Cool. Good link. Just wish I'd see someone do a comparo for something other than the typical superbike situation... Then again, that is the name of the magazine
PS - good to see Jonathan working again... he was one of my favorite testers at Bike [uk]...
EDIT: Actually, the test says he's 16 at the time -- so it has to be an older test, right? I think he's 19 or 20 now...
Cheers

so i take it by looking at the test the Michelin Pilot power tires are pretty damn good. Is the sportec m1 similar to the Z6 ROADTEC? Cause thats what i eneded up ordering and they will be here today. I went with those due to opinions i asked for here. The guy at the dealer told me the pilot power was the best right now, but i hadnt heard anything about it. OF COURSE up until now" The key to Immortality., is first living a life worth remembering." -St Augustine

I use the M1's and they get real stick when they get up to temperature. Yes they will not last longe enough but they will do you for the riding season.

ARGGGG i just got my tires ..they sent me pilot power tires ????????? my reciept to my email showed metzeler and they send me these. what irony. SHould i just keep these tires ? i know its my decision, but this is my first tire change and going from the macadam to ANYTHING will be much better anywya.
I also just noticed the rear tire is 180/55/17 when i ordered 160/60/17. Is this too big for the kat ? I've heard you actually lose some agility with bigger tires..at least on the kat" The key to Immortality., is first living a life worth remembering." -St Augustine

(B) Let us all know who screwed up your order this badly.

The website was www.americanmototire.com .
Im going to take the tire to my dealer and see if they'll swap me sizes.I know they have this exact model tire, but after the review i think i'll stick with this brand and save me another 3 weeks, if not longer, in waiting time."
