Michelin Pilot Road 2

http://www.michelin.co.uk/uk/front/a...odeRubrique=66

I had a set of michelin roads on my gsxr1100wt when i had it, they seamed like a good sport touring tire, never had any problems with them.

They have now gone dual compound (like the power 2ct)

'Best mileage*

Best wet grip*

* Confirmed by independent tests compared to our 6 top European competitors in the same category

Longest Mileage
1st Michelin Pilot Road 2
2nd= Bridgestone BT-020
2nd= Dunlop D220ST
4th Pirelli Diablo Strada
5th= Bridgestone BT-021
5th= Metzler Roadtec Z6
5th= Continental Road Attack

Don't we have a sport touring forum? Isnt this due one of those infraction thingys?

I'd like to know what their test bike was. I'm currently getting way better mileage out of a Conti Road Attack than I have ever got out of an 020.

No Gav we don't.

Does that mean your post is one of those infraction thingys?

Better than an infarction...

This more of a general, since its a sport touring tire, but can be used on a wide range of bikes.

if anything might belong in the 'Brakes – Wheels – Tyres' section

Might just be the new set of tires for me on the XX after my SI trip.

No. Because 90% of riders should be using S/T tyres.

Cycletreads say within the next couple of months.

I thought the pilot roads were already dual compound?

I'd be looking at those when I need to change the rear, but I'll usually run something a little more sticky on the front, pilot sport generally..
