Wow did Mich get these tires right! Sticky, fast warm up and out last lots of other brands. This tire can be used on track with great results. They are 90% track and 10% street. Look out Pirelli!

I\'ve got nothing but good to say about these tires. I tend to ride agressively and the Pilot Sports were phased out.
Michelin\'s tire fitment guide recommends these as a replacement tire. After the intial break in I had a chance to ride on my favorite roads. I found the tires to be well mannered with predictable turn in and excellant grip. The new tire pattern also eleviates some to the wobble problems the Pilot Sports tend to have. The Pilot Power Side wall stiffness was also reduced slightly to allow the tires to flex slightly and gain more grip. This took a little getting used, but after a small adjustment to the tire pressure they felt just fine.
As of Yet I haven\'t had a chance to ride them in the rain.
Milage to Date 1,200mi. Still looks like new.

I have one of these for my rear tire (front isn\'t ready to replace yet) but I\'m definately going with one of these for my front.
Awesome tire, I ride alot of twisties and do alot of daily interstate riding and I have found this tire works great in both situations.
I highly recommend this tire if you are looking to replace or upgrade what you are riding on now!
Michelin hit a grand slam with this tire, and the word is getting around fast.

These tires are amazing. I\'m loving them on my \'03 R6, even though I\'m only a couple hundred miles into them. I really have nothing bad to say about them. One question though, what kind of mileage are people getting out of them? I\'ve got 200 miles of hard twisties riding (ie no strips) but I still have the little michelin man on the edge of the tire. Seems to wear very well.

I personally got the street version at tire express for 143 it wouldve been 160 for the race. I started with the pilot sport thought it was a good tire but noticed slipping in turns in the canyon which it almost let loose now with the power I push it harder and it stays on line haven\'t stepped out on me since the change and they look so saxy I just want the baby get in ma belly.

i gotta go with the pack on this one, sticky, stable.

I put these on my bike and almost felt like it was on rails. Held tight and stable at all angles. Now that I got a few miles on them they seem to have lost that edge that I was used to, BUT it is still winter (if you can call it winter in vegas) and I'm thinking they should tighten up again when its a bit warmer. In all I would definatly recomend and will buy again.

What's not to like about these tires?
I just finished off a set of Michelin Pilot Power tires that did over 3500 miles on the street plus two track days before the plug in the back tire (which has been there since 300 miles) along with what looks like a piece of embedded glass got me concerned enough to replace them.
The tires honestly could have gone another 750 miles before hiting a single wear bar. I was heading to the track though and an abused and plugged tire wasn't exactly confidence inspiring so I decided it was time to retire them.
In June, these tires saw me through a 900 mile weekend of freeway riding when I traveled to SLC to watch the AMA races at Miller Motorsports Park. Very good freeway handling and stability @ 38 psi (though 40 to 44 would have been better).
Most of the mileage on these tires was agressive street riding on mountain roads that have been chip sealed and patched several times (in other words, very abrasive and uneven). I ran the tires at 32 psi on the track and on the street (except for the road trip) which was actually a bit lower than Michelin recommends but I never experienced any problems with that.
During my two track days, these tires really stuck to the track. When the did slip, it was because I wasn't using good form and was completely at the edge of the tire. Even then, they gave way very predictably and I had no problems regaining traction without incident. These were my first two track days so I'm not that fast but I certainly wasn't smooth either so the way they held under those circumstances is probably more impressive than if I was running fast, smooth laps every time.
Turn in was incredible on these tires as well. I thought they'd be a bit unstable when I saw the profile compared to the Dunlop 208's that I ran before but was pleasantly surprised that they could turn so quickly without sacrificing anything on a straight line.
