Title: Anyone have a Pilot Power in the front and a PR2 or PR3 in the rear. Post by: K3V1N on April 09, 2012, 05:45:17 AM I'm pretty sure this is what I want to do on my S2R but I was hoping to get some feedback from other people riding the same setup.

Post by: Slide Panda on April 09, 2012, 06:47:56 AM It's not uncommon for folks to mix n match from the same manufacturer with putting a softer tire up front and harder in back. Sport and sport tour combo. AFAIK as long as you stick to the same manufacturer and one step away in the product family i.e. Race->Super Sport->Street Sport->Sport tour->Tour->Big Fatty Cruiser you should be fine.

Post by: scooterd145 on April 10, 2012, 08:20:28 AM I recently (500 miles) put a PP 2ct front / Pilot Road 2 rear combo on my 1100s. I switched away from Bridgestones (f BT016/ r BT023). Feels REALLY good so far. I like the combo and would be considered a "spirited" rider. I have put 14.5k miles on my bike in 16 months and work from home so no commuting but really wear rear tires. I get about 3K out of an 016 and 5k out of an 023. Hoping for at least that out of the PR2.

Title: Re: Anyone have a Pilot Power in the front and a PR2 or PR3 in the rear. Post by: Gimpy on April 15, 2012, 08:38:37 AM I'm running a Pilot Power in the front and a Pilot Road 2 in the rear. Only because the last front lasted 5k longer than the last rear, which lasted to almost 10K. (awesome) So I thought I would try a PP for the next 5k till both tires need a replacement. The different carcase shape changes the way the bike turns. Seems a little gentler turn in. In a good way. Others have described my bike as a little "divey in the corners" So I think I need to adjust the steering geometry.
I have never run out of grip even on the pilot roads so I can't give much experience there, but I'm really digging the way the bike turns in now. |
