misinformation lol #1 the sticky part of the tire is wider on the RS/GP, and they're not completely the same composition wise. The GP will tear way more aggressively and no not last as long as the road 5. Impossible theyre exactly the same. The Power 5 is simply the tire that sits right below the GP. It having more side ipes is irrelevant 99.9% of the time but I guess that too.
How many miles did you get? Not seeing the pinned comment you mentioned.
@@freebehindbars8654 we never will know it
Still waiting on that milage update… 🙄
Still waiting for mileage update ?
I've had the Power 5s on my 2021 S1000RR for a while now and I gotta say I love these tyres. If you're accustomed to more of the Pirelli V shape these are going to feel really slow at first as you lose the quick tip in. However what you get makes up for it IMO. You get a consistent feel all the way around the tyre and it gives you so much confidence. 50°+ lean no sweat. Long sweeping corners at 200kph no problem. Never running out of grip you can just push and push. Quick to warm up. Great wet weather performance (seriously!). Mileage seems to be good so far no squaring off as of yet. A bit pricy due to them being new but I'll buy these again for sure.
How many miles did it last?
@ I'm still going but I'm getting pretty close on the centre of the tyre unfortunately. That being said I am happy with how long these have lasted all things considered. I can't find the receipt to see what my odo was on when I got them new, however my service centre will have this record which I will ask for when I have to get a new set.
@ The bike has about 16,000kms and I changed the OEM S21s before I needed to as they were not great at all (but still close to being at the wear marker)
@ I found the receipt. The tyres have done over 10,000kms. Still have tread but starting to square off (lots of straight riding)
Thanks for your comment. I was shopping these vs the Rosso IV since my Rosso 3s are close to being shot. Not willing to give up the lightening fast tip in though.
To all the people who said this review is confusing.
Its really easy to understand the Michelin tyre range. If it has ROAD in the name its a sport touring tyre. If it has POWER in the name its a sports tyre.
ROAD 5 100% ROAD SPORT TOURING TYRE
POWER 5 100% ROAD SPORT TYRE
POWER GP 50/50 ROAD/TRACK TYRE.
POWER CUP 2 90% TRACK DAY TYRE 10% ROAD. ITS A ROAD LEGAL TRACK TYRE.
Just be honest with what and how you ride and choose accordingly.
you missed Power RS. I think the RS is likely as grippy for track as the GP? This is just speculation however.
@@AlienSexGod Hi there. I did not miss the RS. That tyre is now discontinued so didn't include it as you can't buy it anymore. The RS isn't as sticky as the GP. RS is 85%road15% track. Same mould as the power GP however just different compound.
@@twowheelpilot you buggin, the power rs is still very much in stock. Even right now
@@2touch2swift The Power RS is discontinued by Michelin. The ones you see left in stock are LEFTOVERS.
I got 10,000 miles out of a power 5 rear on my street triple. They are pricey but they wear well especially for how much grip they have
i have been driving hard with the power gp´s. I can tell you, that grip level is amazing! 5 minutes av real fast curves/corners, real twisty too, with knee down almost every curve, the tires where like on rails to the ground, and it was only 13 degrees outside. most be in absolute top counting wit grip performance, hard riding both on the streets and track, and milage perspective. wow!!
I ran michelin power rs before but right now i'm running Michelin Power 5 on my Buell 1125R and i really love these, they are good in every single way!
Nice! And cool bike btw
What do ypu find better power gp or power 5
Power rs*
JUST PUT A SET OF POWER GP'S ON MY R1.Awesome tire..Might be best tire yet!!
How’s your experience with them going pretty far?
@@jorgezx6r Great tire for dry days..Heat up fast..Wear has been better than expected...Stick like glue when hot..
How is it on rainy day?wet roads?
@@syedelvinhaikal3461 They suck!!
If you’re not looking for wet performance, you will not find a better tire than the Power Cup 2. It’s the best tire I’ve used in the dry, by far. Had the Power RS on a Speed Triple and it was good.
Currently shredding away at some Power GP on my RSV and lovin every second of it.
@Sherwin Alka because they're so new
Just bought a '15 FZ07 and man the power 5s the bike came with feel great! I bought the bike in southern CA and rode it back to norcal (400 mile trip) very confidence inspiring tires!
Been loving my Power5’s. I ride mostly street with maybe 2-3 track days a year and they’ve been great.
