Plain and simple what you are feeling is either an anomaly in the road, or you have cold tires which sounds more likely. My PP's (not 2CT) are very greasy when cold. Then figure that the 2CT have race compound on the edge which is even more prone to the cold tire wiggles, and then the fact that you are getting on an on-ramp which makes me figure that it must be near your house, therefore I doubt the tire is warm enough to warrant "knee dragging lean angles"
Keep riding like this and you are going to destroy that pretty bike with the Ohlins Superforks, Carbon Fiber wheels, and full Akropovic exhaust super-duper commuter bike (those were just for you 
)
Feanor let me advise that you read a really good book, that covers all of riding in general, not just track but street as well
Sport Riding Techniques
"How to Develop Real World Skills For Speed, Safety and Confidence on the street and track"
by Nick Ienatsch
I think you need to re-evaluate your street riding
I've actually read that, and both the Twist of the wrist books by Code and another very good book called Street Strategies.
I was using the term "knee dragging lean angle" more as it applied to me and is consistent to me, rather than other riders techniques... On this particular turn I have both cheeks off the seat and hook with my outside leg, with centripetal (centrifugal?) force pressing the bottom of my thigh onto the seat. My outside armpit is directly over the gascap, steering with the inside arm, the oustide arm limp and almost dangling. Pressure on the inside peg and leading with the inside shoulder and looking as far around the turn as I can.
My street riding foolhardiness/spiritedness aside. I'm simply trying to solve a riddle... The reasons that you give don't explain why the Pilot Powers I had before did not suffer this particular handling anomaly in the slightest, when brand new or when worn...
Same warmup time, same on ramp, same speed, same temperatures in a comparative average over time, same suspension settings, same rider, same technique, same line thru corner.
If it were a minor handling difference there would be no mystery or desire to solve it, but the handling difference is significant.
Right now from what I've gotten from your posts and others are:
Difference in how quickly tires warm up
Tire profile (my original post)
If anomalies in the road or greasiness of the road were the answer, I would have felt that same thing at least ocassionally on the Pilot powers, and I didn't... The only time I even looked closely enough at the road surface to notice the uneven seams is because the bike was acting different with the new tires and I was ruling out as many variables as I could.
When I noted the road seams, that's what prompted me to look at the tire profiles in comparison more closely...
Believe me, I wouldn't even care and wouldn't bother anyone on the forum if it was a slight difference, but this was a stand up on the pegs and get off the seat mid corner kind of difference...
Oh, and not carbon fiber wheels... Marchesini magnesium... But I do thank you for your responses... Though there are digs in there against me, you offer possible ideas of what it might be
I didn't miss that part...
