Power 5 is an Ok tire, At 2500 miles it is starting to show some squaring off, tread depth is 2mm rear, 3mm front. I think the S22 out performs this tire, the S22 is also less expensive. If I was going to spend this level of money again it would probably buy the M9RR.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Honda CB1000r drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Did 3900 miles on mine, on the back of a CB1000r. 1500 miles in one long hit killed the centres and I think I could have got another 500 miles easily had I not done those motorway miles.
Great progressive tyre, you can feel it slowly loose and slowly come back to grip, I'd be surprised if you made it break grip in the dry with less that 180bhp, I've never come close on mine. In the wet it only broke free when riding like an idiot. I would have ordered another, but I need a bit more motorway ability (to get to the decent lanes). Just fitting a BT016 to see if the multi compound works any better.
