MICHELIN PILOT POWERS 2CT
« on: March 25, 2006, 07:13:20 PM »
bought some pilot powers 2CT for my ZX6R J2 today the best tyres i ever put on the bike

ive had DIABLOS and THE CORSA VERSION also ran bridgestone 014 but the powers are awesome

they have a high pointed profile which took a couple miles to get used to they tend to fall into corners it certaintly steers quicker and holds the line better than the 014

done about 70 miles road riding in dry /damp conditions no problem to the edge of the tyre and shìt loads of grip

the CT version has a dual compound soft edge harder center so it will be interesting to see what mileage i get out of them 

got them  here   http://www.micheldever.co.uk/       £192 loose wheel

i only get about 3k out of my rears the 014 squared of badly the diablos not to bad im a hand fisted git with throttle and like wheelies

for the grip that these powers give even in the wet today i dont reckon i will get 5k even if they are dual compounds

to be honest i would not give a fook if i got 2k out of them they are excellent so far!

havent been out in teh thick of it yet but never had a single twitch out of them even in damp condition,
was always spinning the back wheel with the diablo corsa's

I Highly Recommend the Pilot Powers 2CT's
