Which setup is best ?
Pilot Power front + Pilot Power rear or
Pilot Power front + Pilot Sport rear ?

I know that Pilot Powers are better on dry, but I want to ride all autum until snow falls. Romanian autums are cold and rainy, colder than Britain because there is no ocean nearby.
Requirements are quick warming, max grip for braking both front an rear. Good braking in the wet. Will be used for riding in a city crouded with insane, blind cagers, so handling is also important.

Out of town performance is not critical.

There is no Pilot Sport front in stock and I don't want to wait.
The price is the 0.1% lower for Pilot Power than Pilot Sport.

Thanks for any advice + reasoning.