Jumping back and forth in your explication butween the two then bringing in two other tires from the lineup is super confusing, maybe a quick chart for Michelin tires would help, road 5, road 5 gt, power 5, power 5 gt, and where they should spend most there time. I know all tgese tires and im confused by this explanation! (With all due respect, i love your videos)
I have the Power GP on my 08 zx6r. Great tire IMO, I dont have much experience with different tires but I have a lot more confidence riding on these than the pirelli rosso 2 that the previous owner had on.
cant compare the diablo rosso line up to the power gp you gotta compare it to power 5 the gp is more of rosso corsa 2 kind of tire track day mix with road used you cant compare it to supercorsa also that tire is pretty much a race rubber that can ocasionaly be ridden on the road it grips better then the gp but it scrafice alot to do that tire life on those thing is horrible
better than rosso corsa 2?
Just come home on a new set in the North West of England. It pissed down all the way and my panigale never stepped out of line once looking forward to enjoying the odd dry day.
Was that the Power 5s or the GP's?
@@manskimix he's stated that he's riding pinigale and that's all it matters... If he ever answers your question he'd say "yes"
Sorry for wasting your time but couldn't resist!
Had a set of Power 5's fitted in July, Had to get them custom ordered, as there fairly new. Absolutely fantastic tire for Spirited street riding, done around 2,000 kms so far, and there not showing any signs of rounding off yet. The profile and performance are fantastic.
Composition is not the same. Power 5 is all silica, GP has silica on center and black carbon on the sides. Makes a difference!
My understanding is that the 5 uses more silica while the GP uses more carbon. The 5 is sporty but the GP is sportier. This at least from what I was able to pull from Michelin themselves. The 5 also provides better rain traction compared to the GP.
Super happy with my power RS on my zx10r. 3 track days and plenty of hard back road ripping and at nearly 10k there's still some life left... Power GP next for sure!
10k what? Definitely not getting 10k miles on any Power series tire, not even the front.
@@freebehindbars8654 10k kms, so about 6k miles.
@@czierwo Thank you for clarifying and coming back to reply ^-^
@@MrFoxfire510 I can imagine front lasting 10k miles, but who buys these to mile them out? These are designed to rip 😀
On high lean angles they are just slicks, an advantage. I can't see why anybody wants to have grooves until the edge of his tire. In particular 'the more carefull drivers' in the wet and on the street - they don't go track - never use the last 20 millimeter of tread towards max lean - so, even with reduced length of the grooves, getting away water to the outside should be no problem. If in theorie it passes outside a tires end or end of groove 20 mills earlier - does anybody see (inside the splash) or even recognize? The water will leave the groove end of streetcontact of the tire anyway - that's way before end of groove. But the markets will have to find out over tim, convince themselves - educating the markets here by a single manufacturer may just bring danger for the brand and costs for him. But individuals are free to choose on their own today already for the max rubber while cornering with higher lean angles, nice to have. And i want to buy rubber for to drive on anyway, not them grooves. 😉
Currently still using Power GPs, mileage is unbelievable.
I got 4k mile out of my P5 rear, what are you getting on the GPs?
I have an mt09 sp and the power 5. (Very sporty rozd driving) Amazing grip. Love them.
I ran the power rs until I got my skills up to run the front of intermediate on my 07 gsxr 600.
So I put them on my ZX10 and they're still good, but I personally don't feel like they can manage the power.
So I put power cup 2s on the 600 and never looked back, might go with them on my ZX10 as well, and just put the power gps on my r1 street bike.
So quick recap, power gp for occasional track day novice group, they're great. Power cup 2s definitely for the serious track day rider.
How does the power cup 2 do in the rain or wet track ?
@@MoToxicity if you choose life don't do it 🤣. They are trash in the rain
Have a 2021 mt 09 with the sp 22’s and love them but 3,400 miles later there already starting to square off on the middle. Love those twisties but take a little of straight road driving before getting there. Going to give the power 5 a shot.
Had both on. GPs were destroyed in less than 1k miles. Power 5 are at the end now after just 4 months, no more than 1k miles again. Aggressive street riding only with one short track day. Bike is heavy though, maybe thats the problem. BMW K1300R
Could be it. I replaced the stock Dunlops on my '20 z900 at 600 miles (those tires SUUUUUCKKKK). Here I am near the end of the season 5K miles later and I MIGHT have enough tread on the power 5s for another 2k next season... Thinking of upgrading to the GPs next.
