Question Tyre wear on pilot power 2ct's

Anyone got any feedback on wear rate on R6, How many miles did you get out the rear approx?

Not starting a tyre debate just after some info to help me decide what to fit next

I've got the normal pilot powers and have done about 2500 miles on them and will probably get another 2k out of the rear, good grip dry or wet, much more confidence inspiring than the D208's previously fitted, and I also managed to get mine for £120 plus fitting off ebay!!

I had 2ct's on the R1 and got about 5k out the rear and 8k out the front. Then moved to pilot power and only got 2.5k - 3k out the rear, so deffo worth the extra unless you get a really good deal.

I've now got the 2ct's on again

I had my normal Pilot Powers from Round & Black on Ebay and I reckon to have got somewhere between 4k & 4.5k out of the rear.
