Michelin Pilot Power 3

Anyone have any feedback on the Michelin Pilot Power 3?  Looks to be a new product replacement for the Pilot Power Pure.

I noticed those advertised the other day and thought it was a typo!

I just put a set of the Pilot Power 3 on my 2001 VFR, which replaced the stock Dunlops.  Great turn in, fantastic cold temp warm up.  I have only had the chance with winter to put 500 miles on them so far, but I absolutely love them.  These tires replace the Pilot Power Pure in Michelin's line up, so its def not a typo.  These are not Road 3s.

Michelin says that this is a 90% street/ 10% track tire and judging from the grip this tire has I wouldnt doubt those claims.  They definately seem even stickier than the 2CTs.  I am really impressed with their grip when the highest temps I have run them at have been 50 degrees.

Not bad looking tires either.

they cant help but be better than the Pilot Pures

Don't like the Pure?

Are either better than a Power?

I had the Pures on my '06 Speed Triple and didn't care for them nearly as much as the Pilot 2CTs.  The Power 3s feel like 2CTs on steroids.

Thanks for the feedback deltaboxii. Just order a set to start this years riding season on, course I'll have to wait a month or two to ride.. frick'n winter.

I'm wondering if the PP3 would make a good substitute for the PP in the PP / PR2 combo? Or, how 'bout a PP3 / PR3 as a potential combo?

I have the PP/ PR2 combo on my '07 and although I haven't put as many miles on as I want to (yep...frickin winter) I still think that this combo will be hard to beat on the 6th gen as far as mileage vs. grip is concerned.  I'm not as concerned about mileage on my 5th gen and wanted something stickier so I went with the PP3s.

I just put a new pilot road 3 on the back of my '99 and really like the tire.  I thought my front Q2 had a half a season left on it, but there are a couple of areas that have me thinking that may not be the case.  I'm torn between ordering a PR3 for the front, or a PP2ct, or trying one of the new PP3's.  Has anyone else had a chance to put any riding time on the new PP3's yet?

Ask me at Tmac   I will have a set on.