Would love to see a milage comparison between the Road 5 and Power 5
road 5 will see about 2.5x-3x the amount of miles, the cost of grip is high
From what I've heard and read, one can expect about 20% less mileage out of the P5 when compared to the R5.
@@LonelyTreeSunset no no no. a road 4 could do 13.5k out of a rear on my cbr 600. Power tires are more around 5k miles sometimes less
If mileage is a concern, don't go for the Powers.
I've had both on my bikes and imo the Power 5 is not worth it. Provides maybe a little bit more grip than the Road 5 but I can use both on the track, the Road 5s tend to get a bit too hot but that's okay if you take a few breaks but it's completely fine for twisties. Apart from that Power 5 was gone in 4.5k miles on the rear, whilst my Road 5s lasted 14k miles on the same bike. The fronts of the power 5 are exceptional though and provide much better feel than the Road 5 whilst still offering decent wet grip, Imo Road 5 on the rear and Power 5 on the front is a VERY nice combo, the fronts last much longer than the Power 5 rears anyway so if you get a Road 5 rear and Power 5 front (since they are basically identical profile) they will wear out about the same rate.
I'm running the power 5 on my zx12r and I just bought another set for it love these tires
Just looking for a set for my ZX-12R as well. Will probably go for these, but all I do is sport touring mainly. Check my bike out here instagram.com/kawasakininjazx12r
I've gone from Michelin Pilot Power 2's to Bridgestone Battlax S22's bc the PP2's are discontinued. I researched a lot and learned about tires needing certain temps for optimum performance and traction. What are the temp requirements for each of these, like do either of these need more heat for better traction or the same? If don't know for sure, please don't guess. I don't want misinformation. Riding style and road surface has a lot to do with tire temps as well. Maybe they're too new but I found a lot more positive reviews for the S22's than the PP5's. I'd like to see a review comparing those 2. Also what's main difference between the Michelin Pilot Power 5 and Pilot Road 5?
Once you've tested these tires, can you answer this question? Which tire is the most similar to the Power RS? I have had these tires on my tuono and I'm very happy with them. I was particularly impressed when I ridden in rain, and they didn't throw any fits, for a sporty tire. From what I understand, the power 5 might offer better wet weather performance, but I'm not sure if they offer the same dry weather grip as the RS. Thank you!
@@aidenlothian9642 Thank you for your reply! I figured that the Power GP might be better in dry that the Power RS, especially looking at the thread pattern, but I'm afraid that it won't be as secure in the wet as the RS.
I'm putting the power 5 on my l9 gsxr750 today I can't wait
How’s the feeling of the power 5?
I gone through 3 sets of rear on my Z900 and I am getting 5000 km with aggressive street riding.
Con un set fai 5000? Io anche ho la z900 e vorrei provarle
@@user-et8lm6bl7q power 5
Had the same bike and same tire. This is correct 👍
Will the GP wear out quicker?
If so, by how much ? 🧐🧐🧐
Ya'll need more tire reviews period! I like all your reviews. But yall are slacking in the tire department. Do better please
my kawasaki z800R loves these power 5's at 32 psi cold would totally recommend
Cbr600rr
Just purchased my second set.
Got 7k miles out of them and the front still has a lot of thread. Changing the rear .... got a flat on highway and thread is so low the plug isn’t holding. It was time to change anyways. 7k miles and aggressive sticky grip.... Can’t complain at all
Had the power gp on my cb1000r. Dry grip was amazing so much confidence inspiring i scrubbed them really good, but in wet the rear was losing traction, some wheel spins. Got 6k kms from the rear. Changed to road 6 as I want a bit more kms from the tires. Few track days coming so let's see how good of thrashing can the handle.
I’ll be extremely interested to hear your thoughts on how the Road 6 compares. I’m considering a pair on my CB1000R. I’m coming from the Power 5 which I find slightly harsh.
@@Maverick-moto just did over 2k kms on road 6. Pretext I bought the motorcycle at the start of this year wity power gp on them and was taking it easy. I ended up chewing the mid section I was doing straight line pulls and riding on motorways more. After owing it and riding it everyweekend I am riding it harder and pushing it more. I am happy how road 6 is holding up. Still looks brand new after 2k kms.
Have track days in November, I'll post my full review when it's time to change them.
@@srk_mithipatihow was it?
Not a big fan of the tread pattern on these new tyres.
