Tyres?
 
Get over the euro title, it was just to get your attention...

Well I plum wore the tread off my street pilot powers. I had my suspension reworked today and wheeler took it for a test spin and he said it handled like a dump truck. I agreed, the front is just gone on it. Surprisingly the rear had some life left in it. Too many miles riding to work on super slab. So here is what I am looking. Which way would you go out of my choices, I will list my pro/cons?

1. A new set of pilot powers (pro: Good tire, I like it in all conditions, con: wear wasn't the greatest for my riding not at the gap)

2. Run my track corsa IIIs that have a couple track days and not worn too much and try out 2CTs for my next track day (pro: great tire for gap trips, con: hate it in the cold/rain and unknown wear on the super slab for around town, will miss track days it still has left in it)

3. Try something else (roads, road^2s, the replacement for the corsa, or other, would really like to find something similar to the road^2s without the cost) (pro: unknown, con: cost)

Well,you could try the Rossos... then let me know what you think... Otherwise, you could check out what all the hype around the Contis is about..

Try the Road CT2's... they're supposidly the same compound as the Powers on the sides... and a harder compound in the center for longer wear... sounds like the perfect tire for your commuting and gap riding...

depending on how the Diablo Strada's I have work on my trip... they (the Road CT2's) may be my next tire.... err tyre

You can get at least 5k miles out of the PP rear. Use that time to save up for another rear, the front'll still be fine.

I am looking at getting the Pirelli Stradas when I have the money/need to this summer. Supposed to get better grip than the PR, but 2ct.

I already got about that on it and down to the wear bars on both, the front is worse though.

yeah those are the corsa replacments, only thing that worries me about those is that they are true slicks on the side and wouldn't be the best street tire especially if you get caught in the rain.

The Avons look interesting, I may have to research the wear on these.

I thought they go about the same distance to the edge...besides,when I get caught in the rain I never take any farther to the side than I have too! Here's the link http://www.us.pirelli.com/web/catalo...IABLOROSSO.xml
