Purchase a new set on my 2021 Triumph Moto2 765 Daytona on track at Chuckwalla in mid-January 2024. Used tire warmers because the temperature ranged from 55F to 64F ambient. Ran the recommended pressures HOT off the warmers and rode on track at a pace 10 seconds off lap record for two long sessions each lasting over an hour: about 150 miles total. Tire grip was predictable, consistent and wear was relatively low, especially at the front. Feel was great and I am very happy with this tire as a plug and play option for use with OR without tire warmers. These tires work as advertised and required no changes to the geometry of the bike when switching from the OE tire to this Cup 2. I did not ride this tire in the rain so wet surface grip is set to 1 star.

Very good track day tire!

Having run these tyres after being recommended by retailer, I used these on both track and road, I was able to drop my personal best laptime by 5 seconds and on the road, wet and dry were absolutely amazing, cannot recommend enough!!!!

This tyre Provides great grip for track days and good sticky rubber for the street when reaching operating temperatures. They also heat up quickly. The tyre profile allows a sharp turn in response. After using Supercorsas and Dunlop’s and comparing these tyres i would use again. Tyre kilometre life is not really something considered for this type of tyre but probably lasts longer then some other track/street tyres.

I'm on my fourth set of PCIIs with my gsxr1k track bike and all I can say is, wow. These tires perform as well, and last longer, than any other manufacturer's offering in this class. I get 30% more sessions compared to others. That said, my longevity rating is based on pure track use. I can get about 5-600mi out of a set, on track, and that, to me, is amazing. This is not a street bias tire. If you're expecting to get 1000mi look elsewhere - this is not the tire for you. If you want a very predictable, even-wearing, long lasting, no-tire-warmer track tire that performs confidently at full wear, this is what you're looking for. I'm sure this tire will perform phenomenally on the street, as well, but you'll be burning them up quickly. Keep the above in mind and I think you'll find this tire quite satisfying, and well worth the money. [Haven't tested in wet conditions and this is an obligatory field so only 1 star reported so as to fulfill this requirement]
