I'm currently on K3's. They have been good tyres but need to be warmed up properly before being pushed hard. They get warm on the road but no where near as warm they do on track, which is where they offer the best performance. In the wet, they are not too good. They never really get warm enough and probably lack sufficient silica, due to being a more performance orientated tyre.
The reason I ask about the PP3's is that I tried the 2CT's when they first ever came out (about 2008???) and as an all round tyre I was really impressed with them in pretty much all areas. Apparently, the Pilot Power Pure has been replaced with the Pilot Power III and from what I've read so far, they are much more preferred over the PPP, from tests already conducted, and are supposed to be better in all areas, than the 2CT's. They sound like a realistic option for road and the odd track day, so just wondered if anyone had given them a try. I guess it's early days, so I'll watch this space...
The other thing I'm seriously considering, is a spare set of rims; one with proper track focused tyres and the other with tyres which are designed more for sporty road use, including useage in the wet.
It doesn't matter which tyre you read consumer reviews about, there will always be someone who says it's crap. The reality is, there aren't many 'really bad' tyres out there for the latest bikes - horses for courses etc., and all tyres need a degree of warming up first!
If I go for the PP3's I'll report back with my findings...
