Default New tyres..........

Just Had a set of these Michelin Pilot Powers Fitted. Thought I`d give them a try for the road and see what all the fuss is about.

Let us know. I have a set for my 600RR hanging on my garage wall waiting to get mounted. I hope I feel a big differance from the Dunlop 218's I have now.

A guy that I ride with (AKA twistatech) just had them put on and he can't wait until they wear out so he can get dunlops again. He really doesn't like them, but another guy that I have ridden with just loves them so I guess it just depends. BTW twistatech has an '01 F4i and the other guy rides a '04 or '05 GSXR 1K

My 2 cents...I've got the Pilots and wouldn't use anything else. Out of all the different bikes I've ridden, with all the differnet tires, these are by far my favorite. They just really seem to stick for me in the corners, and I get no play while riding.

i love my pilot powers
way better than my dunlop on my old F4
I feel better traction.

all my friends have at least one of them on their bike (the front or rear one)


Anyone tried the new Pilot Powers 2? They are less for commuting but better for track

Most guys I ride with have powers and swear by them. I have Qualifiers... they are great but seem to be wearing really fast. I'll be lucky to see 4k miles on them.

I`ve just taken em out to see what there like, its rainin here has been all day. Only a short 12 mile errand to run to register the birth of my new `un. But I like[sm=signs007.gif] even though its the first time they`ve seen tarmac and there still full of release compound the feel and grip levels where really good. Can`t wait for the full scrubbed in time.
