Pilot Road2 in the USA

Post by **zooomart** » Fri Aug 03, 2007 1:29 pm

I spoke to the customer service rep at Michelin today. She said that the tires will be available in September. I told her I was interested in the 170/60/17.
There are 400 of this size in a warehouse in IL, and more inventory is being built in the USA. The rep recommended placing an order with my dealer to get in line. I hung up then remembered I should of got the item code, to help my dealer put the order in. Maybe my next rear tire will be a Pilot Road 2 after all.

Please let us know how they wear for the long run.

Awesome! Now I'll have to get out and wear these Pirelli's out. It's my second set of Pirelli's and I don't think I'll get them again. I'll probably go back to the Z6's, unless I can get the Pilot Road 2.

I'm in need of new tires too... shopped around a bit for the Pilot Road2's; sometime September is the general word about availability. I could not wait so I picked up a set of Bridgestone Battlax BT-021's from SWMoto a couple of days ago...

I gave my new PR2's a good test yesterday..T'was a beautiful day and Spring has sprung here a few weeks early...Waa-Hoo!..

I rode up to Mt Dandenong for a pie in the sky..and I reduced the size of my chicken strips along the way.

My new Pilot Road 2's are the best tires that I have ever had..The profile seems different or something..They feel very safe when tipped way over.

DJ,
How many KM/M do you have on them? Any signs of squaring off?

I've only done a few tanks on them..so they still look like new.

I just put a set of new Pilot Powers on my 02 and they performed flawlessly this weekend during 400 miles of VERY spirited riding in the north GA. mountains. I don't know what mileage I can expect out of them, but I always choose grip over longevity. Hopefully 4-5K out of the rear and double that from the front.

I bet 4k out of front and rear. I am getting 8-9k out of the Pilot Roads.
