I currently run a Michelin "Pilot Road" on the rear and feel confident with each outing...

I have the Pilot Power 2 CT thats the 2 compound, and feel very secure with them, even better then the prvious standard PP, the 2ct have softer sides and harder down the middle.

Im also on 2CT's, best tyre I ever had. Got 4000k out of first set, thats alright for me, got 5000 from Pilot Powers, but I put less mileage down to more confidence of grip.

HPX on the rear was stickeyer than the power on the rear . Fattbussa had a power on rear and didnt really get stickey a power up front feels better than a HPX turns in quicker better feel .

I currently have a pilot power on the rear. Iam looking into either the HPX (200) or the 2 compond pilot power?? I like the pilot power. But i need somthing that will last abit longer in the middle. But yet sticky enough on the edges.

Hi guys

I just got my bike and it has the pilot powers on it. I've had them on other bikes and they've been good so far.

However, I looked at mine and they're made in spain. WTF?!! Are they the new Taiwan/Mexico?

Hi All

I changed from Bridgestone to HPX on the front and at 60kph felt a pogo effect which smoothed out as speed increased. But as 60 is the in town speed limit, this pogo-ing didn't feel right. I got it swapped for another HPX and no problems. In short, I enjoyed the HPX on the front. A new problem has arisen. Just put 2 new HPX's on (front and rear) and what do I find? Bloody pogo-ing at 60k again. I wonder if it was an out of balance batch and has anyone else had a similar experience.
