Dual Compund Tyres

[Volvi]

Thanx Volvi,
Interesting that you say the dual comps will not last as long as single comps (or did I misunderstand?). I thought that was a purpose of dual comps (that is... harder in the centre for increased longevity) or am I showing my inexperience!

Pre release it was understood that the centre would be harder, but after some months after release it had become known the centre is the same compound as previous model only the sides were softer. My last PP rear lasted about 11k, I see the current PP2ct on rear lasting less. If one were a track user I can see the added benefit for softer sides but ordianary road use the previous model was excellent and never stepped out. So buyers choice whether to pay the extra 50 for rear.

Tyre technology have surged in the last few years compared to 10 yrs prior to that, meaning there are many excellent tyres on the market these days, just a question of application and what your needs are.
