they're gonna rot away on ur tiller just as fast as anything else. The whole tire debate is over-rated. Between corsa's and 2cts, i'll buy whichever i can find cheaper, and honestly i'll prolly even end up just w/ regular PP's again in the future. i know most of the guys that teach track days near me never get anything else.

The main reason I went with the triple compound bt016s was that I got them cheaper than I could the PPs. Otherwise it wouldve been the michelins.

I've been using the 2CT for a little while now...

I've I've gotten good grip out of them and feedback is decent. this current set, I've got about 1k on the street and 4 trackdays...... 4 trackdays on the rear. so far they're wearing very nicely BUT i'll qualify that with the fact that the track I rode on for most of those is a VERY smooth track. Tires often barely look scrubbed in after a trackday running in the expert group.

My next track day is at Motorsport Ranch Cresson which is very rough on tires. I'll see how they hold up.

The last trackday I rode, one of the racers i was out there with approached me and asked me about my tires... and stated that he thinks they're holding me back.. and recommended I give the BT 002RS or BT003 a shot.. and I think I will for my next set of tires.

My opinion of the 2CTs. They are a good tire, but the tranisition between compounds is not as smooth as a Corsa III. I was getting a lot more rear wheel spin and wasn't as planted as the Corsa IIIs as well. However, in the rain, I was much much much happier to have the 2CTs. They worked well in wet conditions, where the Corsa IIIs downright suck. Overall, they are a good tire, I don't know if I would buy them again. I really like the Corsa IIIs except in the wet.
