+1 :agree:If you are mixing tires, that's the way to it. Stay with the same manufacturer. I've mixed tires lots of times and it works fine. I even mix tires on the track with a slick on the front and DOT on the rear. Good combination.
Your PP & PP2ct are identical tires. The only thing Michelin did was apply a thin little sliver about as wide as your thumb on the outside edges of the standard PP to make the PP2ct. You can mix and match these two tires and not even a professional rider will know the difference.
By the way, if you like the idea of multiple compound tires, when it's time for tires again, do yourself a huge favor and have a look at the BTO16 which is a triple compound rear and dual compound front or the Pirelli Corsa III which has a full one third of each side of the tire covered in the sticky rubber! More than twice as much at the PP2ct.
Would it be ok to mix tires? same Brand but different model.
I have a new 2CT for the front (not installed yet)
would it be out ok to mix it with a Reg, PP on the rear or should they be the same?
Don't know your riding style, but I use to be aggressive street. I had mixed tires front to rear and never had an issue with mix. Had a bad Shinko rear once.

It's AZ Bike Week, grab a deal on a matching rear
I wouldn't mix the two. The 2CT is a dual compound tire, and if you mix-and-match, you might adversely affect your handling. I'm sure that people have done worse combinations, I would suggest exercising good judgment when doing so.
The Pilot Power 2CT front tire is a "single" compound
Please check your facts
I Put those BT016 on today. Took off My Pilot Powers.
(Yeah Tuf you win)
Can't ride for a while to test them - too much snow but soon.
They seem real nice from all I have read.
Hot dang Mikey, I'm proud of you! I think you'll like those 16's!
I just picked up a set of the BT002RS tires yesterday to try out. Everyone brags about how well they perform so I couldn't resist. I'll give them a little track time when the weather warms a bit. GregBob just put a set on his Gixxer1K before he went to Infinion and he is on them this weekend at Thunderhill so I'm sure he will have an opinion to share with us when he returns!
Good choice on the 16's buddy!
