2CTs at the Track?

[RacerXnh10]

I will be running an NHMS Penguin day at the end of the month. Right now my Daytona has a relatively new set of Pilot Power 2CTs on it. I was running low 1:30s on the GSXR last year so not setting any records, but hoping to dip into the 1:20s this time around on the Daytona. Any opinions on using the 2CTs vs a set of takeoffs? I haven't pushed these hard enough to squirm on the street so I don't really know what they're good for.

1:20's meaning 1:20.0, or 1:29.999 ?
many TD riders use the 2ct's with no issues.

You ll be fine. Run them.

1:29.99999 hah. Should've been more specific. Looking to shave 2-4 seconds, not wild enough to think I'll dump 12-14.

You ll be fine. Run them.

That was my inclination. Just looking for some backup from people with the experience.

Fine tire for 9x% of trackday riders.

I have a stack of power cup race take off tires your welcome to pick through.

I run the 2CT's at track days (also low 1:30's) and find them real predictable and they hold up well. This is on a 750 twin, so YMMV, but I would say ride the snot out of them - they should be fine.
