POWER 5 [180/55ZR17 M/C (73W) TL] Tire

[How is it used?
I replaced the OEM tires because I was not satisfied with them, and I have been enjoying the wide range of riding in the city and occasionally going for a ride.

How was your experience with it?
As for the Grip, it grips the road surface well enough to not cause any problems when driving on my Level.
It is a little lighter than the super high grip tires for circuits, which stick to the road surface. Moist." Is it like sticking together? (Sorry for my poor vocabulary...)
It is a tire that allows you to concentrate on riding without worrying about the tire, and when you are riding winding, the enjoyment is greater than the thrill.

How did it compare to other products?
I was also interested in a good Grip Tire from another company, but it was on sale at the time of purchase, so I was able to purchase it at a discount.
If you're curious about this Tire, try lifting a sample of the POWER 5 displayed at Motorcycle supply stores, it's so light! I don't know if it's because of that or the placebo effect, but the Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) The turnaround of the "I" is also lightly handled with a flutter.

[Points to note]
I know this is an old story, but Michelin tires used to have good grips when they were new, but after a certain amount of time, they seemed to move in a way that made the compound hardened and unreliable, even though there was little wear. I think that this is probably no longer the case since the Tire is like a crystallization of modern technology, but I would like to use it while paying attention to its durability and weather resistance.

[Opinions and requests to Manufacturer
I am very grateful for the relatively wide range of sizes that are available for medium to large engine displacement volume motorcycles.

I put them on my VFR800F.
Tourer type Motorcycle, but I wanted to have more fun on a day touring trip.
I tried on this one that is closer to Sports.

First Michelin, about 3,000 km after changing from NORMAL.
The result was LARGE satisfaction!

The Grip force is the best I have come to expect.
I can feel it sticking to the ground, and I can feel it.
The speed is not that high, but it can be safely laid down in Winding.
It was also so sticky that the Small stone stuck to it when I got off and pushed it.
However, I was very nervous at first because I heard from the shop that the shoes are much more slippery than those of other manufacturers when you start wearing them.

Wet performance, but even with an umbrella, even with enough precipitation to wet the hem of the Pants, it is still possible to get the Pants wet.
I was able to run without that much nervousness, so I don't think it was a problem at all.

Above all, the Tire itself is soft, and the feeling of fatigue after returning home has been reduced by a LARGE margin.
I haven't been able to do the long touring for consecutive nights yet, but if it makes this much of a difference, I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
It seems that running long distances day after day will not put too much strain on the body.

I don't know about Life yet, but it has exceeded my expectations.
If you are not afraid of this unique Pattern, you can recommend it to Touring Mainers.

[How is it used?
The NORMALDUNLOP GPR300 on my Z900RS was getting old, so I decided to replace it with POWER 5, which had a good reputation in Touring use from street driving.

How was your experience with it?
As with the Front, the first sensation is that of being netted to the road surface, so netted that the Small stone sticks to it.
When standing up from an intersection, I think I will be in a position to lean my weight on the Rear tire, but I feel a sense of security that makes opening the Axel a pleasure.

How did it compare to other products?
Grip force and security are incomparable to the tired NORMAL DUNLOP GPR300.
I do a lot of city driving, but I enjoy riding on the roads in my everyday life.

Here is the point.
As is common in the Z900RS, if the Rear Stand is a Y-shaped Hook, the Loading Hook Bolt can be used as a Stand Hook for the Swing Arm. This is very convenient.

The cold grip is also not bad, so you can use it all year round.

The grip and durability of this bike is very good, I haven't been on a tour yet because of the rainy season. I'm looking forward to the future driving!
