Michelin pilot power 2ct tyres

Post by osbxrt » Mon Feb 29, 2016 1:30 pm

I have not used Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tyres but I have used dozens of Avon Storms.Does anyone know how the wear rate compares, at the moment they are the same price[rears].

I cant compare to the Avon, but I can say that the Pilot Powers are excellent

They last pretty well, more than 12000km out of the last set and I have not once felt any loss of grip, very confidence inspiring.

The only caveat is that I am in Australia so getting heat into tyres is generally a non issue, might be in the UK so hopefully somebody with local experience can comment

I used them last year on the track. Nice tire, predictable, long tirelife...good tire for road use, very good in the rain also.
