Michelin Pilot Power 2CT Motorcycle Tire Hp/Track Rear 180/55-17 73W

Great tire, super transitions out of corners and sticky enough to get you out of trouble when you go in a little hot!

I just ordered my second one of these for the rear on my 2005 bandit 1200s. Extremely great handling. I regularly ride through twisty roads at high speeds and feel comfortable going around pretty decent curves at over 100 mph. The center wore down pretty quick, but I love opening it up in a straight line sometimes. It's always fun to see how fast I can get going before barreling into another nice long curve in the road that can only be appreciated at high speeds.Overall, great tires for the money. Soft compound makes cornering great but don't think you're going to be able to slap these on and start diving into the curves like you're in the isle of man. Know your limits before you take these suckers into the corners hard. I've crashed more than once because of putting too much trust in my tires and not enough focus on weight distribution.

It’s good quality

Great price

My 2004 Yamaha R6 orignally came stock with some Dunlaps. I replaced my rear with a Pilot Power upon a motorcycle shop's recommendation and I was amazed at the difference. These tires are super sticky. I live in the Northwest where there's varying pavement types, dry to wet weather, and plenty of traffic. These tires are responsive for emergency manuevering, work great on sharp lean ins with the rubber sticky down to the edges, and they don't need to be excessively "warmed up" before they are sticky. My last rear lasted decently and I'm happy to repurchase a replacement and add on the fronts as well. The merchant I purchased it through shipped it free and within the time frame promised. I'm very pleased.

Just getting to the end of my first rear (front is still in great shape!) and have put almost 5,000 miles on it, including two track days. I really like the feel of them and these should serve anyone well for pure street use or track day up to the higher level Intermediate or lower level Advanced rider. One thing to be aware of is that these tires do not like the lower pressures that are common at the track. I'm riding at a lower Intermediate pace and found the sweet spot between 34-36 with sunny weather in the upper 80's...

I got these for my Kawasaki zzr 600. And i'm impressed!Definitely much better than the Metzeler Sportec M3's or the previous Dunlop tires i've owned, in my opinion. It has noticeably much better grip, even in the wet, than the Metzelers (M3). Therefore much more confidence inspiring when i ride. The rubber quality is excellent. I say the tires have a "bounce" to them. I get a good feel of the road when i ride, so the overall ride experience is much better. It's so good, it's like i have a brand new bike!I can't speak for the longevity of these tires (i've only put about 1500 miles [2414.016 km] on them so far), but if you're looking for some good rubber for your sportbike, check these tires out.

Cant compare to anything, I've only used these tires on gsxr 600. But I can tell you they are great in the rain.Also you can lean these down with confidence. When I was a new rider I was going way to fast into a corner at night, I was 100% sure I was not going to make it. I was pushing 95mph. The only choice I had was push hard on the countersteer. I still wasn't going to make it so I said screw it and pushed down harder. It was the smoothest exit and I was shaken up bad. But that experience is the reason why I will never consider any other tire. These are life savers if you have balls. ps slow down if you new.....
