Product Description
Pilot® Power 2CT tires add two-compound technology to the already renowned Pilot® Power range. While 2CT technology originated in MotoGP racing, Pilot® Power 2CT tires are intended for the most demanding sportbike riders, who use their bikes both on the road and for track days. Its tread surface is divided into three separate areas, incorporating two different rubber compounds. This helps provide numerous benefits in terms of dry grip, lean angle, handling and progressive acceleration and braking on wet surfaces.

So I received tires about 1 year in warehouse. I'm totally ok with that. They'll only live another 2 years tops.
I've been tracking personal mileage on various tires since 1993 (Metzeler, bridgestone Battleax, Pirelli Diablo, and lots of Dunlop). Used on various 600 Ninja Models, and now the Ducati 848 Evo. Hundreds of thousands of miles logged. This tire, Michelin Pilot Power 2CT (front and rear), is the best combo I've come up with so far. I ride about 250 days/year. Lots of highway. No racetrack for the current bike. Just all around aggressive street riding. Keep in mind, these are all high performance tires, so when I say best so far, the margins are slim; they're all pretty good, but comparatively speaking I think these are the best.
My criteria are mileage, performance when I need it (cornering on streets/highways) without having to think if I can make it, softness without having to achieve high temperatures, braking/take-off grip, roundness shape retention and pressure retention. All around the best hybrid tire not exclusively for high mileage, or exclusively for track performance.
Tires were received unboxed, with label taped around rubber. Manufacturers barcode sticker was present on the bead, or whatever it's called. I hope you guys find these data points helpful. In my experience, getting up to 10,000 miles on a sportbike tire is insane. I plan to stick with these for a long time to come.
I've taken these to the track. Yeah, yeah, they say 2CT, two compound, sure. But if you are a serious racer these don't cut it. They get to hot and slick. If you are midpack, C-group for track days they are perfect. Don't use them if you are leading in A group.
1. Grip is predictable
2. Turn ins are slower than expected
3. Absorbs road issues well
4. Heat up time is good
5. As everyone says - Keep your tire pressure in check!.
Overall satisfied for its purpose. Better than most, just not enough for my needs yet.
Note: those who say they do track days on this tire and are satisfied are on lightweight low powered bikes like 600cc. This tire is ok for slower riders but sketchy under heavy braking for bigger cc bikes. the wear factor was impressive, no bubbling but not the best tire for quick transitions and bumpy surfaces under braking. The braking will improve slowly but definitely not track tire confidence. Lean factor was predictable, to include trail braking (surprised me) but turns slower than most track tires........ Actually surprised it did as well as it did, so it will work for track-days if you are smooth and the track is decent.
Shipping:
Extremely fast shipping
Price - really impressed with that!!!
The only reason for 4 stars is that I don't have the confidence I have had with other tires on the street.... maybe some more time with it may convince me otherwise. GSXR 1000 is not a weak bike and does require the confidence for assertive riding on the road.
Would recommend this for daily commuters that like corners, for the more aggressive few - take it up a notch! (wear factor will suffer accordingly)
I had shopped around quite a bit, and arrived at the Pilot Power 2CT as a good compromise between street-friendly , performance, durability, etc. My bike doesn't see the track, and is usually used around town, or for commuting, but I like to ride through the twisties as well.
Took my bike down to a local shop that would install the tires, got them tossed on and... what a difference. The bike sticks to the road, it corners better, it turns in quicker. It tracks better, it's more accurate through the turns, everything. They were even better than the previous tires ever were (Continental Road Attacks, for reference).
The bike shop warned me multiple times that "new tires are slick"; so I took it pretty easy for the first ~20 miles, and started to get used to the tires. I haven't been super aggressive with them yet (most people seem to recommend ~100 miles but, regardless it's a hotly disputed topic) .
I can confidently say that these (I bought the front and rear) were an excellent purchase, some of the other "issues" (stuff I would have guessed was suspension issues) with my bike vanished, and it behaves like it's supposed to. When I replace these I'll update with the mileage I got out of them.
My bike is a 2005 Suzuki SV650 (with ~20k miles)
