This is an "add-on" to my previous comparison...

The Pilot Powers
Front tire



Rear tire



Well what can I say, these tires are good.
They are on par with the Pirelli Diablos,
and despite the ride being once again even
more spirited the Pilot Powers held up better
then either previous tire (although they are much softer).
They heat up really quickly and become almost
pasty, they stay together pretty well (don't get as ruffled).
I must say though that the Diablos were much better in the rain...
Hopefully when I get a chance I will put together a better comparison...
On a less sleepy note:
A new term for riding has come out of these tires,
"I'm off to kill the michelin man"
