Looking for a good price on a set Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires
I have the stock tire on the front and have been running a Shinko U-soft on the rear because I was going to the track a lot. I find myself spending a lot more time on the streets so I think I may just go with a set of Pilot Powers so I can feel safer in the corners at high speeds, not to mention, I will get better traction all around on the street with the Pilots. The Shinko's need heat and low pressure to perform well and that is not practical on the road.
I am looking to purchase a set of the internet and wondered if anyone could recommend a place to buy them from with a good price? These local places want close to $200 for just the rear and for that kind of money I will ride a Shinko. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Sure cant, thanks. Those are the 2CT (new 2 compound version) are they? I would be amazed if they were. Even still, it is a great buy.

You are the man. I really appreciate that tip. There Michelin prices cannot be beat. They had the regular Pilot Powers for $109 front and $129 but I got the 2CT's for $109 front and $139 rear. He actually gave me a price break on both. There cost on the rear is $135. I am very happy, now I can hit some corners.
For anyone who is not local but still wants a super deal, you can order from Ridenow corporate, here's the link http://www.ridenow.com/product/detail/MPP.aspx

I heard from my local dealer and from Cycle Gear that they should have them in this week. I also called Michelin and they agreed.
