The Avon Storm is great, sticks, and good mileage. Some guys love the new Pilot Road-2. Sticks like a Pilot Power, but last as long if not longer than the Road

I've run Pirelli Diablo Stratas...Ok tire if you dont push it too hard, good for 5-6,000
Pilot powers. Much better that the stock 014's good for about 4,500
Pilot power 2ct's better yet. not worn out yet

What about the Pilot Road 2CTs?
Is it true that they have the Pilot Power compound on the sides?
