mate, looked at them today, funny thing is my rear is 99% worn (gone-ski) and front is 75 - 80% worn after both have done 11,000k's..it is certainly strange that my front didn't last longer, so Ill be changing them as a complete set this time round.

Fark, you got 11,000Km outta 2cts? I only got that out of the rear M3 (front hand plenty of meat left). I'm expecting the road 2 rear to wear out at the same time as the 2ct front - but only time will tell.

Again, thanks to all who offered their opinion and advice. after 11,000km of mediocar-ness I am again happy and confident on the 10

You must be an "A" grader then Blue14, as I havn't managed to get them to let go apart from compromised surfaces or cold tyres???? I have also found them pretty easy to get a hold of once they do let go. Ask Pinchy, he witnessed one such incident from behind!!

your arse ceratinly didnt let go of the seat marty!!!

i think people are still confusing power 2ct and pilot road 2

In the twisties I try and ride the pace, easy on the brakes, easy on the power. Around town I read the road ahead and never hammer the brakes too hard - it's all about being smooth.

compromised surfaces

That is all we get around here latley and on the 14 I think it is more weight than pace that is tearing up front tyres. Fat bike + fat me = short tyre life. 5000 out of the rear is about right but I expected a fair bit more from the front. No A grader here.
11,000 from power 2ct's

Metzler m3s the last set i had 6500 rear 7000 front,Dunlop roadsmarts which is what i have been running for the last 3 sets 6-7000 front 8500-9000 rear. 11000 being it front or rear tyre aint going to happen for me.

Mate, I think your confusing..

Pilot Road 2ct's - Harder Tyre

&

Pilot Power 2ct's - Softer Tyre

OK, I didn't realise the road 2 was a 2ct as well. I have the harder road 2ct on the rear, and the softer Power 2ct on the front.

Ah for some reason I thought you had the power 2ct on the front.

HE HAS A POWER 2CT ON THE FRONT AND ROAD 2 ON THE REAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if u call the road 2, a road 2 and not a road 2ct then u cant confuse it with the power 2ct

people do it with the metzelers as well, Sportec M3 front and Roadtec Z6 rear...

I have road 2ct on both front and rear - yes harder on both front and rear !

HE HAS A POWER 2CT ON THE FRONT AND ROAD 2 ON THE REAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is what I thought but WORNG
