I'm planning on trying out some Pilot Road 2's once I need a new front/rear set. Roads out here aren't twisty enough to need Powers or the like.

Since rears always wear out faster than fronts, I was going to get a softer one in the front... You should get the PP in the front and do the Road 2 out back... Then let me know how it works so you can be my guinea pig.

Why? Road 2's are suppose to be as soft on the sides as regular powers are everywhere. So all you are doing is making the middle of the front wear faster that way.

I don't use all of my front tire, so I figure it'll be an even race between the front and rear... Especially now that I'm in FL. I did think about running a 2ct in front and a Road in the rear... That combo may make more sense...

What do the road 2's look like?

I have a PP2ct front an a PP rear I got at Deals Gap when my PP Race take off started showing bands. The PP probably has 3500 on it now and is just below the indicators but I'm going to squeeze another 1000 out of the tires. But I love how they hook up. Not that I'm pushing them to the limits but one thing I do like is knowing my tires won't be to blame if I screw up.
My next tire since I'll mainly be doing commuting (From home, to school, to work, and then home) will be Pilot Roads2 which are suppose to have Pilot Road centers with regular PP sidewalls. But once my PP2ct Front wears out I'll look into other tires. On my old SecaII I got some Bridgestone Battlax tires (BT21 I believe) that were pretty nice and lasted a long time (Even after I sold it an they rarely saw sidewall action).

Oh shit... just tried the new Bridgestones, BT003R's. FUCKING AMAZING. I went with a medium front and hard rear, perfect combination.
