Michelin Pilot Road 5

[fergus]

Anyone taken the plunge yet?

I used to use PR4, switched to a few sets of Roadtec01s (which I thought were an improvement on the PR4s) then saw there is a now a PR5 available from Michelin.

Thoughts/feedback?

The look of the 5's makes me a bit nervous to try them. Huge area each side with no tread

I guess the thought is if you're leant that far over it's going to be dry anyway.


Still on the PR4 here, no complaints. Have a Power RS on my other bike but not had a chance to try it yet (the new PR5 looks similar to the RS).

Exactly my thoughts.

The Power RS are very good. I'm mighty impressed with them, so I'll be sticking with them for a while.

PR5 already?

A response the Metzlers similar efforts perhaps?

I'll echo the same sentiments on not as many sipes on the side but as said the power rs is a mega tyre. Very impressed with it.

I’m using the power RS in these conditions they’ve been rock solid despite my concerns.
