Michelin pilot powers
- Thread starter bigdr
- Start date
If you go to michelins website and compare the "spiderweb charts" the Pilot Powers actually score 5 stars in wet weather handling vs the Pilot Sports 4 Stars...they also claim that the Powers use a race compound rubber that stays soft and still yeilds high traction performance even when the tire is considerably worn....basically?...it appears to be a "Pilot Race" compound with just a touch more sipping/tread area.

One more for the powers ta RichI would choose Pilot Powers over the Bridgestone BT014's
blah blah blahI would choose Pilot Powers over the Bridgestone BT014's
Tires seem to be such an issue like briefs vs. boxers... whatever u like buy it. I rode about 100 miles in the rain on powers and I had less slip than any onther tire I have had rain or shine.
Former tires :
Bridgestone BT 56's
BT 010's
Pirelli Diablo
Dunlop D208
Powers are my current fav and I plan to buy another rear after laguna. I have about 3 K on the set and they are holdin up well, I burned thru the Pirelli's in about 1800 miles.

Well, if you're taking votes and counting who would get what I'll say Powers. I don't hate the BT014's but I still like Powers a LOT. When the stock 014's are gone I'm pretty sure I'll get Powers for the 6.
I can vouch for the 14's pulling throttle wheelies in the rain! They will also stick well enough to do clutch wheelies in the rain but you have to be a bit gentle or they will slip.
Wet pavement is the best way to learn to do burnouts! Easy on the tires as well.
