Opinions on Pilot Road tyres?

[Big Lee]

Hi Folks

I`m getting a nice new pair of Michelin Pilot Road tyres for my 12GS & was wondering what people thought of them as there`s no opinions in the FAQ for them.
Whats the handling, mileage & general grippiness on these, something to look forward to or not?

Cheers

Lee

Hi lee i've had a pair on for just over 1.000 miles and feel very comfortable with them wear is also good,i would expect approx 6-7k front & rear and finally very good in the wet weather hope this helps

Other than this very nondescript tyres then?

Mine are waiting in the hall to be fitted in the morning

I threw them on my 1150GS.

And I have to say that the back end of the bike feels decidedly twitchy on roundabouts.

Sufficiently twitchy that I go round them slower than I used to on the Dunlop 607s, and no longer get my toe to scrape the road surfce - I guess this means my boots might last longer though.

I wish I'd gone for 020s.

Ah now that`s the problem, if you`d got them fitted properly instead of throwing them on they might have been better!
