tire test sport rider

[fernando]

in the december 05 issue of sport rider there is a tire test of top mfrs.

 

i have a question-------------

 

under the various tires they list riding categories and the best tire for that type of riding.

 

under michelin

 

sport touring----------------pilot road

 

street------------------------pilot power

 

street track---------------------------------------power race medium

 

dot race---------------------------------------------power race

 

my question is -they tested the street tyre ---

 

but is it not the sport touring tire that most of us buy ????/

 

or is it the pilot power ??

 

 

the other 2 categories are for track work so i will not even bother.

 

which is the best one for all around riding.

 

and, they gave the pilot power the best rating for wear.

 

thank you

I have the Michelin Pilot Powers on my V11 and am happy with them so far. but i do not see how any single tire can be rated best when there are so very many variables in terms of bike, rider, locale etc.
