they should grab 100x better than the tires that came on the bike.. and those tires are bad ass.. take like 2 or 3 turns more to heat up compared to the regular PP but other then that as most have said give them hell.. they are the next set of tires i'm getting on my gsxr 1k

How does the road ct2 compare to the pp in stickiness and turn-in profile/shape? I need another back tire and I'm going to dump the pp2ct for one of these... I burn through them quickly and the high profile doesn't grip well enough for the bumps/sand on the streets (2ct has less surface area while leaning then reg pp).

Your being a puss



Less then 200 miles on that tire, 2cts will do WAY more then you think they will.

I've got others where I am dragging body work. The grip those have is ridiculous.

I think when you make it to 90+ degrees its all about how you bike is going to hold up skidding down the road. I really really really hope that was a joke.

Hummm, I've got something wrong then... I nearly highsided the other day when the back end broke while in a lean... and the angle, position, and power seemed right... maybe just some sand or something slick on the road

No, I wasn't joking, I'm completely serious. A friend of mine took a picture with his cell phone. I measure the angle on the computer monitor with a protractor...92 degrees!!! I know...I'm pretty bad...
