RE: Metzler M3's vs. Michelin Pilot powers
M3's are supposed to be more sticky, while increasing mileage 25% over M1s! Pilot powers would be best for street, sport touring and may be casual track I believe. More like all round stuff (I havent owned a set but currently have their predecessor, pilot sport). That's what my research told me when I bought my M3s after sliding going straight (moderate acceleration) on 5 yr old pilot sports.
I'm really looking forward to being more at peace riding with the M3s... as soon as I find a way to get the tire change done below 150 bucks

havent been on the pilot powers, but i have the M3 Sportecs now and they are great tires. have done a half day at the track on them and they are great- didnt get lose on me once. dont get too much track time though, so i cant offer a great analysis of them. all i can say is they havent disappointed me yet.
