Hey guys it's been a while since I posted but I need some advice was wondering if you lot could help. I'm after a new set of tyres front and rear and was looking at the michelin pilot power 3's. My bike is my toy and doesn't really tend to get wet I don't tent to do to many motorway miles and would much rather have the extra dry grip what does every one else use. And it goes with out saying I'm looking at duel compound. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated. cheers
New tyre time opinions please..??

had a set on mine, the soft compound on the rear is to narrow and when it wears you get a nasty step from the harder compound to the soft one, could feel it a lot when you tipped in. also crap over cats eyes. couldn't wait to get them off in the end.
got dunlop 212 on now, about a billion times better than the michelin.

If I have to keep putting the Corsa's on I'll have to sell the bike. Not even lasting a riding season will make them cost prohibitive. If the Metzlers don't square off as easily (I do some straight highway going to work) I"m going with them after the winter.

Usually at the top of the apple tree.
Try the Angel GT's mucker, I had the ST's on twice and was delighted with them but the newer GT's are better imo.
The majority of my riding is on wet or damp, cold tarmac and I trust them.
At the end of the day it's horses for courses and you can't fault what your confident with.

Don't know about the GT's but I got over 6 thou miles from the rear ST's, both sets of rears were through to the wire when they came off, I like to get my monies worth.
