Don't know. Great life span, great grip. They heat up quickly. I've never made them slip, but have made Pilot Power 2CTs step out. Best of all they're fairly inexpensive.
I might go with Road 2CTs, but odds are I'll get Connies again. They work, so I don't see much reason to change.

I could only manage about 5K out of my 2 CTs. On the Gen II I'd probably get 4K.
Great tire. I had about 6 rears and 2 fronts...

I was wondering the same thing, Neo. Conti Road Attacks get great reviews, and I've been considering either them, or possibly Dunlop Qualifiers. From what I surmise, the Dunlops may grip better, but wont last as long, but Im not certain of that. Anybody try the Dun's, and if so, whadda ya think of 'em?
???

I am loving my Dunlop Roadsmarts 
There are many choices when it comes to tires. You must first decide what you want from your tire. You cannot have great grip and long mileage in the same tire, it does not exist. You choose one or the other or something in between.
If you want high performance grip, my favorites are Dunlop Qualifier (A hard tire to beat in the high performance street tire) and Bridgestone BTO 16 (Great performance, last slightly longer than the Q and it's less money.
For a good middle of the road set up that will give you good mileage and good grip, I'd suggest a Bridgestone BTO 16 on the front and a BTO 21 on the rear. I'm going with this set up on my busa when the current tires are polished off.
