D3vilCbR : The best tyres are those that suit ur riding purpose. If the idea is 80% track, ur answer is Pilot Race. If 80% street, take the Pilot Sports. Theres not much tyres nowadays that go at SGD 300, although with continental sport attack and maxxis sportmaxx are also in the SGD 300 range.

 

cmR6 : How do find the tyres other than it being good? How does it feel while u are negotiating SG bends. Stable ? What about straight line stability? Is it easy to flick while at speed ? E-brake how ? What tyre pressure were u running on cos pressure makes a big difference on how a tyre reacts to a situation.

[sports rider]

Michelin have brought out a new tyre pilot power they are verry good on my CBR 600

hot dry weather,u can literally feel d tyres grip on d road.very confident goin in/out a bend wit extra throttle trust.very stable indeed.air pressure is at recommended psi.

ride at 255kmh no prob.braking in short distance,no swerving at all.bear in mind tat my bike not equip wit steering damper n previously had crashed accdnt wit a taxi.

of coz u h 2 consider other factors like d rd condition,weather n bike parts history.

 

other peeps may not agree but tats ey opnion rite.other gd quality tyres available in d market s long s u got d $.riding style,skills n main use purpose play sum part in choosing d rite tyres.(road/track).

Your pic quite sometime ago one.....that Pilot Race no longer in production. If you go to the more updated websites, there's info on Pilot Power, which Michelin claims 1 star more on track compared to Pilot Sports.

 

$300 for a pair of Pilot Sports quite impossible.....Michelins tends to be in the $400 and above range for Class 2 bikes.
