Michelin Pilot Road

[walti]

Are these the same as T66's?

Their website comes up with 110/80R19 59 V TL and 150/70R17 69 V TL as the references.

Anyway, are they any good? From comments made in Fanums tyre bible I'm not sure if they're the same tyre that others initially liked then went off as the tread wore down...

So, Anakee's currently fitted, what should I choose to replace them for road based touring. Tourance or Pilot road?

(2004 R1200GS)

What wrong with staying with the Anakee's?

Pilot Roads are a proper road tyre, akin to Bridgestone's 020.

I've recently fitted them to my 1150 for the winter, and I'm going back to the dealer in the week to have them check the rear. It seems very 'flighty' and lets go rather more than I would like.

I'm sticking with the Anarchy. Oodles of grip in all conditions and the bike doesn't wander when the rear tyre has worn right down.

I've got the Pilot Roads on my 1200GS, they seem quite good. they are a proper road tyre (like othe 020s) but are supposed to have better wet grip. They seem pretty good but with the slime on the roads at the moment it's difficult to tell. Previously I had D607s which I really liked but just wanted a more road orientated tyre (but I'm not convinced the pilot road is an improvement, but def no worse)

This is the swap I made for the winter.

I'm convinced the Dynlop's had more grip.

I'm going round roundabouts like an 8yr old girl with the Pilot Roads.

I think they were quite good in rain but when it's slimey like it is at the moment then I think the Dunlops were a bit better. Possibly because they have more block edges to help cut through the slime. The pilots do seem good in rain but maybe slip more on white paint etc. I couldn't decide if I liked them or not but may well go back to Dunlops next time (they were very very good and they look better on the trailie)
