Terrible warm up

“Terrible warm up”

Having "progressed" to the Pilot Power 2CT's after previously having the older Pilot Powers fitted to my Fireblade, I expected great things - how wrong was I.

They are terrible at warming up, even when lowering the pressures by a couple of psi, and have a tendency to "let go" at relatively low angles of lean. I once lost the front in a corner and was unable to recover it, resulting in a lot of expensive damage.

I even got a friend of mine who races in the British Superbike Championship to try the tyres, and he came to the same conclusion I did - won't warm up.

So it's either Pirelli Supercorsa's or Metzeler Racetecs for me.
