Michelin man here as well ... I stick with the Pilot Road 2's as my bike is my everyday rider ... these tires have never treated me wrong ... the have plenty of grip for decently fast riding, excellent tread life, and good wet weather traction too ... I've tried many different kinds of tires too (Pirellis, Dumblops, Bridgestone, and Continentals) so i'm not suggesting these from just personal preference ... hopefully you get a good set of tires and get some good riding out of them ...

 

I run Bridgestone BT023's and love em!

 

What is it with everyone getting power 2ct's and not the pures? The pure front tire is much better then the power 2ct [although I'll admit the rears feel almost identical] and both types get the same mileage out of them. I don't see the reason for power 2ct's even existing anymore really....

 

For information sake on Michelin tires...

 

I prefer Dunlop or Bridgestone...................I feel the Michelin tire shape isnt as good

 

Love my Q2....

 

I just put on some Shinko r009's on my 05 f4i and they seem to very good tires for the money. I was going to go with the Michelins but the Shinkos were cheap and the reviews were pretty good as far as them being good hard compound tires. Im not a real hard rider, so I just wanted something that was going to last. They seem to be fairly sticky for being a harder compound though.

 

I have the power 2ct's as well. Big step up from my old pirelli's. Bike felt totally different, gives me a lot more confidence in twisty stuff.
