What is the difference between Michelin power pure vs the Michelin 2cts? The 2cts are more popular but the power pure is a softer tire idk help me out guys!

You got it right.
The Pilot Pures are more weighted toward track riding than street, while the Pilot Power 2CTs are slightly weighted toward street.

Pure = softer & stickier, still with dual compounds.
2CT = less soft, you'll get more miles out of these on the street than the Pures. They still are very good track-day tires for an intermediate-level pace.

They are both 2CT's. the power pure is lighter and the center will last appox as long. The pure is the way to go!

Ive had both / The performance u will get is well worth the $20-$40 extra on the pures! & they still have an excellant tread life 4 a soft tires. 4k safe on rear

Both are for track. It's just easier to get the 190/55 rear tire in the pilot power 2CT than the power pure. (and slightly cheaper)

Power One (and new power "cup"?) are even better performing on track.

I've used both and liked the 2cts better. Better wear and a better profile. For me, the 2cts are smooth all the way to the edge.

They are both dual compound tires. I owned the pures and you'll not be disappointed with them. I got good mileage out of mine and most of my riding is commuting back and forth to work. The guy I bought the bike I now have installed the Pilot Powers on the rear (for some reason it still has the front original Pirelli from 2006). I will see how I like these tires.

I have run several sets of the 2CTs on my '07 1KRR and my '09 1KRR... I loved them. Great Road Tire. I tracked a set of 2CTs at Road America and was very pleased.

I just (this week) put a set of PUREs (190/55 series rear) on my '09 1KRR and even riding in 50° degree weather; (somewhat chilly) I am extrememly pleased with them. Put about 200miles on yesterday, loved the linear feel of turn-in, very controllable, very communicative, great feel from the road on these. I'm very anxious to see what kind of road-mileage-life I can squeeze out of them. That will determine if I continue going with PUREs -or- go back to 2CTs. I hope to stay with the PUREs.

Yup, just the way that chart shows...
I have 2CT on my street bike and Power One on track bike.
I love Michelins. If you are riding on the street and still wants to hit the track ones in a while you want to do Power Pure. 2CT, Pure & One all three are dual compound, it's just matter of your useage.
