Sticky AF
These tires were on my brand new Duke 890R and I love them. My first experience with Michellin and so far I love them.

The Best Sport-Focused tire
I'm on my fourth set of PCIIs with my gsxr1k track bike and all I can say is, wow. These tires perform as well, and last longer, than any other manufacturer's offering in this class. I get 30% more sessions compared to others. That said, my longevity rating is based on pure track use. I can get about 5-600mi out of a set, on track, and that, to me, is amazing. This is not a street bias tire. If you're expecting to get 1000mi+ look elsewhere - this is not the tire for you. If you want a very predictable, even-wearing, long lasting, no-tire-warmer track tire that performs confidently at full wear, this is what you're looking for. I'm sure this tire will perform phenomenally on the street, as well, but you'll be burning them up quickly. Keep the above in mind and I think you'll find this tire quite satisfying, and well worth the money. [Haven't tested in wet conditions and this is an obligatory field so only 1 star reported so as to fulfill this requirement]

Superb trackday tire!
Awesome tire, I run them on trackdays and they hook amazing, the front is just top notch, you can feel the grip and it just hooks. The rear is great, and you can feel it when it starts to get a little lose. I recommend running warmers with these on the track so you don’t get a cold tear and shred the tires quickly. I use warmers and they wear amazingly. Cold pressure I started with 31front and 23rear in 60f weather which ended up with to high of pressure coming off the track (38front and 30rear). Lowered pressure to 34.5 front and rear 25psi hot(check temp coming off the track) that was the perfect psi and the bikes hooked brutal, pulling the front wheel of the ground coming out of the corner. (21 panigale v2). Enjoy this tire is superb and I wish Michelin would do a better way of explaining the tire more in depth(such as pirelli, dunlop etc) and marketing sucks also.

Great Tires
Rear 3000Miles on street with 1 Track day on Tuono V4, leaving black stripes on all my favorite turns. Front still has 50% life left. Anything over 60f+, need a bit of heat to start doing it's work. Track HOT 34F/24R Street Cold 33F/34R

Great street tires!
I don't know if the OEM Power Cup 2s are different from the aftermarket Power Cup 2s like is sometimes the case. The Power Cup 2s that came on my Duke 890R were amazing. I read they are coming as OEM on the new Super Duke 1290 RR as well. They warmed up instantly and offered amazing grip and feedback on the street. I like them more than the Q4s I replaced them with. I'm trying a set of Super Corsa SP V3s after the Q4s for comparison. We'll see if I don't go back to the Power Cup 2s after the Pirellis. The Power Cup 2s lasted 1300 miles to the wear bars. The Q4s feel almost as good and lasted closer to 1600 miles. I didn't try them in the wet and this less than ideal web form doesn't let you state that so they got one star.
