erind c naples,  FL one of the best It has better performance than the MAXXIS I had before, when I ride in the Florida weather. I would only buy this tire, from now on, for my Busa.

Jorge F Miami,  FL So far so good Seems like I just go these tires a few weeks ago. Already have over 5000 miles and doesn't show much wear. I'm very happy with the ride quality, cornering, stability, and traction in dry and wet. Good tire. Not very easy to mount, requires a lot of muscle to pop it onto the rim but once it's on it ain't coming off.

Tony Onalaska,  TX Pilot Road Front Tire I go through tire fast and I ride my bike to work and for fun so I wanted to put some tires on that would last a while longer. The compound in this tire is harder so you will get more miles out of it and the deep tread will give you traction during the time you get caught in the rain. I am running these on my 08 YZFR1 and they are great.

Chad Salladay Wake Forest,  NC Pilot Road on BMW R1200RT One month in. Replaced original equipment Bridgestone Battlax with this tire. Got 6700 miles on Bridgestones. So far I like the feel of the Pilot Roads. They feel very planted and are great at speed. I'm getting a bit of whine at 30 to 40mph but it’s not really bothersome. Can't answer as to tread wear or wet traction

Kirk W Yonkers,  NY Road Pilot I just got the tires the day before I rode from NYC to Ocean City MD. The tires were smooth and gripped well. I also rode this past weekend during the rain here in NYC and they just about gripped as well as if it were dry. I was doing about 70 on the Major Deegan to my surprise and no slip at all. Nice tires recommend by another member of my bike club.

John Katics Burbank,  CA Tire Order My order was the first time that I have bought anything from Motorcycle Superstore. The price was right. The tire was delivered in record time and was packed in a plastic bag for storage protecting it from ozone. Great job.

nb9001 Vallejo,  CA Good commute tire I commute 60 miles/day on the original pilot roads. If you're looking for a high-speed cornering tire these aren't for you. But if you need a high-mileage tire for long stretches of highway the pilot roads are hard to beat for the price. I got 20k on the front and 18k on the rear. I would definitely buy again for the commute bike.

Steve Miller Quinton,  VA Michelin from Thailand? When did Michelin start making tires in Thailand? Makes me wonder if it is a cheap knockoff.

Doug Gloucester,  VA Michelin, Pilot Road I installed my first Pilot road front tire about a month ago, approx. 1000 miles on it so far. I don't have any input on tread life or wet road conditions however I would expect great results according to surveys I have read on this web site. I also found that Motorcycle Superstore Had the best price by far that I found.
