Michelin Pilot Street tire reviewсуббота, 5 ноября 2016 г. @ 07:48
Michelin Pilot Street tire review Yey! Anyway, after the German rubber wore out, it was time to try something French. I've heard great things about the Michelin Pilot Street – the little brother of Michelin Sport Touring for small to medium-size bikes. I fit a 2.75-18 and 100/90-18 onto my nifty '06 YBR 125.
One improvement that I did notice was their stickiness – it makes it really nice to approach bends and while leaning against side winds. That helps a lot as it's something all lightweight bike riders have to face and deal with. The Heidenaus did not boost my confidence with the slight wobbles once a gust would hit..
Breaking is great both on dry and wet tarmac. And once on the gravel roads, I do feel more comfort at a slight loss of feeling compared to the previous Heidenau tires. Must be due to the radial design of these bad boys. Obviously they're not off-road or even dual-sport tires but now I need to worry less about each turn and bump. All in all, having compared three tires on this bike, I would highly recommend getting these Michelin Pilot Street tires for any lightweight motorcycle rider out there! Unless, of course, you can't let those gravel roads go.. Will try the Heidenau K60 Scouts myself next time! Ride safe!
