MICHELIN Road Tires Positioning Chart
You don't have to be world champion to get your hands on Michelin MotoGP tire technology. Pilot Power tires use a rubber mix that was originally developed for MotoGP racing, and a tread pattern that covers less than 12% of the tires surface. The result is a maximum lean angle of 50.6 degrees on dry pavement and 41.9 degrees in the wet, achieved with a stock sportbike. How did we do it? When your test riders are winning on 230-horsepower MotoGP bikes, you learn a few things about performance.
- Rubber compound reaches operating temperature quickly
- Incredible cornering grip
- Impressive durability for a high-performance tire
- Designed for high-performance sportbikes
- Suitable for street or track use
- MotoGP-derived rubber mix
- Tread pattern covers less than 12% of the tire surface, for phenomenal cornering adhesion.
- "These are the best street tires I've ever ridden in my life." Roadracing World
- Synthetic rubber mix derived from MotoGP tire technology, formulated to maintain consistent performance even at advanced stages of tire wear.
- 50.6 maximum lean angle in the dry, as measured at the Michelin test track

Works on the Busa.
These work really well on my hayabusa, and even if you don't have that much skill at cornering as experienced riders, these help get your confidence up. For sure would recommend these any new - experienced riders out there. Cheeers.

Pneu de confiance
J'utilise ce pneu sur ma CBR 600 F4i. L'usure est en fonction du pilotage. Accélération robuste, freinage ou freinage sur compression détermine la durée de vie du pneu. Pour ma part, j'ai un conduite assez agressive et le pneu répond toujours bien. Par temps chaud ou froid, il colle bien et aucune surprise. Pour mon style de conduite, en moyenne je sors 7000-8000 km de distance par pneu. Se balance très facilement (le dernier..3/4oz ). De plus, prend super bien les courbes sur la route (je ne fait pas de compétition-Track). J'adore ce Michelin, qualité-prix-fiabilité. Je ne peux commenter la traction sous la pluie car il ne m'arrive pratique jamais de rouler sur l'eau :-)

Excellent tire
Very Happy with this tire, warms up quick and just sticks. Have put on 1000km so far and is wearing awesome. Last tire was a Pilot 3, I don't notice any difference with these tires in the corners. These are actually better.

Second set of these tires!
These tires are the best bang for your buck! They may not last you very long if you like to ride on straight roads, but they are a wicked tire to have on when you may want to get into a corner harder than your usual riding. The grip will be waiting for you. If you don't get into corners that often, these tires may not be the best choice for you.

Excellent
2009 ZX-6R. Last tires Pirelli Super Corsa III, found it really numb at high lean angles, which killed my confidence. Switched to these tires and was instantly comfortable all the way to the edge of the tire.

Questions
Hi what's the difference between the various specs for the front tire? I.e 120/70/17 e spec or 120/70/17 J spec Thanks
The specs are for vehicle-specific OEM replacements. E spec is for Honda and P spec is for Yamaha.
