Michelin Pilot Street Radial
Just trying these tyres for the first time and so far so good. They were a bit squirmy at high speeds while scrubbing them in but now seem fine after 500 miles or so. Based on the Michelin touring tyres I brought these in the hope of getting better mileage than the 3k per rear I have been getting from more sporty tyres like diablos and sportsmarts I had previously. Will be riding to Italy through the Swiss alps in less than 2 weeks time which will be the real test. So far not done much wet weather riding (for a change) but they seem pretty grippy and stop the bike fast too. Take a bit longer to warm up than the sporty tyres but that's a compromise I am willing to make for better mileage.
