MichelinPilot Power 2CT Motorcycle Tire Hp/Track Rear 180/55-17 73W

Cant compare to anything, I've only used these tires on gsxr 600. But I can tell you they are great in the rain.Also you can lean these down with confidence. When I was a new rider I was going way to fast into a corner at night, I was 100% sure I was not going to make it. I was pushing 95mph. The only choice I had was push hard on the countersteer. I still wasn't going to make it so I said screw it and pushed down harder. It was the smoothest exit and I was shaken up bad. But that experience is the reason why I will never consider any other tire. These are life savers if you have balls. ps slow down if you new.....

Data:Rear Mileage - 7,500 miles to first touching wear indicator. Additional 1,500-3,000 before change.Front Mileage - SameManufacture Dates from this SellerRear Born-On Date - Ordered April 2020 - Born On Date 0619 (Week 6 of 2019)Front Born-On Date - Ordered Feb 2020 - Born On Date 0819 (Week 8 of 2019)So I received tires about 1 year in warehouse. I'm totally ok with that. They'll only live another 2 years tops.I've been tracking personal mileage on various tires since 1993 (Metzeler, bridgestone Battleax, Pirelli Diablo, and lots of Dunlop). Used on various 600 Ninja Models, and now the Ducati 848 Evo. Hundreds of thousands of miles logged. This tire, Michelin Pilot Power 2CT (front and rear), is the best combo I've come up with so far. I ride about 250 days/year. Lots of highway. No racetrack for the current bike. Just all around aggressive street riding. Keep in mind, these are all high performance tires, so when I say best so far, the margins are slim; they're all pretty good, but comparatively speaking I think these are the best.My criteria are mileage, performance when I need it (cornering on streets/highways) without having to think if I can make it, softness without having to achieve high temperatures, braking/take-off grip, roundness shape retention and pressure retention. All around the best hybrid tire not exclusively for high mileage, or exclusively for track performance.Tires are received unboxed, with label taped around rubber. Manufacturers barcode sticker is always present on the bead, or whatever it's called. I hope you guys find these data points helpful. In my experience, getting up to 10,000 miles on a sportbike tire is insane. I plan to stick with these for a long time to come.

Love them on fz07

Just getting to the end of my first rear (front is still in great shape!) and have put almost 5,000 miles on it, including two track days. I really like the feel of them and these should serve anyone well for pure street use or track day up to the higher level Intermediate or lower level Advanced rider. One thing to be aware of is that these tires do not like the lower pressures that are common at the track. I'm riding at a lower Intermediate pace and found the sweet spot between 34-36 with sunny weather in the upper 80's...

I got these for my Kawasaki zzr 600. And i'm impressed!Definitely much better than the Metzeler Sportec M3's or the previous Dunlop tires i've owned, in my opinion. It has noticeably much better grip, even in the wet, than the Metzelers (M3). Therefore much more confidence inspiring when i ride. The rubber quality is excellent. I say the tires have a "bounce" to them. I get a good feel of the road when i ride, so the overall ride experience is much better. It's so good, it's like i have a brand new bike!I can't speak for the longevity of these tires (i've only put about 1500 miles [2414.016 km] on them so far), but if you're looking for some good rubber for your sportbike, check these tires out.
