Great experience. Ride is a little quieter, Michelins are great on snow and ice, no perceptible change in range for me at least. Almost 2k total after certs that’s the only thing I don’t like. 31k miles on the pirellis about 5k in on the new Michelins. I drive a gen1 R1T quad.
but tbh michelin is the top brand for a reason, i’ve seen them last for literally 100k miles
Michelins all day! Just a good tire ran them on my hayabusa an my CBR. I’ve actually ran all 3 the pirelli did well but wear was not very good. Anther thing push them hard an didn’t feel like there was any warning before that let go, Dunlop was pretty good but I felt like took them a while to get warmed up? Wear waster pretty good though.
Michelin x-ice snow. Never had an issue with them in icy, snowy conditions
I use the Michelin Road on my Hypermotard and R6 before that. Amazing tire for any street use.
Michelin Power 6 - I’m only 1000 miles in on my Trident 660 but I cannot see any dramatic wear yet. Grippier than the Road 5/6 but should still last at least 5-6k.
Look at the NANKANG line. Start at NS2R. I use them on my Exige. But use a softer compound. If you need “more”, the AR1 are THE ones to take. But there is a new Kid on the block. NANKANG CRS. For that amount of monney, you wil hardly find a better tire.
The Michelin Primacy 4 plus extra load is not a bad option for the 86. Bit less grip for more fun, good durability compared to the pilot sport. Little bit cheaper too.
Previously I had Michelin Defender xlt. While I would prefer a more pavement oriented tire the Coopers where the only load range E tires I could get on a 3 day turnaround when I needed them.
I liked the Michelins but the xl load rating was just too squirmy while towing a 7000lb trailer.
Had the legendary Michelin CrossClimate 2 on my HiHy. They sucked in the heavy, wet snow that I drive in, especially when it's 4" deep or more... the tires just spin (Nokian WR's do better in this regard). Need to put into Trail mode to get unstuck. They are suited for after the plows come through.
