Greetings All, Is anyone running Michelin Pilot Powers on their pre-XB tuber? The Powers have a pretty aggressive profile and on my FZ1 they have a tendency to feel like they are falling into the corner. I'm thinking of trying them on my M2 so I'm curious if anyone else has used them and what they thought of them. |

No pilot Powers. But I am running the Pilot Roads on both my XB and FZ1 with no issues. |

Hey Nick! I'm on Pirellis, so I'm no help there. Just a heads up, Latus is ponying up for sponsorship and we're becoming a semi oficial club. Let us know if you'r intristed in membership. As always, member or not we'd love to ride with you and the Mrs. again... |

I'm on Michelin Pilot Powers, but I'm also on a Ducati, so my opinion may not amount to much. I really like them, they give me no grief at all and feel very stable going into, through and out of corners. Like all tires, it's a game of finding your own best air pressures for them, once you get that, you won't have any issues with them that I can tell. Jeremy |

Hi Folks, Thanks for the rapid responses on my Michelin query, I appreciate it. I may end up on Pirelli Diablos, the tire that's spec'd for the XB's. I'm still trying to decide. Lookin' forward to some Saturday rides! Nick |

Nick I have the Diablos on my s1, first new to me set ive had on the bike, i'm not a really experienced rider, but i can tell that they grip a hell of a lot better than the dunlops that i bought the bike with. |

Hi Paul, Corsa's don't come in a 170/60/17 rear for the M2 so for Pirelli's it's only the Diablo. Thanks! |
