Did these go up in price recently or am I imagining things?

Roughly £30 more expensive then Angels or Storms :/ (for a 180/55 rear)

I ran 36 / 42 psi on my curvy using these bad boys, Much better feel than the SV book pressures. Will be put them on the zx9 when the power give up.

Dunno really I just ride, I don't if weight makes a difference but I weighed myself yesterday I was 143lbs or 65kg. I expect my weight to carrying dropping.

65kg and dropping? That doesn't sound healthy, you alright?

Pilot Road 2's are great Geodude!!
Really good grip in dry..fantastic in the wet. I am going to be putting a set onto my Hyper soon as I am not happy with the diablo corsa 3's on there. Have had 2 fairly large slips in damp conditions with them.

With the PR2's however I never once had a slip or confidence shaking moment.

Wear rate on them wasn't bad either. I think I was closing in on 5k on a set with still about 2mm to the wear rate before I sold the 749.

Cheers Mr Speirs just had them more than recommended by my local garage and instructors place. I think i will be giving them a try, mind you anything will be better than my square bt020's.
