Rubbish!
Ive been using the Michelin Pilot Sports on my 851 (no real differance except for the forks) for pretty much ever. I cant say a bad word about them. As far as whether or not I actually do use the full extent of the tire. This is from last weekends ride. I appologize for the rather large photos

Ducman,I'm sorry but i agree with Nat.It's not that the Michelins are a bad tyre,it is that other tyres(especially Pirellis) seem to suit the bike more.

Must be a British thing then. I know of quite a few who use and love the Michelins. I have had Dunlops, Bridgestone, and the Pirellis on my bike. Never relly came to terms with them as I did with the Michelins. I would say its more of a personal tire feel thing than the tires being bad.

Yes,i'd agree with that.

One thing I have noticed is,people either love or hate the Michelins,what ever the bike,personally I`m of the hate variety.
