.... are the absolute dogs borrocks.

Just had a pair fitted tonight. Having ran dunlop sportmax D208 and pirelli diablo corsa III's recently, I dunno why I bothered. The 2CT's are amazing! DCIII's are very good I might add, dunlops suck, but I'm amazed at the change the 2CT's have made to the bike (R1). Head and shoulders above any other road tyre I've tried, I won't entertain the dragon super corsas or whatever they're called as I'll destroy them in no time.

Oh and for anyone in the north east I not only got a great deal on the tyres, but found a top notch mobile fitter by the name of paul whose number I would be more than happy to pass, top bloke, came out at very short notice, arrived at 7pm-ish to fit my new rubber having picked them up for me from westgate rd earlier and charged me next to fook all to fit them having travelled from blyth to durham to do so.

That is all smile

I know Paul from Blyth Stu.

New tyres on a bike allways feel great. Get yourself out this weekend Stu.

Totally agree. Got corsa 3's on at the mo...not a scratch on the 2ct's. Probably th only tyre I'll buy in the future.

Only downside to the 2CT's is when you find the limit on them its usually too late. I'm not a huge fan of the Bt014's but what they did do was let you know when they were nearing the limit.

here is me on track with 2CT's

Ooops!
Had similar happen in Cartegena, but was a big sweeping bend. Was concentrating so hard on getting my knee dug into the tarmac, just got carried away. Anyway the rear spun and slipped for a second or two, but kinda sorted itself out (even though I closed slightly!) and I carried on with no worries.

I have heard a lot of good reports on the Avon Viper's. Any comments on these?

Profile is good on the 2CT's, bike feels better at low speeds. CorsaIII's, Rossos' etc don't have such an good profile so take more to turn in.

I wouldn't normally ask but I've just added bike tyres to the tyre site and it would be really useful if some of you could add any comments / experiences you've had with various rubber as I've limited to the Dragon supercorsas on my 675 so far (which are the dogs).

Even if you don't rate the tyres any text would be really useful.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks

Yea, I'll be out Stu, usually around 11am.

If you're out, give me a ring, or do the PM thing.

I'll throw some reviews down for you tomorrow Jon of the tyres I've murdered in the last few months, it's something I tend to keep mental notes of as I'm sure most of us do smile
