I am on the tread wear indicators at 4000 & belts at 5000
I just put a 2ct on the rear & a pure on the front and IMHO they remind me of the old pirelli corsa which I put in the Poo category.
Why you might ask
I have to move my upper body more to keep a tight line.
Hard to find a smooth line in tight twisties (a lot of wallowing)
The grip is less than ordinary especially in light rain.
They find every track/rut in the road & follow it.
They have a hesitation at upright when changing directions
When turning corners the Bars get heavy & try to turn the direction you are going which I started getting after 200km and this is normally my indicator of the front tyre going off.
I will be going back to Avons before winter although I have noticed the Ultra II Rear tends to let go easier than the Original
Anyone thinking of 2CTs may i suggest to read a few reviews before making a decision (I wish I did)
This is just my opinion & is not meant to ruffle any feathers so it
Isn't it Ironic that my Favourite Stretch of Tarmac is called C.O.P.
