power 2ct. Thanks.

Having looked at the Michelin site i'm now wondering the same!

Anybody?
 
Lando since the last tire was run bald. I think you'de be best served with a sport/touring tire.
 
ok, what is that suposed to mean? that im cheap? haha... anyway, here's a link to some good prices if anyone is interested.

i'm debating between either the power street 2ct, pilot power 2ct or the power pure 2ct.

And i promise i will not let these get down to the cords, it just snuk up on me....one day i was fine (bald but fine), the next i had cords showing!
 
I have a set of Michelin Pilot Road 2CT on my bike now. Read my previous posts in this thread for my review of them.
 
starting with the scorpions i went to the corsa3 and wow what a difference they were sticky within 15min of putting them on... my bro has tomahawks which are super sticky and for 150 front and rear i might give them a try
 
I just picked up a pair of fullbore tires went with a 200 rear have not put them on yet but I got 9k on the stock pirreli. let ya know how they are when I get them mounted. I looked at the tomahocks but they are recaps I wouldnt use them on my truck never mind a bike.
 
i hear ya cherry after a few days of riding his bike i like the stickiness but i dont really like how the tire looks it like all choppy looking i dont trust it so im staying the the corsa3 or the new rosso
 
So, I went with the Pilot Road 2ct and put about 300 miles on them. So far they feel great on the twisties, although on highway I get alot more headshake under full throttle. Mabey i have the preasure too high or it might just be the curvature of the tire being new and not flat like the bald one.

What presures are you guys running on the michelins?
