Michelin Pilot Powers

[Rob W]

Well, went to get my rear tyre done today and ended up getting a pair of these fitted, why cant I just say no lol. Anyway, the guy in there said there the best selling tyre at the moment, offering good grip levels and they last really well. Must admit even on the way home after I'd scrubbed them in a touch the bike felt a lot more planted, but I dont really know if that's just my subconscious talking.

Anyone got any good/bad experiences with these?

BTW I've got a 120/60/ZR17 BT014 part worn for sale if anyone's interested,

The americans on www.zx-10r.net swear by them, the only reason i don't run them is i can get cheap part worn Metzeler Racetec's through a racing mate

Well if there good enough for ZX-10R riders my little 400 shouldn't be too bad with them.

Cheers, .

They sound pretty soft, so the mileage you'll get out of them won't be spectacular (10R owners are reprting anywhere between 1800 miles to 3000 miles). But they should be fun miles with that amount of grip!

I always used to have 010's then when I got my new bike it came with Pilot Powers and I really like them.

They do feel really grippy and are good in the wet although I can't swear they are much better than the 010's though!

if my merory serves me right they promote lean angles of 52 degrees dry and 46 degrees wet, they are made of a synthetic goo derived from the moto gp technology (but then again what isn't)
I had em on my '04 6R and cained the rear relentlessly on a hot 40 degree aussie summers track day and it just got better and better the more I pushed them, in comparrison to pilot sports they are worlds apart

i brought a pair of these last week, i went for the Michellin pilot Sports instead as they were a bit better in the rain *it was pee'ing it down at the time*

120 miles later i've only just started to touch the little michellin men on the side.

haven't been out for a proper play yet as the bikes mainly used to get work on down the country roads.

ive done 200 miles on a new set of pilot powers on my zxr750r and i really really like them, front end feels solid as a rock and they have seen quite a bit of "dirty knee down action" already

[Rob W]

Well after sorting my rectifier today I finally managed to give them a good run, and I must say I'm very impressed.

Bike feels so much better in corners now, and just drops in with hardly any effort. They're almost scrubbed in right to the edge already and I've only done about 150 miles on them. Cant believe how much better the bike feels now, completely different.

They get a big from me!
