The Best Sport-Focused tire

I'm on my fourth set of PCIIs with my gsxr1k track bike and all I can say is, wow. These tires perform as well, and last longer, than any other manufacturer's offering in this class. I get 30% more sessions compared to others. That said, my longevity rating is based on pure track use. I can get about 5-600mi out of a set, on track, and that, to me, is amazing. This is not a street bias tire. If you're expecting to get 1000mi look elsewhere - this is not the tire for you. If you want a very predictable, even-wearing, long lasting, no-tire-warmer track tire that performs confidently at full wear, this is what you're looking for. I'm sure this tire will perform phenomenally on the street, as well, but you'll be burning them up quickly. Keep the above in mind and I think you'll find this tire quite satisfying, and well worth the money. [Haven't tested in wet conditions and this is an obligatory field so only 1 star reported so as to fulfill this requirement]

It's a good tyre

It's a very good tyre for track day riders that don't want or need slicks. My only criticism or feedback would be I'd love to see either this or the Power GP2 offered in a 180/60 size, as that is my preferred size. Apart from that I can't fault them. More grip than I currently need for my intermediate skill level.

S1000RR GSXR750 120 front 200 rear 190 rear tyre

This tyre Provides great grip for track days and good sticky rubber for the street when reaching operating temperatures. They also heat up quickly. The tyre profile allows a sharp turn in response. After using Supercorsas and Dunlop’s and comparing these tyres i would use again. Tyre kilometre life is not really something considered for this type of tyre but probably lasts longer then some other track/street tyres.

Hi, Michelin Power Cup 2 is designed to deliver maximum grip thanks to the use of Michelin 2CT+ technology on the rear tyre and Michelin 2CT technology on the front tyre with synthetic component which promotes ultra-fast warm up for immediate high performance from the very start! Thank you for the feedback. Michelin

Power Cup 2

Switched from Dunlop Q4 to the PC2. Half a lap and was able to go edge to edge. Great warmup and grip from the get go. Feedback from them is good. Wear is going to be a concern if you’re trying to get road miles on them but if you’re track focused then this is the one to get. Great tire. 2016 Tuono, primarily track at this point.
