umm, take it you mean pilot power 2ct's vs pilot road 2's?
Well, i'v used both, they're both very good tires for what they do, had roads on my sv650 and they were very impressive, KD on any corner i wanted and very good mileage.
currently running powers (not 2ct) on my k5 600, they've been fantastic for me and will be changing to the 2ct version when they've run out of life. went to the nurburgring on them and they didn't give me any trouble, gunna go brands in july using them also.
deffinately recommend either
roads for relatively decent riding
powers for very spirited riding and track

Got road2s on at the moment and they cope well with fast road riding and running inters on track...quite curious about the 2cts though, may try them next as would like to give some stickier tyres a go.

There is also a comparison of Road 2, 2CT and One in PB magazone this month

It depends how hard you ride. If you want better grip and slightly less life then go for the 2CT. Otherwise go for the Road 2's. To be honest the Road 2's are pretty awesome for grip in the rain or dry for most riders anyway. I will say though, the new Pirelli Angel ST's are on offer with most tyre fitters at the moment. I know that we are doing them for £199 fitted, ride-in ride-out at the moment. Road 2's are about £240 fitted I think.
