Michelin Power RS

[piratediverjefff]

Believe I'll order up a pair(120/70 and 190/50)on Monday morning,should get around 4,000 miles out of them like the last 2 sets of Michelins(which is 3 years per set for me ).Ran a 47T sprocket with a 200/55,will now switch to a 45T.

I'm extremely pleased with the mileage of my Pilot Road 5s so far. Currently at 53XX and will be adding another couple hundred starting tomorrow morning when I get off shift.

Is this tire good for drag racing

I started with the Michelin Power Ones on my turbo bike in '08(the hot tire at the time for drag racing),then the Michelin Power Supersports,am now finishing off the Michelin Powersport Evos and on to the Power RS.All were pretty much the same other than sidewall rigidity and only good for about 4,000 miles on the rear(could probably get 6,000 out of the fronts but I always replace as a set).Super sticky for the street or track and no more than I ride these days work out great for me.Seems most people these days use a Shinko Hook-Up at the track,but I'm guessing these would work out just about equally well and still be a better quality tire for the street.

I bought a power rs for my bike. It hooks a lot better then the shinko hook up on the street. I haven't tested on the track yet. But on the street it's pretty good.

Thanks for the positive review bro,going to order up a pair today.Should be fine for the street riding/occasional roll on(try to keep up with Red )I do.

for drag racing ?

Make friends with somebody that rides a small displacement track bike . . .

You will get a FREE drive tire with plenty of meat in the middle *

I would recommend a 60 series tire for drag racing .

Try it out & see how it works for yourself !

You can not beat the price .

60 series that's huge. I wouldn't go that big. Bike would be slower. You need big tire when you have big power. A buddy of mine goes low 8 with a shiny hook up 190 50 tire
