Michelin Power 5 Rear Tire

I am replacing another Power 5 on my KTM 890 Duke R. The profile and grip, suit the bike favorably. Mileage was not great at 4,500, but the 890 R is a bit of a tire shreader.

Love the tire

Rear tire had cut marks didn’t notice till I had them installed looks like a razor blade had been used when Un boxing

Great grip on street, decent on track for a DOT tire. Keeps the Clibbins at bay.

The grip level of these tires is amazing! The profile is spot-on.

I have used thses tires for some hard back road riding and the rear only lasted me 2000 miles before it had to be replaced. Excellent grip and no sliding or lost traction. Tires look meaty and i do have confidence turning in to the turns. Highly recommend them.

Absolutely love these tires. Use them mainly as a street tire on my 1199S, but will do 5-6 track days a year right now. Current set lasted 2 track days just fine as it’s a harder compound tire. Bought another rear to last the life of the front. Great grip in all conditions. Highly recommend

Probably the best tire I used so far but it doesn't last long. Warms up fast and real sticky in the corners. The problem is that it doesn't wear well. I was down to the wear bars at 5000 miles on a GSXR750. My friend on a KTM Super Duke only got it to go 3000 miles.

So far I've only taken a 100-mile scrub-in ride but I'm very impressed. I've ridden on Pilot Powers & 2CTs for years, then tried another brand but they barely lasted 1,000 miles. I wanted to try these Power 5s and I'm definitely glad I did! The first thing I noticed is the neutral profile that neither "falls in" (like Pilot Powers) or makes you work to turn. These tires simply do what you want without you thinking about it. I was very cautious & gradual while initially scrubbing in these tires but they never gave me any warnings or slips during that process. Once I started leaning and pushing they gave great confidence, feedback and no second-thoughts. I checked them after ~40 miles and although I had scrubbed them to the edge I wasn't totally sure because they showed almost no wear at all. I went ahead with the rest of the day's ride at a fast pace and even when I ended my ride and inspected my tires there was virtually no sign of wear. I am very impressed so far! I've tried other tire brands that gave similar performance and feel but showed noticeable wear under the same conditions. I may have found my new ideal tire for non-race use! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these Michelin Power 5 tires!
