want opinion for any bike but i have a 2006 zzr600 with full exhaust and heads are ported
I don't have the 2ct, I just run the regulars and I'd recommend the same for you, you'll never notice the difference, the 2ct are just slightly harder in the center to make them last a little longer, not worth the extra cost to me.

Happily MOM's had a reasonable tire at a fine price (Michelin Pilot Power for $107) and so we took it and mounted it and I shot off an email to SWMotoTires with a "WTF. " So, the BTO23 and Michelin Pilot Power combination is. suboptimal. The profile of the Bridgestone is really round, the Michelin very triangular. Plus, the compound of the Michelin HATES any kind of road debris. It's really significantly worse in that respect than the Bridgestones. I was ready to just say f*ck it and install the 003, but (fortunately) the person helping me talked me out of it (what the hell do I know about race tires anyway. ) and we went out the next morning (Saturday, when we're all leaving for Americade Sunday) to a local shop to get whatever they have in stock that fits my front wheel. Lost my front end a couple of times on stuff that I wouldn't...
