tyres

[leeross]

looking for new tyres for my 53 plate cbr600rr, got corsa pro on the now and love them but dont think i get them hot enough for the road? thinking about a couple of trackdays tho this year. just looking for ideas.

2CT's... Bes tyres I've ever had.

[y2blade]

POWER 2CT's on my blade...fantastic tyre

[hornetrider]

I've just got Road Attacks fitted - oodles of grip.

[leeross]

how much are the 2ct's? many mls use getting out them? love the pro's but been told no much good for the road? dont really mind the price as i dont think its worth scrimping on tyres.(put the bike down the road with crappy 1's)

cheers lads

2CT's seem a great choice but the new bridgestone 016's are getting some great reviews to

A set of Pilot Power 2CT's for your bike would be around £210 - £220 fitted.

I've had four sets on my R1 but have changed to Road Pilot 2CT's for longevity reasons only (I do 1,500 miles a month on the R1 and was going through tyres like there was no tomorrow).

I've put a set of Pilot Power 2CT's on my 999S and it's transformed the bike.

Yep. Best tyre I've ever ridden on, very confidence inspiring.

I need to replace my 2CTs again doing about 250 miles a week on the bike

[leeross]

how many mls did they last?

[rsv gone!]

I put the rear on about 4 or so riding months ago. Probably 3000 miles in all. Not too bad for a grippy tyre.

dunlop 208RRs

cheap, grippy as hell. I swear by em

[hiccy]

208RR's stretched to 6k on the back of my Fazer thou, in reality 5k. Road 2CT's are sitting on 7k atm, maybe another 500-1k left. Very square though.

Much better in the wet than the Dunlop ste.

If you're doing a high mileage is it worth trying a slightly less sticky tyre? I'm on Pilot Road 2's which seem to be lasting well (2k mile so far and only look scrubbed in), and have astounding grip in the wet, not going to be as sticky as proper sports rubber at the right temperatures but then again it depends how you're using the bike, if you use it to commute I guess sports tyres never really get warm enough to give max grip anyway so a sports touring tyre could end up with more grip.

I changed from the BT14s to Corsa IIIs and I'm really pleased with them. They don't last as long as the BT14s but there is a significant difference in feel. Of course these are the only two types I've tried on my bike so the usefulness of this input may not be too great

[Johnny]

I'll be going from BT14s to Corsa IIIs i the next week or so, heard nothing but good thinsg about them, and the 2CTs.

Pirelli's always have a calming effect on the handling, IOM TT is a classic example. So if you like your pro's then maybe stick with the brand, as the Diablo family use the same technology. Give the new Rosso's a go, i have them on my Tuono and they are brilliant, £30 cash back till the end of May too!

Dunslip 208RR's fantastic value, good road tyre, very competent track tyre (providing you're not looking for that extra 10th every lap).
Last pair i bought i got for £140.

I'm interested in trying the Rossos to replace std diablos on my cbr600f esp as the rear is nicely squared off and getting closer to the wear indicators.
Assuming they are a direct replacement tyre? i.e. harder than Diablo Corsa IIIs??

Got the 2ct's the day,220 fitted. I'll let use know how i get on with them.Seem mega soft at the edges tho
