Michelin Pilot Powers

[billbell]

I just got my Pilot Powera mounted today. Came home from work and threw the wheels back on. I didn't put many miles on other then in town and about 5 hwy miles but damn, it almost seems like it wants to steer herself now. I can't believe the noticable differenc even at low speed. Here's the good part. I bought the tires from bigjohn here on the board for $200. I took the wheels off myself and dropped them at the dealer to get tires mounted and balanced. The price.....$36.81 for both front and rear mounted and balances. Grand total of 236.81 for a great set of tires on the Busa. Last year, I had just a rear replaced, mounted and everything at the stealer for $240. What a difference! Thank god for the best Busa board on the net! WOOHOO!!!

I know what you mean, I just put a new set on mine last week and was smiling ear to ear. I found that while riding two up it's even more important that the rider doesn't wiggle around, the slightest weight shift and the bike turns. It's great.

Great price too! Congrats!

Congrats, I just got mine on last week, I didn't get the deal you did, but, it wasn't to bad. I agree about the tires and how easy they turn in. They are also alot stickier than the Avons I had on. I am curious to see what kind og mileage I get.

They are pretty damned good aren't they

 

[billbell]

Definitely seems to be one of the most popular tires on the board. I now can see why

Bought a new Triumph Speed Triple about a month ago.
It had Michelin Pilot Powers on from the factory. I certainly did appreciate that.

Hey Mad, I just checked out your website, this page says it was last updated July 11, 2002 Is that right?

I just put some Powers on mine as well. First ride, took it real easy, but my impression so far agrees with everyone else here. Great tires! I can't wait to get these things scrubbed in

Have some sitting at home waiting for their turn! Can't wait.

I will try a set soon, I have a spare set of wheels I'll have them mounted on and give them a try.

Yes, it's true. I have dedicated the last three years to benchrest shooting competition and haven't done much with my cars or website.

I had them installed 2 weeks ago and I hit the twisties last Sunday......Those tires stick like glue on turns and will not break.....Glad I chose those tires

Why does this not surprise me that you have "a spare set of wheels"

I am going to start checking your inventory of stuff to sell from now on before I look on the web.

My Pilot Powers arrived today and will have them on the 03 tomorrow .

Dayum, if you guys don't quit it with the accolades, I'm gonna be forced to take the B56 and smoke it into oblivion!

I've only got 1700 or so miles so far....got a little ways to go.

 

[billbell]

They feel great on the bike!

 

[LadyHawk]

Wow! I got mine put on today.. what a difference! Now I do "only" have a Katana.. but I can tell these are gonna be smooth around those corners. I had on Dunlops before.. and they were getting "Florida Flat".. so it took some Umph to get that bike to lean over. Just on the ride home, I'd lean just a bit and the bike would flop right over.

Twisties here I come!!

 

[theemrrdkill]
