Geez i still remember that crash... Shocked that you dont like Pilot Powers (loosebruce loved them) But stick with what you like....

BTW Michelins are the dogs bollocks

Hey TS long time no see, looks like Iv'e started a real shit fight here!
When I rode the M3's they gave me a really positive feedback of roadsurface and all twitches and slides when entering certain corners too fast felt really predictable, normally I would give a tyre a really good run to be sure of how I felt about them, plus on Saturday there were a couple of patches that had molten tar so that could have been some of the squirmishness I felt!

Still gonna go with what I'm comfortable with though.

Well i shot out and whipped the wheels off the TL ready for the morning,i feel so much better about PP's after reading some of these posts

Vagabond, go with what you feel is best for you, because you're the one riding on them.No one else.

As we know, so much of motorcycle riding comes down to confidence, and if you've got no confidence in you're tyres (doesn't matter what they are) you're not going to enjoy it as much.

Interesting comments, it sounds like the Powers work well when warm, but not so well in normal road riding.
Which is what most of us do.
That's the feedback that is really valuable.

In many tests the PP's are quicker to get up to temp than most others. The M3's take longer in normal riding - Fact (from PB/Superbike magazine tests etc)
As for squirmishness I don't feel it on my K5-1000 but then everyones suspension setup/riding style is different.
I love the PP's they're a great tire with decent tread wear. I've done my dash of supersticky tyres and to be honest the PP's are within the ballpark in terms of outright grip anyway. They will never have the massive grip of Pilot Power Races etc but for the money they are excellent and last pretty well.
General consensus is that PP's and M3's are excellent.

Vagabond, Try playing with your suspension, a better understanding will dial out any traction problems instead of blaming the tyres. All tyres are different and one suspension setting won't give the same performance across the board! Odds are the PP's would become a lot more confidence inspiring for you with a little tweak here and there.

If you want added Squirmishness, get some old Pilot Race's, they were scary as shit until warm on the road.

Yeah well having to play with the suspension was something I was trying to avoid, anyways the deal is done and I have my beloved M3's on!

Shit even riding home in this pouring rain they inspired confidence

i highly recommend going to see Shaun to set your suspension up, honestly, its money (and not that much money) well spent

Got to admit I have been toying with the idea, and have had a little play with mine but am working on what feels good for me so that means trial and error, with no experience to back my decisions up!

Will have to set something up after the crazy season!

You wont regret it