Anthony? Where are you??????
Amazing tire. Fixed the torque problem on my Ducati. :-)
Torque problem?
Vytas joking about being aggressive with the throttle. These tires are sticky and don’t break or squirm out when accelerating and decelerating quickly. They are forgiving.
Are you talking about Power 5 or Power GP?
@@im0612 Power 5
2 track days, 18000klms out of my power road 5s, probably another 2k but double puncture seen the end to that, just put another set on, great tyre, lots of street and highway miles here in Western Australia through tough climates.
Do you mean the road 5? Theres a power 5 and a road 5, not a power road 5.
@@SirSpinalColumn yea road 5
Road 5s are great, I've tried the power 5s cos i was like "the road 5 is so good in the wet I've never even come close to slipping so maybe i can sacrifice a but of wet grip for handling" I went for the Power 5s and sure enough, if the road 5 is 60/40 for dry/wet then the power 5 is a 70/30, still immensely good in the wet compared to other tyres but it did the occasional slip over a wet manhole cover or paint lines, nothing major though, however the mileage is terrible. They cost the same as the Road 5s and only last 1/3 the miles. I honestly can't tell the difference for dry grip between the 2, the only problem with the road 5s is a bit less feel and they tend to overheat on the track if you go out for too long too hard, but it's manageable by taking a cooldown lap or just taking a short break, but that's it.
These came on my new KTM DUKE 890R ive only put 600 mls through them but I'm loving every minute, they stick like shite on a blanket!!!
I think you are wrong, The 890r Duke came with the Power cup 2. At least mine did.
@@TH-cam_Globetrotter you are right. the motorcycle shop did change them for these for me because I drive also in the rain.... the power cup 2 sucks in rain! ( bought a new duke890R)
@@chriskamphuis21 Yeah, i could guess. They didn't last long. Incredible grip if you go track, but I never did. But for the road atleas I need tire that last longer.
I run the old Power RS on my 1200s monster brilliant. When the rear was due on my 1098s my shop told me the Power 5 was the successor to the RS, it ain't. If you like to go for a spirited ride thru the twisties on a sunny day , get the GP. I can't get the same tread adhesion with the 5 that I can with the RS. So I'm keen to try GP.
The GP replaced the RS and RS+
The Power 5's are NOT a track/high performance tire, they would be great for touring etc but they do not inspire confidence when pushed. My local shop said they were a replacement of the RS, but that tire is way better however the RS can chew out on the join between the compounds. If I were to try Michelins again it would either be the Cup or GP
@@45south Yes, power RS did wear of very fast on track where compounds meet. With power RS+ i dont have this problem as much.
@@45south That's what I'm thinking..if the GP is the same as the RS then ill pass as the joint between the two compounds cupped and got quite squirmy. Was a good tire till that point around 3km..Swapped them out for S22s and although these are not as soft they have been a good replacement
Had power rs on the speed triple 2008,, for 4 years so bought a k6 gsxr 1000 and will try power 5 on it mostly road riding,, reasonably priced,, 250 pair fitted,, from Belfast,, Northern Ireland,, ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Hi. How do you find the power 5 compared to rs
The tyre composition and compound is the same, the only difference is the tread 6% on Power GP vs 11% on Power 5. Most people don't know that.
I'll definitely be getting Power 5, better all round tyre.
Power 5 dont have Carbon Black at the Rear Tire, Only at the front tires, Power GP have Black Carbon at front and rear
Used these(Power GP) on my 05 ZX10R. 2 trackdays and 8000km on the road, still enough thread left, More then enough. Think i can get 11.000 out of them. And i ride pretty aggressive. Not too much highway.
Gotta change the rear now, cause it cupped a bit at the right side. Really love these tires btw.
Hoe zijn ze met regen?
@@nejatturan ook wel goed man. Kwam pas in stortbui terecht toch aardig doorheen geknald nog
I only managed to get 4000km out of them. Not aggressive driving imho :D
But handling and overall Performance is sweet
Power 5 lasted 5500miles on 450# 22’ CB1000R
Had the power 5 on my 2022 S1000RR and I loved the handling of them but was disappointed I barely got 4k miles out of them running the factory recommended tire pressures.
I saw three tires and you only talked about two
I still love pilot power 2ct
Hi, Revzilla. Any development on the wear of both tires? Which one gives a better mileage?
