Interestingly, reading the latest superbike magazine they did a tyre test of sporty tyres (not race/road tyres) but everyday type with the odd trackday.
Michelin Pilot Powers topped the charts.
The new Metzeler M3 finished 4th......
I was considering the M3 before I bought the Powers but the interesting point and something I've never seen before in a tyre test is testing the cold braking distances ie. tyre not up to track temps, as in everyday motorway/commuting
The M3 was one of the worst.
From 70mph to 0mph it took 30.9metres to stop![]()
The Pilot Power and most of the others did it in 25m........
That extra 6 metres could be the bit that kills you especially as the last few metres is where the majority of your speed is dropped.
