Title: Tires...again... Post by: orangelion03 on February 04, 2010, 02:11:16 PM I am currently using Michelin PP2CTs on my S2R8. I would like to find a tire that lasts longer than 3000 miles and am willing to sacrifice some grip in exchange for more mileage. Any suggestions?
Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: hankthe8th on February 04, 2010, 02:25:37 PM Easy, Michelin PR2CT. I'm on my first set, so I can't really give you a gauge on mileage. But I'm loving them so far.
Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: arai_speed on February 04, 2010, 02:52:54 PM I'm using the old-skool PR (the non-2CT) version and I have 1000 miles on them with very little signs of wear.
I've found that for canyon riding the Pilot Roads provide plenty of grip. I'm not out there dragging knee and Icon thinks I ride like a grandma after church but I haven't had any issues on them thus far. Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: psycledelic on February 04, 2010, 05:52:00 PM I am on my third set of the Pilot Roads (2 sets of the PR's and currently the PR2CT's) on my S2R800 and will stay with them on the next set. I got about 7500 miles on the first set and a little over 7 on the second. I have right at 6000 on these dual compounds and will probably end up with a couple thousand more. I have no issues with their traction whatsoever. I would have to think their performance falls a good deal short of the Powers, but I don't need the extra stick and the added mileage = less money for tires and more money for other crap I don't need for my bike. I would recommend them.

5000+ miles on the rear tire and by the looks of it I should get another couple of thousand miles out of it. Title: Re: Tires...again...

But I'm loving them so far. nail on the head. the pilot road 2ct's are incredible. expensive, but worth every penny. Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: orangelion03 on February 05, 2010, 05:00:40 AM Thanks for the input folks!!
Looks like Pilot Road 2 is it. My front should be about ready to replace when the current rear wears out, so I will be buying a set. Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: causeofkaos on February 05, 2010, 07:56:22 AM i got 1600 on my BT016, wore them out on the sides not the center, just street no track.
Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: herm on February 05, 2010, 07:58:04 AM another vote for the pilot road 2ct. over 5k on my current set.

The 016's dont last as long as the 2CT's ? Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: somegirl on February 05, 2010, 08:10:30 AM I got about 12k on my Pilot Road 2's. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: He Man on February 05, 2010, 08:23:38 AM i got well over 5k on my pr2, got alot left.
Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: orangelion03 on February 05, 2010, 09:57:35 AM ...expensive, but worth every penny. Based on what I see of online pricing, they run about 20% more than the PP2CTs, but if they yield double the mileage, the exra cost is well worth it. Title: Re: Tires...again... Post by: skxf430 on February 09, 2010, 08:55:29 PM How about the Michelin Power Pure.

Post by: Africaboy on February 10, 2010, 05:28:16 AM I got Michelin Road 2's at the end of the summer. The actual tread depth is deeper than any tire I've seen before. They are OK when cranked over, but slick as hell when straight. Seems like I spin the tire on every other pull away. But if its last long, I'll probably get them again.

What are you running for pressure? |
