Yeh

Nice one funky for putting it on the site and to Dynamight for mentioning it on the early morning ride a couple of weeks back.

Wheel's coming off in the morn and getting a used Bridgestone 011 put on till the 2CT comes in.

Sod waiting 2 weeks, even if the weather is crap.

Had mine almost a year, so ain't going to stop using it now plus there ain't any rubber left on it to come of anyhow

I got one that needs to go back but not heard from michellin in over a week so phoned again and was told that they have run out of replacement 2ct's and wont have any for several weeks so i am getting a pilot power instead which is arriving tomoz. Always run Dunlop's before and think after this i might change back cause Michellin not really done enough to get my money again next time.

I'm a bridgestone man through and through, though I am really impressed with my current Metzelers.

I'll probably try the new 2Cts next as I haven't tried them, but my current favourite tyre for grip and longevity is the BT014

Well my nice new 2CT came in this morning. Gonna fit it at work tomorrow if the weathers dry. Just have to do 100 miles before the weymouth run on Sunday. If not the bridgestone will have yo do

If I suddenly go zoom on the run it's cos the tyres done a ton

Mike, for real?
I have never really run a trye in, maybe if its wet when i get it, but I just ride like i usually do and I usually have more grip with a new tyre than my old one as the old one is that foooooked! haha!

Mike Daytona600 · Post by **Mike Daytona600** » Jul 20th, '07, 21:50

You should always go steady for the first 100 miles. If you don't you could loose it.

they ask where you want the tyre fitted and let you know when its on its way free of charge
also advise not to go above 70mph as a safety warning

Hmmm, that basically mean keep to the legal limit!!
