Bike tires either street or track have been designed with the concept of heat cycles in mind as well. Also, one of the most important aspects of purchasing tires are to be sure that although they are "new" are they really new? That being said, when was the date of manufacturing. If tires have sat for a very long time, then this affect their longevity as well.
Do some more searching on some of the keywords found in this thread. I'm sure there's more info on the forum available.

I'm about to replace the 180 Pilot Power (slow leak) with a 190 standard Power or 2CT. The front is a standard Power with plenty of tread. Your thoughts....standard or 2CT.... or no big deal?

I've had really good results with the Pilot Powers. I plan on trying the 2ct's next.
I do however have a tire you should 100 percent stay away from. that is the dunlop 218. this tire is about the most worthless tire when it comes to grip. I have never slid so much on a tire as I did on these. I put about 1000 miles on em and junked em. I gave em to a friend for his stunt bike.

The '54 had a 180 (and a complimentary nail  ) on it when I bought it a couple of weeks ago, GixB.
Had a 190 Power 2CT put on it yesterday and put a easy 200 miles on it. First significant ride and all I can say is WHOA!!!!!!!!
Power, handling, lightweight (VFR was easily 130 heavier and down 30 ponies) and not uncomfortable. Everything they say about the '54 is true. I'm one happy camper  !!!!!
