Lol!! I'll be careful at the TT!!! got the Pilot road 2's, wheels now sitting in the living room... frustrating as we can't put them back on tonight as we have to drive to my parents house and give them back their transit van which we borrowed.... I suppose we ought to seeings as we've had it since Easter!!! Have to stop over so will make a quick getaway tomorrow so we can get back and I can try out these tyres, want to get them scrubbed in properly before we leave next Friday.
I'll report back my findings on the tyres when we get back! Michelin have really been blowing their trumpet about them and they have come top in independant surveys both for wet grip and durability, reckon I'm gonna need the wet grip given the weather forecast for the Isle of Man!!!!

Just bought a pair of Continental Road Attacks.
Had them recommended as the mutts n**s and I`ve always got on withConti`s so gotta be worth a try

track: pirelli supercorsa SC1/SC2 combo

road: whatever i can get my hands on...now i have a diablo corsa up front, and a MPP in the back. I am not too excited about the diablo to be honest: i did a few really hard braking manouvres, and i could get the front wheel locking up for metres without trying too hard. Maybe i am spoiled with the grip of the track tires though...

I Use the Pilot 2ct front and the Pilot road for the rear. I have gone to the mountians for a squirt and the mix is great. I also commute everday on my raptor and it looks like I will also get good tyre life too.

The best of both worlds...

Just scrubbed mine in and done a bit of scratchin on the way over to the Stormin the Castle Rally

.
New suspension and those tyres has transformed it

Just got to fettle the settings a bit to fine tune it now.

pilot power for me

good grip and confidence on road and track (both wet and dry)
and decent mileage , did 6000 km , commuting and about 15 track days
and still some KM's left in the rear and the front looks it can outlive a new rear tyre
