I just ordered a set of pilot powers, seeming they have been recommended highly here in the forums for tread life and maneuverability.
I noticed on Michelins web site that the sports are recommended. Is there really all that big of a difference? I ride on the weekends and also commute a good ways, but all on the freeway.
I also noticed the compound on the tyres was soft, "really" soft, almost like i could dig it out with my fingernail, but I'm guessing that's just because of the silicon content and won't affect the durability much. Is there any safety reasons I may want to go with a sport instead of a power, for instance speed and weight? They all appeared to be Z rated anyway.
Sorry for all the noob questions, just new to all this tyre business. And for around $350 for the pair, I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing.
