Michelin Pilot Road 2's

[tmosel]

So, I just ordered a new set of tires for my Max. Got over 10,000 on this set of Michelin Pilot Road 2's, they were 110/80/18 front and 170/60/17 rear. Granted I don't do extended burnouts, so my rear tire wears really evenly with the front. And there is still quite a bit of tread left, but the tires are starting to cup slightly and that makes riding a bit of a chore on longer rides with it wanting to wander a bit.

I'm replacing them with the Michelin Pilot Road 3's, 120/70/ZR18 front and 170/60/ZR17 rear. I'll let everyone know how these do after I have them worn out.

I do a lot of riding in the mountains here in California and love the sweeping and tight twisty roads in the Sacramento area. And the PR2's did a great job on this bike.

I just wanted to give some feedback on some different style radials than I've seen mentioned here on the forum.

I love the road pilots 3s. Very good in the wet.

Michelin's are top notch.. I love my power race 190.. Real soft, no burn outs just traction..

Do the pilots fit on stock rims?

Stock front yes, rear no.

Does the 120 fits well or it get super squeezed like with the metzler?

Running Michelins on both bikes . Pilot Powers and 2 CT . Both have worn well and holding up surprisingly well thus far. Will report back on mileage when changing out.

What mileage did you get out of the Road 2s ?

I got over 10,000 miles on my Pilot Road 2's.

As an update, I took the Pilot Road 3 size 120/70/18 (front tire)to three different shops and none of them could get it to mount on the stock front rim. I contacted the company I bought the tire from and asked if I could return it and they said no problem. So I went with the 110/80/18 Pilot Road 3.

I wish they made Pilot 3's in 18" for the rear. They would look sweet on my Carrozzeria's.

It would appear you have a new option :

Cycle World Sept. issue has an ad for Continental's new ContiSportAttack 2 available for 18 - inch wheels . ( OEM fitment on the '12 BMW S1000RR ) They look BAD ! :clapping::clapping:

a 120 will mount on a stock front rim, but it handles like crap. you need a 3.5" for it as you found out. i'm trying a 130 next on my cazz front rim.
