Where'd you get them at? I need to get a set of 190/55 and 120/70. Lowest I've found is 300 shipped.

just be easy on them in the wet and cold, they don't heat up quick. I don't use em on the street, just track.

i always ride easy in the rain, and they'll be used up by the time it gets cold again.

what type of warm up time are we talking about? anything that will pose a problem? i know PP's claim hey have the fastest warming compound, but honestly is it that big a difference?

There is a very big difference. My powers perform after 2-3 turns compared to a lap or more on the corsas. I will probably try the 2ct's next. The corsas are badass in dry warm conditions though.

I am going to keep just getting regular pp's for the street. I can't reach their peak performance and they are cheaper and last longer than 2cts or corsa IIIs.

agreed. I had no qualms w/ the PP's last year, and riding doesnt get any more agressive than that on a street.

Im hopeing to do a track day soon after deals gap though, so i figured i'd just step it up before hand. they're built for street riding, so we'll see how they do.
