Default pilot power question

Ive heard through several of these post that the pilot power tires are really good ones and a lot of people would recommend them. I was looking at some, but they all say pilot power. Which ones should I get especially if I do in town riding and some high speed riding? any ideas anyone.

is the Michelin website. As I understand they have a Pilot Road, Pilot Sport and Pilot Power,
then they also have the Pilot Power 2CT which is softer on the edges to aid cornering grip.

I use regular Pilot Powers, and have found them to be great tires.

Good luck,

Unless you do track and are on a course where you're on the side of the tire a lot, stick with the regular PPs, not the 2CT. Pilot Road and Sport have a harder compound and maybe even a flatter profile and will give longer life at the expense of flickability and high speed road cohesion.

Yeah, he's trying to get a ride is WSS.

About the PP's you only have to look closer if the front says "made in France" then there's a series number which says the bad ones. Mine were "made in Spain" so no issue.
