| Pit Crew  Joined: Jan 2010 From: Milwaukie, Or | Standard Pilot Power vs. 2CT question So, I know the 2CT is a dual compound tire. My question is, are the sides softer than the standard Power or, is the middle harder on the 2CT? For my riding, I would like to see that the 2CT had the same side grip (which is fine for my level) and a harder compound in the middle for increased tire life but, I question whether this is the case. Thanks |

| Pit Crew Joined: Jan 2010 From: Milwaukie, Or | Thanks, R. W. that is what I wanted to know. It's just that I seem to be getting really good wear out of the 2CTs. For me, I will go back to the standard Power and save a few bucks. |

| Training Wheels  Joined: May 2008 From: Portland I Ride: Yamaha R6 | I've been running the pures and have gotten amazing ware out of them. They do feel a little different than the regular pilot powers; they seem to be happier with more air in them, but maybe thats just me. I also don't seem to feel the transition from the hard to soft compound that I've heard some talk about. But that could just be me not paying enough attention. In any case, I love 'em, they give good grip and I've gotten good ware. |
