I love my michelin 2ct's.... yesterday i went to Cycle Gear and was talkin to mikey g. and he just bought a set of Bridgestones for 240 (cause he works there and gets a discount) but the profile on them looked sick, they had 3 inches of slick on the sides with tred in the center, i wonder how they would do in the turns.... i might invest in a set after my 2ct's go

I have 05 F4i and got Michelin Pilot Powers two months ago, I simply love them. They have very strong grip on the road and probably one of the best experience you will have when taking corners. This tire is best if performance is what you are looking for... but it may not last as long as some other tires out there since they used different components to provide performance. It warms up quick and sticks on the road. If you are spending most of your time on the highway, then you can find other tires that will last (a little) longer...

most of my riding consists of a 25 mile ride to/from work. its half back roads and half main roads with a 55 speed limit. i occasionally find some twistys but not all the time. these tires have 5,000 miles on them so far (stock factory tires).

attempt #6

so it appears i have more around a month before ill need new rubber. i have looked into the Pilot Powers and 2ct's but they look as if they will be a little too soft (short lifed) for what i need. id love the amazing grip but i dont wanna have to buy new rubber in 3,500-4,000 miles. looking for something with great grip that i can get 5-6k+ out of. what do you guys recommend?
