Are you running a 190/50 or a 190/55? A /55 will tend to turn quicker initially.

Q2's tip in fast have them on my 14 and R6. Actually it's awesome as a track day tire got about 5k out of a rear on the street on my 14 about 5 trackdays on the R6.

What kind of tire life are you getting out of the powers? I've run the 2CT's on my old BlackBird XX and they were fantastic. About 7K out of a rear if I recall. I was thinking of running them on the 14 as well. Are they rated for the big top speeds of the 14? A blowout at 180mph would suck!

A /55 will tend to turn quicker initially.

+1 and BT-003 was the fastest turn in I have noticed. Actually felt a bit too much on the street until I got used to it or maybe it just eventually wore into more of a street profile. Seemed to work well for me on the track at 28 PSI cold.

That's not to bad, maybe I'll go with the Pilot Road 3's if they make one with a high enough speed rating... I'd like something with a little longevity. Either that and go opposite with some of the new super sticky Bridgestones or the 2CT or equivalent.
