Sucks... it does sound like something is up with the tire.

Don't know what you mean by making a scene. But if all the shops have to wait 5weeks, no sizable tantrum will speed up that process.

For what it's worth did you check both tires for damage? Is the place you bought it from willing to replace it with a reg Pilot? There is no diff between the PP & 2ct other than the 20% softer shoulder only accessible at full lean.
