Update on the Pilot Power 3. Done about 1500 miles or so now. Still good in the dry, but not as good as the 2CT's IMO. Also had them in the wet as well, on normal roads they were mediocre, on bike roads they were slippy, moving about and didn't inspire any confidence. After tweaking tyre pressures & suspension they appeared to behave better. Will find out more in the next shower if this has worked any better.
Not entirely won over on these tyres yet due to the 2CT's being such a good tyre. If the last 30% longer & start to grip better, i'll be impressed.
