Michelin Pilot Road 2

Just had a new Michelin Pilot Road 2 fitted to the back of my XT. Quite glad to see the back of the Pirelli. Hopefully this one should give me a bit more milage and a high level of grip. Here's some pics. I'll update this in a few weeks once I have worn all the top coat off (and I mean all of it!) to let you know what I think.

Some point too in the near future I plan to replace the front with a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT or maybe even something even stickier.... I know everyone loves pics so here are some!

I have a pilot road 2 on the rear of my xtx as well and seem quite impressed with it so far.

It will be interesting to see how it works with the Pirelli on the front. One thing I dont like about the pirellis is the grip, slip, grip again feel it has. So I am quite looking forward to putting something really sticky on the front - cos lets face it I only bought this thing to throw round corners.

But needs must, and the uglyness of the standard cans must go before new front tire. I need more sound (as well as more grip). Doesnt help when the person you ride with (richard) has some CCCs that make my bike sound like a wet fart.
