Michelin Power GP

I've run several sets of Power GPs on three different motorcycles. I do street/track riding, which is exactly what the tires are for. They are excellent. Comfortable riding, great feedback, cheaper than S22s. I tried RS11s then went right back to the Power GPs. Do grip is excellent and I've either never had them slip, or they slipped with so little drama that I didn't notice, and I do ride pretty hard. I've logged nearly 20k km on four sets. You read that correctly. I only get about 5-6k km out of a set, but I have glorious twisty roads so around me and they get pushed every ride. The GPs have never slipped in the wet, but I do ride cautiously in wet conditions. They will do fine for wet street riding. They perform fine in the winter on cold roads too, just don't get to overconfident. A buddy did and laid his bike down. He admits it was more his fault than the tires. Now the GP2 is out. I'll probably give those a try next.

I had the Power RS's on my 2013 Yamaha MT 09, and they were outstanding compared with the previous 2 makes I had tried before. Now they are on my 2018 MT 09. These Power GP's are a least a step up from the power RS's if not more. I ran them in on two ride outs, and they had amazing grip from the get go. Halfway into the first ride, they were so sure footed that I actually forgot that I was running them in. I didn't go at silly speeds about 50/70 ish, with no sharp acceleration and no hard braking. Now they are giving me so much confidence (especially the front end feel ) that I am just relaxing into the ride and enjoying it more.. Now they are run in, they track corners with you head direction. IE, as you turn your head to look through the bend for the exit the bike follows your where you are looking. Also on a long slow ish bend I tried tightening and opening my line with counter steer, and the bike just went with my inputs no more no less. To finish up the score of 8 for the wet grip, is from my experience with the RS's. As I havn't got caught out in the rain yet with the GP's. I hope this helps you to give them a try. I honestly think these are the best tires I have ever ridden on. I have been riding on and off since the 1963, with Drum Brakes and Cross Ply Tires Stan
