Keen eye. I have power pures on the rear and pilot road 2s on the front. The front is 120/60 and rear is 160/60.
Yeah so the power pures are AMAZING. Tonnes of grip but they really stand out in the wet, they won't give way on you. I was riding through the national park and in the middle of a blind corner there was like an inch deep of water and the tyres held up fine, and sydney weather often turns to rain catching me out. They don't develop flat spots (at least not easily, i haven't). I run the pilot road 2 at the front just cause it lasts longer.
