Vishal, where did you get them from? I didn't know they sell these (Road 2) here officially. And yes, the Michelin's don't have that mark.
I got them from an authorised michelin dealer here in calcutta. oh, and these are pilot road 2.

@fireblah @stewarch
Why dont you guys tell us why you went for Pilot Road / Pilot Power respectively?

I think the ROAD should last longer than POWER, however, I really want to know the trade offs? Is the ROAD harder than POWER? I am aware of the features listed on the websites but can we have some on-road experience?

I would not be able to tell you as I have not tried both yet, and honestly, I do not think I would be able to make out any differences between any two kind of tyres.
(too many Is in that sentence)... well... i dont feel any difference now between the stock and the pilot road... maybe in track you will be able to tell the difference ?
The Pilot Road is more normal road riding friendly. Hope it lasts 10k Kms atleast...

Yep, mine were 2CT's and I bought them because I believe they stick better on Indian roads, with the high heat. They do stick to the road and give the performance I want.

Did you check the manufacture date? The ones I got for the Busa were manufactured in '08.
