Michelin Powerones
 
Anyone had any expereance with Michelin powerones on a sv. I now Supercorsas are the top dog but the prices are getting higher. Got the chance of a couple of pairs ...;)

Personally I never got on with them. I found it very hard to get the bike to work with them.
They looked absolutely knackered after just a few laps...

Please dont go with these tyres, especially in the cold they will let go at the drop of a hat - Pirellis retain their heat better, give better grip and are not so susceptible to suspension settings as are the michelins. There is a reason why they are cheaper. Why not try the Pirelli Dragon Supercorsa Pro, they are more than adequate for a minitwin and are cheaper than the Diablo's that are ridiculously overpriced?

I wouldn't bother kev. I got them to work after a bit of twiddling but they're just not predictable, especially the first lap or two when they're not up to temperature.
When you race in Scotland, you don't need tyres that don't like the cold...
