Pneus 160/70 R17

Sur les routes et les villes du sud du Brésil, utilisation 50/50, le pneu est excellent sur les pistes pluvieuses et sèches.

Je fais la navette tous les jours, parfois sous la pluie et sur les pavés, et ceux-ci sont terrifiants sur le mouillé ! J'avais déjà Michelin Road 5 et j'y retournerai, un million de fois plus sûr ! n'essaierai plus jamais de pneus tout terrain ! Dommage, j'aimerais quelque chose pour faire la navette mais faire un peu de hors route parfois.

Des pneus absolument excellents, durent 14 km et offrent une adhérence folle sur sol mouillé. Il est presque impossible de les faire tourner sur un 650 coupleux et de donner confiance pour se pencher même sous une pluie battante. Pour les retours et la maniabilité, ils étaient dans le haut de la moyenne mais certainement sportifs. J'ai fait des journées sur piste avec ces pneus et je n'ai eu aucun problème à me mettre le genou car le bord même du pneu est essentiellement une slick de course. Prix raisonnable aussi. Je les aurais achetés à nouveau si Michelin ne sortait pas avec les Power 5, mais j'essaie plutôt une approche un peu plus sportive sur des pneus par ailleurs identiques.

Phenomenal tyre! Had a puncture in my old front Avon which flicked a nail into the rear Avon.
Had these fitted as replacements having never ridden on Pirellis before & they have been brilliant. Even when new & they were bedding in they were awesome! After the tyres were worn in they were so grippy that my confidence as a rider improved as well. Will definitely be buying again.

I have used several tyre makes over the years as i am a high mileage user average 10k a year, I look for value, grip and longevity.
I tend to ride in a progressive style with a mix of solo and pillion.
The T30`s give excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces with no dramas.
However they are expensive to buy and only lasted 6000 miles, but are very stable.
In summary, good gripping tyres but do not last so are not great value, but this is my requirements, if grip was my only concern then these would be near the top of the list.

I have had three sets of these and found them a vast improvement over the Storm II Ultra.
I ride a mixture of solo and pillion in a progressive style. Average mileage is 9500 miles usually front wears first, dunno why??
Grip in the wet is good only ever had one slide, the front let go but recovered immediately, but three other bikes did the same on the same corner so must have been surface related.
Grip the dry is terrific with no complaints.
The down side on my bike the steering wobbles at around 30mph, only noticeable with hands off the bars or on a roundabout, the Storm II ultra was worse, does not do this with other tyre makes, but these are such good value I will forgive that as I don`t tend to ride hands free.
In summary, good value tyres with excellent mileage and good grip, my tyre of choice.

Hi, Oct 2012, I used this review to decide which tyres to buy to replace mine on my 1997 ST1100 Pan (non ABS/TCS model) only this week. Thank you to the chap who wrote his review previously because I bought a matching pair of these BT023 based on him and have just been out for a 'sighting' run of about 40 A and B type country road miles. I was coming back and I just had to write a review of my own to repay the compliment and help someone else out. FANTASTIC is the word I'd use to describe them. The tyres have loads of feedback, they feel very very secure in particular, very comfortable, quiet tyres, NO STEERING SHIMMY OR WOBBLE AT ALL with both hands off the bars, lovely profile to them and the Pan rolls from side to side beautifully. I am not a hard rider but a very experienced road rider of some +20 years and these are superb even from the off. Once I've a few hundred miles on them they'll be no doubt even better. Haven't tried them wet but I anticipate good results. If you have an old Pan GET THESE!! They are a little more expensive than other named brands but boy are they worth it. By the way ensure you choose the correct profile tyres as they are different for the ABS/TCS model.

I have used these for the last time, the tyres do not suit the St100. The front tyre cause a steering wobble and can become dangerous at times, ie one handed whilst lifting the helmet visor. These initally felt good when compared to the cross ply tyres used previously, but when compared to the competion not that great.
