Mood: is it the weekend yet??
I'm running Power Races on the road now, scrubbed them in last night and initial impressions are good, I'm on a soft front but not the c profile which i think Lil has which is a bit sharper. Power Race and Pilot Power (normal and CT2) are a huge step up from the old "rubber" Michelins, new technology is nothing like riding Pilot Sports or Cups which were harder and would let go but it seems that reputation sticks with Michelin. The Pilot Powers i was on were probably the best reasonable mileage, high grip, all condition tyre I've used to date hopefully the Power race will be even better in the dry. Profile seems different to the Pilot Power, more rounded and bike seemed to flow as you changed direction rather than tip, maybe a consequence of more grip and more confidence in the front staying hooked up.
