Noob tire question

Most of the time those letters in front of that number means the type of sidewall used on the tire. Typically, most people ignore it. I may also be wrong here, but I think ZR means it's a sportier tire.
These are what I just put on my bike for daily riding:

the z is the speed rating (up to 150mph) the r just means radial...witch all tires now are radial...unless you go vintage and get bias ply...
in other words they are the same... if they are the same type of tire...pp2ct...those are zr..
just the person typing it in over looked it or got lazy...lol...
i still believe michelin makes the best tires out... but i don't test tires and have not tried all the tires out there....

Awesome, thanks a lot for the replies guys. I'm currently running the Battlax BT-003 front and rear but thought I'd switch to the PP2CT's.
@G3NESYS- I'm actually ordering off of motorcyclesuperstore! I've checked out a few places like kneedraggers, and revzilla, but I haven't found any places that have them as cheap as MCS does.
Stoked for the new riding season!!

P.S
If you haven't picked up your tires yet, 303cycle has some really good deals on tire sets. All of their prices are actually cheaper than motorcyclesuperstore, free shipping too. Since they're local here in Colorado I'll probably just buy from them, and have them mount them at the special rate. You should check them out