Wish motorcycle tires had some form of UTQG like auto tires, obviously motorcycle tire use cases vary even more widely than auto tires, but it's just impossible to get any sort of measure for how a given tire is going to wear.
I've been using the road 5 on my Ninja for about a year and a half and they're great. I can't imagine anyone on the street ever needing more grip than that and then the added benefit of having awesome grip in heavy downpours as well.
I don't know how well the Power 5 would do in those conditions though, might be good enough to get you to where you need to go. No one is really pushing it in downpours anyway.
I've got a pair of Power 3/4? on my VFR and once they square off, they handle like butt. Standard PSI. Going back to the Road 4s once they're dead.
I am on my second set for my fz07 and they are great in all conditions. I never felt like I needed more or that I had to hold back. Im not sure I would trust the power 5 as much in rough conditions, but I guess a bigger bike could outperform the road 5 in good conditions.
I’ve ran road 5 on wet roads during a down pour and water runoffs tire really perform we’ll really pushed it, slightly losing grip while having a passenger it was sketchy but I wanted to push it to the edge and it didn’t disappoint I highly recommend em the 6’s are a great tire too and now I wanna try the power 5 a buddy has the power GP and his a die hard Rosso 4 guy and so far he is impressed with em on his 23 SK1RR
2021 Yamaha MT07- 4,000 miles on the Power 5
Got the same out of my P5 rear. My P5 front will do close to double.
These vs. Q3+. Sadly, kinda aggressive road riding on my 07 SV650S w/gixer front end and ZX10 shock. Need new tires, down to the wear bars on the rear and just got into the carcass on the right side.
Stick with Mr Michelin your Cash goes Further Down the Road ". . It's Brutale
Any chance you can do a review on the Michillen Pilot GP for Underbones?
Thanks.
Ima pirelli angel GT guy, but im very disappointed on the GT2. They feel like the bike is slipping going over pavement like surfaces on the high way.
Like how when you go over those patches on the road where they fill the cracks with. Regular GTs never had this issue. Even tho the GT2 is alot better as far as grip goes, that one con about them is irritating.
Im willing to bet its the two center lines thats going around the whole tire. So im thinking about switching to ROAD 5.
I still have a set of michelin pilot power 2ct on my TL1000R and have been very happy with these tires. I will most likely change these out for 2021. I dont ride this bike very much as I typically jump on my cruiser. I dont do track days and only take this bike out when its dry but could get see some rain. What's a more appropriate tire for my application?
What tyre pressures do you run the power gps on the road ??
im using Kawasaki Z800.... always weekend ride.... and go to track day every 3-4 month once... with model you recomended?
Those look tempting, but I'm considering a long trip late winter and the damn virus is throwing a wrench in plans. If I don't take long trip these would be perfect for my canyon runs and commuting on my R6. Decisions decisions...
What the difference in mileage on a rear of the 5s and gps i have a set of gps on now and love them but seam like they wore out fast and will be honest if i wasn't working on wheelie would have lasted longer
Is it okay to run P5 in the front and R5’s in the back. My work commute is pretty long
Their their dual compound don't work for me, had 2 sets of road 4s and 1 set of road 5s and so far every set has become a triangle since corners are the only thing I care about 😂
How does dunlop q4 compare to michelin GP
What tire is better for street/sporty riding?
I drive only when the sun is out..
Michelin power5 or the Michelin road 5?
Power 5
Whats the difference betwen power 5 and power RS ? pros , cons ?
No carbon black on the P5 rear, less comfort but more life.
Hello, I put some Michelin Power 5 Pilot CT2 190 - 17 on my S1000XR and on the middle edge they have a kind of squares marked 3 on the back and two on the front, do you know what they are for?
How do the Power 5 and Power Gp compare to the Power RS? Other than the percentage of 2ct strips?
Think of the Power RS as the Power 4 cause Michelin never came out with a Power 4. Michelin went from Power3 -> PowerRS -> Power5 -> PowerGP
The GP is suppose to be the RS replacement
Are the new power5 and road5 comparable?
And of they are which ones better? Because i havent found any reviews on Vs. On them.
