If I were 90% commuting I would get the 208 or 209.
If I were mostly canyon and the occasional track I would go with the PP.
Yeah, definitely!!
Does the Power pilot come in a 190/55 17 yet??

Hmm... I'm getting even closer to thinking I need new rubber. I've got about 6500 on my current set now, and I'm really starting to see some of the tread wear (or lack of tread). Thinking about the PP's. I'm about 50/50 when it comes to canyon/commuting. Everyone says the 207's are hard as a rock w/no grip... but I know I've pushed them pretty hard... at least a fairly high pucker-factor for me... Definately not riding past the edges of the tire though, as I've always had the thought of "Don't push it, these tires suck" in the back of my mind.
I think I'll welcome some extra grippy, faster warming, and better wet performance (I do live in Seattle...).
And hey! They even come in the right size for my bike! 120/65 ZR 17 Fronts and 180/55 ZR 17 Rears. Now to bend over and get someone to install 'em. [:@]
