    Tyres

    Since I have owned my VFR750 f-l, which has been 2 years now I have had 2 sets of tyres, it came with Metzlers Z4 tyres which were iffy but OK in the dry and down right awful in the wet but I could get to the edge of them,
    Next was Dunlops, this was a mistake, awful tyre, the bikes balance was ruined, it felt like it was falling into corners although the dry grip level was OK the wet again was ropy.

    I have recently put on a set of Michelin pilot roads, I have had Pilots powers on my Z1000 for a few years now and love them so was hopeful well after the first 50 miles I was at the edge of the rubber. The bike was happy as anything, so much more grip and the profile is perfect, With in an hour I was scraping the pegs on some of my favourite B road corners.

    This was fine as it was dry, then last week on some god awful rain the pilot roads again came to their own, the grip was fantastic, no scary moments and the confidence to push in the wet was fantastic. Although I have still have better confidence on my Zed but it's a newer bike with uprated Ohlins suspension.

    Anyone wanted good confidence inspiring tyres, get the fat mans rubber .Michelins

    Had a pilot road 2 on my CBR900RR rear, even wear and got 11000 miles out of it without any problems. Good grip in warm and cold NZ winter

    Just fitted a pair of Michelin Pilot Road 2's CT to my CBR 600 F after having a pair of Continental attack , What a great tyre , I have only done 300 miles on them and already I am more confident on these then the last 6 months on another tyre. already trying to get my knee down. I mainly do weekend runs out on twisty roads and the tyre feels stable and planted, I cant really comment on how many miles i will get but should see at least 5000. I was seriously considering some bridgestones as they ...

    'Michelin Pilot Road' are a very reassuring tyre, just make sure tyre pressures are correct as this makes a big difference, recommended and long lasting.

    Standard fitment by honda on my 06 / 600 honda hornet, what a great tyre, they give good feedback and good grip in the wet, just got back from portugal over the pyrenees, tyres coped well in the twisties in the mountains and have lasted 7900 miles front and back, I ride fairly hard so I am suprised they lasted so long, will replace at 8000 mil ...

    Long lasting considering (3,500 mile up to now), Hold the road well enough to get your knee down. I do a lot of motorway type riding as well as twisters and the wear rate is fairly even.
    I will replace them for the same tyre when the time comes, as I am very pleased with them and they give me plenty of grip. Good all round tyre for me and meet my needs so why change. Bike: Ducatti 999.

    The Michelin Pilot Road is a good stable motorbike tyre that makes my lardy ZZR11 feel quite sporty as quite a few "sports" bike riders that I have gone past will testify. They last well and give good grip both dry and wet and last well too.
    Just going to have a set of the newer Pilot Road 2Ct's fitted on Thursday so will let you know. Watch this space.

    I ride a 2006 Honda Fireblade which I bought from new and came with Pirelli Corsa Diablo's. I got 4k from the rear tyre & 7.5k from the front which isn't bad. I then decided to go for a set of dual compound tyres as most of my riding is commuting on straight roads and the Pirelli rear would rapidly square off. My initial concern was weather I would still get good grip in the corners from DC tyre's as I still like to get the knee down on occasions.I eventually chose a set of Michelin Pilot Road 2 ...

    The Michelin Pilot Road tyres came fitted to my new BMW F800ST. I tested the same bike with a set of Metzeler SportTecs before signing on the dotted line. I was pleasantly surprised to get the Michelins, as you may know that it's a bit of a lottery what tyres you get when buying a new bike (I had hoped for a set of Continental Attacks). These Michelins make the handling and feedback of the F800ST even better. I didn't buy them, so I can't comment on price. They feel super-sticky to the touch so ...

    The Michelin Pilot tyres grip very well in wet or dry conditions. They were as good as any tyre I have used, but they didn't have the life of the Dunlop tyres that I normally use.

    I would recommend these tyres for 600cc motorcycles, but if you have anything bigger you would kill these tyres in a few dozen fast rides. If you want grip and life out of a tyre go for a Dunlop 208.

    Very comfortable tour tyre, with possibity for sporty performance. Michelin Pilot Road provides spectacular grip in both wet and dry. Very good handling and stability at all speeds. Good balance between treadwear and performance.