Power 5 surprised me : for a Michelin it's quite stiff and long to break in. Very good on the wet but not that sticky though so for my ZZR/ZX14 I'll go back to the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II which IMO and several tests is the best sports bike tyre. For my GSXR 1000 I'll either stick to the Pirelli Supercorsa SP or try the new Continental Raceattack 2 Street
How do you find the PDRC11's in the rain ? Tia
@@glenwhyte2555 They're acceptable as long as you don't lean on the slick part of the tyre 😉
Just ordered a power gp rear 👍
Is there did you make a Bridgestone s22 vs Michelin road 5 video? 95% street rider i may bring my bike to a track this summer switched from Bridgestone bt16pro’s to the s22 and 100% way better tire but id like to know what would last longer and get my miles worth and be able to put power down the road 5’s or s22
As the tyres slowly go away... I wonder where tyres go?
They sell it to people who want to go tubing in rivers/lakes
@@landridaltwood2698 There you go!😂😂😂
This or the Metzeler M9RR?
for most roads but a few track days / year
Power 5, M9RR, and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV, are all in the same category and will give you similar performance and life.
Anyone know how Power GP is different to Power RS? Seems to be the same composition, same mould. Has anything changed?
The RS has a higher silica content, making it better for street use as it will handle wet conditions better than the GP. This is the largest difference between the two.
I hope that helps!
-Zack
@@RevZilla As in the internal structure is different or something? Based on Michelin on TH-cam and some articles using the same images the % of silica to carbon black is the same. In fact they quote the RS rear to be 23/54/23, while GP is 22.5/55/22.5 i.e. more silica. Which I'd imagine is just rounding and ends up being the same.
Not sure why I missed this review. I am on my 3rd or 4th set on my 2020 Super Duke GT and they are amazing...AMAZING. I am getting about 4K miles on a rear which is pretty good considering some of the more aggressive Super Duke R and GT rider have gotten as few as 1200 miles...
I am really hoping we will se a Power 6 soon. I have seen a couple of reviews on the Diablo Rosso IV (not available when this video launched)
The Power 5 is a street sports tyre and seems to be in the same category as a Pirelli Rosso 3, loved the feel of the Rosso 3s and got about 8,500kms out of them. How does the Power 5 compare in both feel and distance to the Rosso 3s ?
With some 1500kms on the Power 5s I'm going to say I like the feel of the Rosso 3s better, in fact between the the Rosso 3s and Power 5s I had Angel GT 2s and liked the feel of those better as well.
The Power 5s are good in that they turn in pretty neutrally as I like, they grip well enough in cold slippery conditions, in otherwords I'm OK with them until they wear out. Maybe it's only my opinion but they feel a little wooden through tight flip flopping twisties in comparison to the previous two Pirellis....On the plus side as Michelins go they are far better than my hated Road 4s I've had in the past..
a crazy fact that no one mentions about the power 5 is that its 600 grams lighter than the competition on the back tire, I am looking forward to replace my old metzeler racetec rr k3 and when I saw that difference between power 5 and everyone else I was very impressed, people spend 4k on carbon wheels for 1-2kg sprung weight savings so 600 grams just from the tire sound amazing considering that its not priced very different than the competition.
5000 to 6000km on p5 rear with spirited road riding.
PLease review the power cup 2 or do a comparison of the q4 vs power cup 2
The Cup 2 is a DOT race tire that Actually works on the street. The Power GP is actually a 50/50 tire that can hold up to Advance level track day pace.
Yeah but like any tire working near it's limits just because the Power GP can do advance that's the point you should be considering setting up to the Cup2
How are these in cold weather
They need some temperature before you push them, but it doesn't take too long to switch them on. Tyre pressures are critical too, I usually run 2.1 bar front and rear (cold).
did the gp replace the rs?
Yes
Whatis the power 5 weight?
I bought it today.
I been running Michelin pilot power 2ct for years honestly I know they’re old but they have got me through rain dirt dust little oil I love the way they feel so this upcoming season idk what to get . I go as hard as possible on the street not to sound like a douche and need a tire upgrade
Same, only tyre I've riden for the past years. Now that they stopped making them Im looking for a new tyre. Might take this power 5. Looks very promising.
Same been on then since the get go in 2006 when I bought them for my 06 gsxr750. Loved them on all my bikes since..tried Q3 tires that cane on a bike I bought and didnt like them at all. But now what to get since no more 2Ct's are being made? Thinking to give power 5's a try I found them for $250/set vs $405 for Q3+ set
@@JRDNGIXX I just got a rear pilot power 2ct from @revzilla came in like 3 days that was nice it seems they still have a few left . When ready to change both tires probably late July I will try power 5’s they’ve got a few options in the power 5 . I want the pirelli sp v3 but I they’re super costly and I hear only good for driest of weather I don’t ride in the rain anyway but a light mist I’m usually caught in . So power 5’s it is
Michelin Power 5 or Bridgestone Battlax S22? (For Street Rossi riding 😛)
Found your answer yet?
