Does anyone know if I could swap my power 2ct recalled front for a 2ct road? I know they were trying to give the regular powers in exchange for the recalled 2ct so this doesn't seem that crazy of an idea since the powers are more expensive any way.

What is the deal with even getting the road 2ct? I have been hearing that they are on back order because only a small amount was sent to the states.

If I can't swap the power for a road does any one want a front 2ct power for cheap?

Why dont you just get a new 2CT Power?
Anyway ask Karaya, he's the man when it comes to
Michelin.

I also have a recalled tire I should eventually trade in

Because I can't ride to the ability that the power offers. Plus I always wear the crap out of the center and the edges are barley touched with 1/16th in. chicken strip and my gumballs look like sand at best.

Wait a sec.

I got a pic

Michelin will only give you another Power for your recalled Power. Your best bet would be to swap with a dealer.

The 120/70-17 Road 2CT has been on b/o for over 60 days now. We got 20 in the initial stocking order. Those lasted about a day. Never saw another one since, and Michelin USA has none.

**Pittenger5** · 11-12-07, 01:27 PM

Is there any official word if they'll be getting more in or anything?

**Karaya One** · 11-12-07, 02:51 PM

We keep hearing January.

**Pittenger5** · 11-12-07, 03:02 PM

Long as its by the time I need a new front tire, Im happy

Almost forgot about this. Thank you for the info. I guess I'll just get a new PP 2CT and hawk it up here

Whats the deal with no Road 2CTs in the USA?

Lots of new rubber coming out. I imagine its just a production issue. They will fix it. Every new tire goes through this, but they get them all out fairly quickly.

**Mr. Kurtz** · 11-17-07, 11:09 PM

I'm 99% positive I have some 120/70 Pilot Road 2's in stock. I can check tomorrow, and if I do, I'd have no problem swapping your 2CT recall for a Road 2.

Only catch is you'd have to drive down to Orange, CT.

**Karaya One** · 11-19-07, 11:26 AM

Well, a friendly truck just dropped off 40 Power 2CT fronts and 10 Road 2CT fronts.

Air freighted in from Spain. Thanks Bib!!!

**Pittenger5** · 11-19-07, 11:29 AM

Eeeee! Can I exchange a recalled front with you, I will be your best friend for ever and ever and ever and ever?

**Karaya One** · 11-19-07, 03:31 PM

What dealers do you deal with?

I would rather do it through them. Makes nice politics for me. Would cost you nothing...

**Pittenger5** · 11-19-07, 03:52 PM

I dont deal through dealers really, this was like the first set I ever got and made the mistake of saving a few bucks online, never again will I make that mistake.

Thanks for the offer, to bad I want to wait a bit closer to spring since I'm riding out the last bit of tread I can on my old set. Plus why change em then have them siting around on a concrete floor. Plus Orange, Ct. is a HAUL from Woosta mass

I got no specific dealer either, the set I have I got threw PK last year and I don't think he really deals with tires

Definitely a haul, figured as a last ditch it mighta worked for you. If spring rolls around, and you haven't sorted it out yet, let me know, offer will stand as long as I happen to have the Road 2 and Michelin is still taking back 2CTs...

Cool thanks a bunch, it might actually work good if I visit my dad before spring since I take 84 to PA
