Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

Need new tyres for the 690 and seeing as cotters are doing a special on michelins this month, ive narrowed it down to these two. Anyone have any experience of the 2 of these? 2ct's are an extra 50 euro a set? Are they worth it?:unsure2::wassat:

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

The 2CT are made from 2 compounds. They have a harder compound in the centre and softer on the edges... yes they're worth it. (in my opinion)

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

they have the 2ct compound on the side and a harder in the middle they claim to be getting 8000+ off the rears, and 10,000+ off the fronts and deadly in rain

Yup - about 5k to a rear on the TLS, about 8k to a front.

I've worked through about 3 pairs of them to date - great tyre! :thumbsup2:

I wouldn't bother with 2ct having had both. Centre is the same, side is softer on 2ct. For the road there is no noticeable difference. Have the standard ones on 950 now as wasn't arsed paying the extra

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

8000 miles :rolleyes2: maybe on something light like an SV650. I get about 4K out of mine on the Rex. Going to put a set on the KTM, luckily I have a tire changer so I don't have to worry about a dealer scratching the rims, I can do that all by myself :lbhbh:,
I like them :thumbsup2:

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

Had the 2 cts on a vfr 3k out of the back 4k out the front, heavy bike though
Mighty tires though

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

I've got the power pures on mine already got more miles than I've ever seen from a bridgestone and there's loads left plus grip is good but take a bit to warm up, even then tho I can get the rear to spin but you feel in control

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

2500 miles on the back of a Hornet 600 , great tyres

2CT's are good but a little over 3k miles to a rear at best, probably quite variable over different bikes / riding styles tho :thumbsup2:

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

2CT's are a great tyre but only good for 2000 miles at best:thumbsup2:

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
 

So anywhere between 2k and 10k!!
