190/70 17 Tyre Review Highlights

Michelin Road 5 rated 90% while driving a Kawasaki z1000
Driving on mostly country roads for 4000 spirited miles
Have had road 3’s, 4’s and now the 5’s. In the wet i feel safe and have a heap trust in the traction. In the dry, I tip it in and don’t ever think about the possibility of traction letting go, and no, I don’t have chicken strips left. I trust my tires more than my girlfriend! Hahaha. The dual compound edges get soft and melty on warm and cold days, and have always served me well. I’ll never buy another brand.

Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa rated NAN% while driving a Triumph 2019 Speed Triple S
Driving on mostly country roads for 2700 spirited miles
Bought my '19 Triumph Speed Triple S with an OEM version of the Pirelli Supercorsas. Dry grip was fine to excellent. Mind you as very high performance street/track tires there is minimal siping making wet weather riding a bit tenuous. Also note that tread depth on a new Supercorsa is roughly half what it would be on an average sport touring tire. In combination with the sticky compound and nearly solid racing slick contact patch when cornering they grip quite well, just not in the wet and especially not on painted road striping!! I was actually surprised to get 2700 miles out of my rear and the front still has prehaps another 800 mi in it, but I was breaking the bike in on the 1st 1200 miles. Estimated mileage for my style of riding for a rear would be 2400 mi and perhaps 3000 out of a front. Will be trying a dual compound sport tire next - ie. Michelin Pilot Powers or perhaps Dunlop RoadSmart 3's

Michelin Pilot Road 3 rated 100% while driving a
Driving on for 0 miles
These to me are the best tyres on the market was a avon fan put these on my Kawasaki sx 1000 what a big difference had them 4000 miles rear tyre is half worn so should get at least 7000 miles from them they are that good have bought another pair already as they were at the wright price in the wet have no problem feel safe and in the dry the bike is like glue to the road. Also have a vfr 750 and fitted a set to that as well so to have 2 bikes with the same tyres fitted says it all will try the 4 next time .

Bridgestone Battlax BT 023 rated 99% while driving a Honda CBR1000RR10
Driving on mostly country roads for 350 average miles
Well I have done 350 miles on these tyres and to say its made my Blade feel a whole lot better is an understatment. They feel great, they give great levels of grip and they are so stable at speed. I only gave 9 out of 10 for wet grip as I have not been out in a proper down pour yet. But I have been out in damp conditions and they were great as well.
I have looked at the wear and it looks good as well (Remember I've only done 350 miles)
