Michelin Pilot Sport information

[OB_KawAbuser]

There is a very interesting article on the street use of Michelin Pilots vs Michelin Pilot Sports.

This may offer some information to those who are deciding between the race tire and the street-sport version.

Thanks Kawabuser excellent article. I was originally going to get the Pilot Race compound tires, but now after reading the article I think I will go with with the Sport compound.

Very good article, I read the article of just the test in Las Vegas, but your article was more informative. Thanks for the info. Kawabuser, how fast have you been on the pilot sports? Do you think that it has longer life than the 56j? If its holding up ok, these tires will be my next set of tires, especially since the bt56's dont grip well on colder days..............My main worry is i do 90% high speed riding although I dont really average over 140, but I do take it to 180-190 all the time..........the most i can get out of the battlax is 2500 miles. I'd like to get more if I could. Heck thats a tire change for every oil change..................

does anyone know who is carrying the 200 series pilot tire?

 

[OB_KawAbuser]

The 200 is yet to be released, the 190 works just fine for the time being.

It is not like these tires are going to be on this bike that long anyway.
