Me thinks they dont ride hard into corners or like a sports bike - you can cruise on a busa and get a shit load of ks on a tire if you try but I ride hard all the time and are a twisties guy so 5-6k is a good set for me. I dont like the pilot road as they are geared towards teh tourer not the squirter and dont have anywhere near the grip the P2Cs have and are a flatter profile. If you are a tourer PR great, if you are a sports rider twisties guy then go the P2C

Getting 11 out of the front! Doing what? Drag racing all day long using gears to slow down?
Just giving cheek. I've found being smooth on the throttle and progressive braking really makes a difference. I've been riding with people who kill tires far quicker than me and yet are far slower than me through the twisties or out of and into the lights. Then again, I have no chicken strips left, maybe I'm just spreading it over the tire I seem to run into a lot of 'busa riders who forget that bikes can corner too.
But yes, the 2CT seem to last forever while still giving good cornering ability in most conditions.
