I cannot personally comment on the Pilots but I have used the BT45 for the last 4 years and very happy with them. Started out this year with a new front and then also a new rear and done a lot of miles on them. Once I had new ones on it felt very confident on the handling and no surprises. They take a little to scrub in and I can feel how they need a little time to warm up on a cold morning. But anytime after a nice ride they feel warm and nice. No complaint over wet weather riding or of the life expectancy. I don't even make 12 months from a front tyre because of the amount of miles I do. I do a lot of miles in all weathers, commuting, touring, a balance of motorway and country roads. T45 is dual compound so you need to keep the pressures right and even though I am light enough find that I need to be on the high side with tyre pressure.
