depends on how hard you ride really. The PR n PR2CT will get 5-10k, the PP n PP2CT 3-8k.

Got 8k on last set of PP2CT's. That's probably not representative of most sets though. My current set seems to be wearing faster...w/ the same types of riding. Time will tell but they are great tires.

I have PP2CTs on my CBR. The 2CTs will definitely wear quicker than the PRs, due to design. However, I believe the 2CTs would get better performance on the twisties. If you're going to be doing a lot of commuting, the PRs would probably be a better choice. For my purposes (commuting, city riding, weekend twisties & canyons, & track days), the 2CTs have proved to be my best choice.

It is full bore. I haven't really heard any reviews about them though. Just had a guy buy a rear from us a few days ago. I've never ran anything other than BT016s on my bike and I love them, got them for about the same price you paid for the full bore's.

They're Bridgestone's. A fairly new tire from them I believe.

The BT's are good but they do wear very quickly. Keep that in mind. So if you're looking for a tire w/ longer lasting wear or more of a an all-wx tire, probably not the best selection.

Yeah, they really don't last that long, but its all I've ever ridden on and I like them. I can usually get a few track days out of them with a decent amount of street riding in between. I'll prolly try a new tire next tire change just to see the difference.
