Pilot sport/pilot power
Why are the powers cheaper then the sports? In most cases better = more money. And it doesnt say weather the power is speed rated or not. Any one have any info I would love to hear it. Im looking at the powers, they sound great. Thanks.

im pretty sure they're the same speed rating as the sports.
i changed to the powers from the sports and in my opinion they're a bit better all round, but especially warm up and getting the power down versus the old sports.
good tyres.

Is the front taller the Sport?
I'm confused as to why they would be cheaper though.

slightly taller profile to turn in quicker or that might be the rear construction, they do steer quicker

Could be the current marketing ploy to get them out there, to compete with the Diablo Corsa, stuff like that.