S22 i got it and its nice
@@MotoBasiic have you tried them both?
Gonna get the power 5 or the gt don't know which one to get yet
Power 5 is a bit more touring /sports
My power5 have done 17.500 km on the front wheel. Bike is BMW R1200RS
This may be a dumb question but I’m
Feeling like my local guys steered me in the wrong direction.
I had a Power 5 on my front and they talked me into a Road 5. Did I just lose some of my cornering performance?
Hi so how are the road 5. I'm thinking of putting them on at the moment gsxr 600. Rs+ punctured
@@runflat5153 turns out, the tires were awesome
@@joetrosclair8434 cheers dude, marvelous news 👌
Road 5 are great but Power 5's are even more grippy.
Where’s the mileage comment
I mounted Power 5's on my zx14r. 3000 miles in the front tire is hardly worn at all. The rear is at about half life. Problem here is a bad one though. As I pass 100 mph the bike begins to shake, a definite tremor from the tires and not a bike malfunction. It gets progressively worse the faster you go. SO, I will not buy these again. They replaced S21's which NEVER vibrated no matter how fast. I've heard from others they've had the same problem. It's not an isolated incident. Beware.
That’s a tire mounting/balancing problem
Also check rear wheel alignment. Do not trust the adjusters. Measure from axle center to swing arm pivot to properly align.
I bought the 5s for speed triple but I probably couldve save a hundred going with the metzeler's
What are those
French and Italian tire companies lead the way. French(Michelin) makes great road tires and Pirelli(Italian) makes the best track tires.
I had some pirelli diablo tires and i wasnt a fan of them at all. They wore down super fast and offered 0 grip. Im a much bigger fan of the pilot power line
Michelins are actually made in Spain... though it is a French Corp....
These statements are arguable.
Many people prefer the famous S22 or the M7RR for the road.
Many people prefer Dunlops for the track.
Is the power GP the replacement for power RS?
That's what i want to know. Looks exactly the same as the power rs
Yes! Power 5 is a new tyre, Power GP replaces the Power RS/RS+.
How does this compare to angel gt?
These are both more sporty and grippy, the Michelin equivilant of the Angel would be the Road 5
I had angel gt and it felt a bit wooden with not much confidence... got metzeler on now but definitely going to try michelin
Ah thank you. Maybe I should go with these my next set.
I like these. I was thinking Angel GT so would the Power 5 last longer ?
It would definitely not last longer, it's a way softer compound and made for a bunch of grip (seriously they don't want to let lose of the tarmac), angel gt is pretty hard but lasts way longer but for the cost of grip
NO, the angle gt will last longer I have angle gt front and rear on a +10 and love them more than sticky enough. I even air down and drag race and it hooks my zx10r just fine
I think Spurge is expecting .
Those "dimples" on the side are a joke by Michelin. They're gone in 50 miles.
GOON INF THX
power always had bad mileage, the road on the other hand yummey
Not interested until front tires get 2CT+ thingy
doesn't need 2ct+ on the front. The + means the centre harder compound goes from the centre of the tyre to the edge of the tyre and the softer stickier compound found at the edge of the tyre is place on top of that harder compound giving the shoulders of the tyre extra support at lean for use for example under acceleration ect. Even Michelins new Power Cup 2 doesn't have 2ct+ on the front so it's not that these are somewhat budget tyres because it's lacking that feature. I'm not sure any tyre has 2ct+ on the front. It's simply not needed.
Dunlop for life!!!
Sounds like you never rode the Power GP tires, not a way for a good review if you haven't ridden them hard.
Power RS still offers better performance lol
have you ridden both? I almost bought the 5 recently, and went with the PowRS for my 3rd set.
Power rs is better than the power 5 in dry conditions but the power gp surpasses the power rs for dry grip.
Power 5 did pretty good in rain for me
Rs was renamed gp
Kyle Def The Power Rs and Power GP are actually two different tires. The Power RS is advertised as a 90% street/ 10% track tire.
The Power GP is advertised as a 50% street/ 50% track tire. Both have the same tread pattern and appear to look the same but the Power GP is made with stickier rubber
