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?

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

I've worked through about 3 pairs of them to date - great tyre! To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.

Re: Difference between pilot power and pilot power 2ct
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
To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater. 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 To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater. , I like them To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater.

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