You cannot go wrong with Pilot Power 2CT!
I have installed these tires to DRZ400 and XR650R supermotos (the 150 rear does rub on the xr650r chian..I hope they offer these in the stock Yamaha R3 sizes eventually!!), GSXR1100, Yamaha FZ1 gen 1 and 2, and Kawasaki Z1000, as a casual wkend rider I prioritize overall grip and tire feel/feedback, longevity is the last concern, with that in mind these are excellent tires very confidence inspiring. I have been in emergency braking situations with these tires and will continue to use them as long as Michelin makes them.
Great grip,not designed to last long if you wanna have fun.
This is purely out of self experience. This tyre has great grip but it is not the right tyre for anyone looking to have some fun on their bike like wheelies or ripping out of the twistys. I have put about 5000 k’s on the rear tyre on a 600cc and its already time for a replacemant. Right now ill replace it again with a pilot power 2ct but when the front wears out im definitely switching to the Road 6’s
Stick to it.
Tires seem to wear good, I have over 4000 km on the rear now, and it is starting to get a flat spot. I just bought a new rear so when the day comes I will be ready. my bike never handled as well as it does with these tires. I don't drive in the rain so I have no idea how they are in the wet.
win win tire
I have been thru 4 sets of tires this summer and these are my favorite so far. They handled very well and gave me a very confident feeling on my 2023 BMW S1000XR. I got 6000 miles out of the rear and 8500 on the front. All my riding was on good roads in Maine. Competitively priced, confident handling and long wear life, I would have purchased them again but they were out of stock.
Bad on Longevity
Over all these tires are great, they don’t lose traction at all but I’ve put only 3,000 miles on my rear tire and already need to get it replaced, no burnouts, wheelies, or anything stupid
Elijah1227, thank you for your feedback. The wear of a tire can vary depending on riding style, usage, load, riding conditions, and proper inflation. It is always recommended to take your bike to a local dealer for inspection to see if there could be any underlying conditions.

Great experience
I was surprised by traction these tires has on track and on daily basis driving.
Love them but I got a defective one from a shady dealership
I bought a set of these from a zx14r ninja about 8-9 weeks ago from a place in CT I put about 5500 miles on them so far and no NO BURN OUTS OR SPINNING road use only I keep my traction control on and I have a massive flat surface I still have lots of tread left I’ve never had this problem before I’ve loved these tires on every single bike I’ve ever owned hopefully this was a defective tire but the place i bought the tires from said that I was doing burn outs and they won’t even look at the tires to see how much tread is left to prove I haven’t done any

Awesome longevity at the circuit
Have been running the PP2CT’s on my 2009 Repsol CBR1000RR at Suzuka Circuit in Japan. They have outlasted Bridgestone Battlax sport-touring rubber + Dunlop a-14 track tires to an ASTONISHING degree. Without ever compromising grip. Absolutely uncanny. Ride Suzuka about 1 day a month, 2 or 3 30-minute sessions per day. Mostly in cooler temps. Haven’t tracked them in the heat yet but I only ride when it cools downs a bit regardless.
10K Miles of Smiles and Confidence
Purchased these for my Honda. It was a garage find classic with old, dry Metzler rubber and 350 original miles. Purchased the PP2CT in 2009 and put 10k miles on them over 15 years. Always garaged and they held up wonderfully. Always inspiring confidence when I lean in on the twist mountain roads. 2nd set on the bike now. Last set was run a bit over inflated for commuting with backpack and 2 up riding. This set I hope to run at a lower pressure and see what I can get. Thanks Michelin!
My 5th set of these same tires
I’m so happy with this tire I don’t even think about taking a chance with something else. Great performance, longevity and good in the rain. They are very predictable giving you lots of feedback. A great road tire
