    I've never tried michelins. I've been using Metzelers for years. Had the M1s and now I have a set of M3s and love them.

    +1 on the pures, especially on slightly damp/wet surfaces. Money.

    have only ever used metzelers M1' s, very happy with them but I'm going with a different brand, please tell us what riding differences you feel, in what way area do you feel the most drastic change? what type of riding you are doing...pleasure or commutes to and from work, mostly great weather, etc? Thanks!!

    Michelin Pilot Powers are garbage compared to PP 2CT.

    The regular PPs slip like butter on the track. It can't handle the degree of heat of the track. My own personal experience.

    The PP 2CT are on the other hand a very competent set of tires. It's like putting the bike on rails.

    I think the regular PP is the easiest tire I have ever put on a rim. They are so soft its makes life pretty easy.

    Got a few sets of the regular PP's I'm gonna use for commuting and the occasion canyon run.

    +jaun on the PP CT's... to me they were a perfect balance for street and trackday riding and actually lasted longer than I thought they would.
