I just ordered a set of Power 2CTs for the FZ1.

$200 shipped.

Use the code jw009 for $20 off.

Thats a killer deal.

Thank gawd. Crazy man.

Sweet

Considering the rear is a 190.

Those things are 'spensive.

My front was walking out the whole way home.

It was fun.

Good deal, I just mounted a set on the priller so I should be good for the season with them.

Yep that was were I got mine from, I went to bumo the link and u found it

Is that why you took the interstate instead of 360?

Yes.

And I had to piss really bad, so I did it at the Hardee's in Tellico Plains.

But yeah, comin' down 68, the front would be like slip-grab-slip-grab.

O well, that will be fixed soon.

Who do you have mount your tires?

Vern

I have a Harbor freight changer, but haven't bought the mojo stuff yet.

Oh.

Whats mojo?

Edit: nevermind, found it.

That guy is insane for wanting 100 bux for that.

I want the blocks.

I wonder how much some Nylon block is... You know that would be easy as shit to make with a jigsaw.

I couldn't do it. I need to figure out what to do about the bar, they all want $100 for that stupid bar.

how longs that code good for, im gonna buy some new tires on friday.

Still good.

I have access to a bar with nylon on it.

Well we can put it together and you can use it if you want. I don't have a balancer yet either. I need to go get one from harbor freight.

Someone on ETR was selling just the changer that they bought and didn't use and it was still in the box. I got it for cheap.

yeahhhh. Poop.

you can always just pm flying2low on etr, he does it for $10 a wheel.

Oh, thats a good price.

I'll do that.

fucking right. thx kyle.

What'd ya get?

2ct's

180/55/17
120/70/17

. ur rear prolly cost a bit more.

Damn. Thats a great price.

yea my thoughts exactly. i wasnt planning on getting michelins, but TBH i loved my orriginal pilot powers and these can only be better. bridgestone can wait.

they even shipped today too, tits.

I loved my PP's too. I need a rear...but shit, at that price I should just get a set of Michelins and ditch my front Diablo.

I liked the original PPs better, the 2CT has a weird transition from compounds.

The carcass has been updated since they came out a few years back, the profile is almost identical to PP's. I just love their turn in, those fuckers just love to dive.

The mojo blocks ftw also I posted the mod for the bar back in the day. I used duct tape on the removal end with shampoo bottle plastic under it and a piece of shampoo bottle plastic zip tied to the mount side works great! Zero scratches and zero cost.

Oh and use the 20% coupon in SR to get the balancer for about $30.

im sold on the PP, thats the tire of choice for me

I'll post a pic of my tire when I get home

I have the 2CT's on the 6r they did great during the rally...they get super sticky and the turn in is great...I think there a great tire

Have you tried them on the Buell yet? Twitchy as hell when you first throw them on, especially compared to the Corsa's.
Fine on a track, a bit touchy on a 300 mile tour.

Thinking I'm going Road 2's next. After getting home and checking the odometer, I find that I really only have 3K on them, and 2K MAX left.
With living in ND and the commuting I do, I need a bit more life out of a tire.

Are yall talking about the Pilot Power 2CT or the Pilot Pure 2CT??? I have the Pure on the front and im getting ready to buy the rear in the next week. But that front tire was sticky as shit. I would stick my finger on the tire and it felt like there was Gum stuck to it after a lap through blood mountain friday. Its got some crazy sticky on the outsides of that tire. I could feel that thing hugging the road like crazy. I highly recommend the Pilot Pure 2CT's


This is the Pilot Pure on the top and the Pilot Power on the bottom You have to look at the Percentages to really see the difference. Also the tread on the Pure is 5% less than the Power giving you more open spaces and less tread giving a better grip in the turns.

But if you want something thats really almost race ready but still road legal you need some Pilot One's Only down fall is if your a distance rider of highway rider they wont last long. They are single compound.

Full Throttle...is the Pilot Pure 2ct the same profile as the Pilot Power 2ct? Looks like it, but can't really tell. Michelin took a step backwards IMO on the Power One...Granted it is stickier than before and suppose to last longer, but the tire is not as triangular as the Power Race. Now instead of turning in sharp, they ride like BT003s with a higher price tag.

I got over 4k miles on my Corsa III.

Those are excellent tires.

Agreed, and now the powers are even cheaper so thats a win win for me. been using em for track duty for a few yrs now and no issues (granted i am slow but its cheaper that way LOL ) I will throw a se tof takeoffs on the buell if i ever kill the pirellis and se ehow they are. I had them on the aprilia and my track bikes and maybe my TL but down tremember back to what was on there last.

True. I think I like the PP better. But I'm in desperate need of a rear at this point. I've worn a killer flat spot in it and it's become a beast to turn.

Yup, i'm going on 5k miles w/ my corsas, and a couple track days (more like 1 1/2 really). yikes.

yeah, and 1k of that is back and forth from in front of your house to the shed where you store it! :lol:

I know there were guys on badwed that got 6-7k out of them. I got 6 out of the front, but with 1 td and 3k i was really pushing it myself.

Nah son. Shed to house is like 10 paces, at best. Most are back and forth to work...4 miles at a time.

Yea i believe they are. Its supposed to be the same exact tire as the Pilot just with different compound ratios. But all i know is that the front performed wonderfully. Like i said earlier it felt like there was gum stuck to my tires when i got off the bike at the bottom of the mountain. I recommend them to the max. Ill be getting the rear in 2 weeks or so i doubt ill be disappointed with it.
