Im running pilot power on the front and Pilot road 2 on the back. Your right about the front, the PR2ct was good on the front but the PP seems to love being leaned over!
Think I might try PP2ct front and PR2 rear next. The PR2ct has never had any grip issue and I can easy get 8K out of the rear im happy with that.
I think the modern Michelin's are very good tyre's.
