RE: Michelin Pilot Power
why do people rip on dunlops...even the 208s? they were one of the best tires i've tried until i went with diablos. ultra sticky and great wear. pilot powers are dope, but as far as turn in...it does make the bike dive in hard and sensitive to it, which i do not like. diablos gives you a neutral feel, where the bike does not feel like it's diving in too hard. however, the powers do have greater lean angle than the diablos, based on the tire profile.
both are ultra sticky, both wear dope. so...on top of the list, should be both!
i'm waiting on the qualifiers, but dude, at those prices...those tires aren't even on my top 5!

I have about 600 miles on my new mpps and O love em. this is on an 02 f4i. they look like the day I mounted them after 600 miles and they stick great in everything. I live in the northeast so we have some pretty crappy roads from the winters up here and even with the cracks and bumps and gravel and dirt and dust I have not had a single moment where these tires felt like they were going to let me down. even got caught in a downpour the other day and they hooked up great in the wet as I was moving pretty quick to find cover out of the rain. heh.. anyways not sure how long they will last but lile I said 600miles strong hoping to get around 5k out of them. also couldnt beat the prioce of $200 for the front and rear.

RE: Michelin Pilot Power
but if it sucks...that would just suck then. looking at the tread pattern, it's parallel, like the 208s and pilot powers. i think these will follow groove on freeway...
