Just to be clear...are you referring to the Pilot Powers or the Pilot Sports?

RE: Michelin Pilot Power?
there are pilot power's and pilot sports. pilot powers are the newer ones. I researched a lot since i also got my bike used and i needed new tires. I think i found mine for like $190 for both front and rear. But had to pay like $120 for install. I haven't really needed to use my tires as i'm still a beginner and don't turn agressively yet. But it poured on the day i brought my bike in for a tire change. Rode them home WITH the lil film/wax that was still on them in the rain with only 1 week of experience with the wind blowing me around. I believe that there are like 3 different kinds of pilot powers. Hard, medium, and soft. I think i chose the medium one. But def good tires, and since they're more important than a car, i don't think i'd go with anything else buy pilot power's from now on. Plus michelin makes the best stuff IMO...-= )

RE: Michelin Pilot Power?
I currently have Pilot Roads on my bike. They are a little slippery when they are cold but when they get warm they do very well. I got caught in an UNBELIEVABLE downpour on the way home from work and 70 on the interstate was just as stable as when the road was dry. I would DEFINATEY look at the Pilot Powers if you are going to ride hard but if you are going long distance or just mainly highway miles like me (suburban Atlanta) the pilot roads are great.
