Power Race vs Power Race PR3 clarification

[Gixx1300R]

OK guys there seems to be alot of confusion about Michelin Power Race tires so I will try to clear some things up. Michelin has 2 versions of this tires. The Power Race and the Power Race PR series. The Power Race is a Street/Race tire. The Power Race PR tire is a street/race series tire that come in PR3,PR4 and PR5 models. You can only buy the PR series from a authorized Dealer. The PR series may look the same but they use a different carcass and different rubber compound for maximum traction. You cannot get a PR series tire in a 190 size(only 180).  Here are some pics.


This is a pic of the Power Race

As you can see it comes in different compounds

Here is pic of the tread pattern

Now here is a pic of a Power Race PR3. Notice there is no reference to a tire compound

Here is a pic of the tread patter. Looks familiar?

Here are both tires side by side

and here is the tire info on both

The Bottom line

Max grip with little mileage life-PR3

Good grip with good mileage life-Power Race

Good grip with max mileagle life-Michelin Pilot street
