Pilot Road 2CT
- Thread starter Busa204
- Start date
Futhermore, given Charles law (derived from the ideal gas law) which states;
"At constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature (in Kelvin) increases or decreases."*
could you explain to me why nitrogen is any different than any other gas?
hmnnn....?
cheers

I got my Road2s put on Friday afternoon. Scrubbed 'em in on Saturday and worked 'em hard today.
One thing in particular that I NOTICE is that they are a little friendlier on the road-paint we use here in Cali.
In some instances, the 2CTs had a tendency to slide (or to give that feeling), and I had none of that today.
Not that I drive on the paint all the time, but when you ride as many miles as I do, well, you're bound to get into it once in a while.
I love 'em.

I don't know how you guys were showing thread in less than 4000 miles on 2CT's. I've got over 5000 miles on my set and they aren't even squaring off yet.
Riding around in circles are you?
I'm always amazed how some get more than 4,000 out of a tire.

Not at all. I commute almost 500 miles a week on my Busa. About half of it is backroads through Hill Country Texas, the rest is all highway.

Hello from Germany
The Pilot Road 2 , means second generation of PilotRoad.
Its created as a touring tire to last a bit longer , and has not the ultimate grip as the PP
For the PilotPower 2Ct it means two compounds.
I m ridind also the PP and like most in the german Board i think its the best tire
for the busa , concerning grip-last ratio. Average mileage is about 5-6ooo km
for rear tire what is about 3.500 miles , and two front to one rear tire
But i wonder that you ride PP 2ct on your Busas. In Europe nether Suzuki nor Michelin
"allow" the PP2Ct for the Busa , bacause of the Bike wight.
The 2CT is free for use on Gixxers Kawa10 CBR etc , al supersportlers with "low" wight.
We can only run the PP in "reinforced"?? version with additional "Marks" ??
B and W for front and rear wich is marked on side of tire near DOT
Even on race days , organised by michelin they dont mount the 2Ct on busas , saying they were to
soft (not concerning the Gum but the underkonstruction "karkasse" of the tire.
But maybe thats because of the the german Autobahn were we can legal go fullspeed in some regions for a distance of 50 miles and more. At fullspeed the Autobahn will "eat" the tire quicker you run (a BT56 will be gone in 500miles , the Michelin in 1000miles max.)
For all who dont drive to the max limit on normal streets the PilotRoad will be a great choice with triple the miling as the Bridgestone and a good grip in all conditions .
Here its used by many who go often on hollidays or longer turns with the busa.
Pricing for these tires PP and PR in Germany is about 300€ a set , makes about 450$
Hope i whrote nearly right
and had some usefull informations

"I don't know how you guys were showing thread in less than 4000 miles on 2CT's. I've got over 5000 miles on my set and they aren't even squaring off yet."
The roads here in Florida are brutal, very course. Then mix that in with the heat. That combo eats the tires quickly. I get about 3k out of the PP2ct, maybe a little less...

The Pilot Road 2 have the same 2ct type compound. They actually do say 2CT on the tire. I know it's a slightly harder dual compound than the PP2cts.
So far, I haven't noticed much of a change (which is a good thing). I still seem to have all the same traction I did with the PP2cts. It will be interesting to see how much more life, if any, I can get out of these compared to the PP 2cts.

Your right
The new Road2 also uses two compounds now.
I looked for michelin and the PilotRoad is for heavy Toursportlers
The PP is recomended as a real Sports tire.
For maximum mileage with sport-tires the recomendation is this one.
The HPX has a oficial license in Europe for the Hayabusa by Suzuki , and there are drivers that make over 5.000 with it.http://www.michelin.de/de/front/aff...52837&lang=DE&codeRubrique=5112005121215&ct=1
