Michelin Pilot Street Reviews - Page 2

Given 26% while driving a Honda CBR 600F4i (180/55 R17) on mostly country roads for 500 average miles
A truly dreadful tyre they wear uneven making them dangerous on anything faster than a push bike
I have done around 500 miles on these tyres and kacked my self on every corner
They wouldn’t warm up in the Sahara never mind in old blitty
Pay a little more for pilot power

Truly dreadful tyres. Whilst they are a good grippy tyre in wet and dry the manufacture is desperately poor.
The Michelin Pilot Street front tyre 2.75 18 had such a bulge or offset moulding the bike could not be ridden faster than 25mph without massive vibration and the handlebars banging up and down. The rear Michelin Pilot Street 90/90/18 was only marginally better. As a new biker it took me a while to discover what the problem was. It never occurred to me that tyres could be so mishapen.
My replacement Continental tyre is perfectly formed and smooth as silk.

Very bad tyres.Wet grip is very bad.Does not give confidence to the rider.Not at all recommended.Even the cheaper MRF tyres are much better than michelin tyres. Dont buy these tyres and save your life

Quite good if you want to ride in nice weather. Get rid of these tires if you'd like to ride during wet days as well! I ride on r3 with these tires and I don't feel confident at all with them!
I used to ride honda 125CBR in UK for more then one year, and to be honest, the grip on smaller tires (you know how tires of 125 bikes are) was MUCH BETTER then the grip on my much wider michelin pilot tires now. I've done already about 3k KM with them and had about 4-5 situations when I nearly felt down during wet days (I have really good experience how to ride in rain from UK but these horrible tires surprise me all the time).
If you want to ride just in nice weather - they're ok but still I think it's better to pay little extra to have decent tires, it can save your life, don't save money on it.
If it's possible that you will be catched by rain or you just want to ride during rainy weather - don't even think about buying this, honestly.

I have Michelin Pilot Street as rear tyre on my R125. Pretty bad in wet conditions, and slips doing hard cornering on dry ground. Impossible to kneedrag with these tyres.

Given 51% while driving a Honda Vario scooter (120/70 R14 R) on mostly town for 50 spirited miles
I used this tyre on my scooter, first time I ride I felt confidence by the name of Michelin but I found several time when I take a sharp turn or cornering, this tyre didn't give me a proper grip especially at the rear tyre and also it only last for 10 months of use which is too short for me compared to my previous tyre.
Now I put local brand of tyre 'Corsa' at my rear tyre and still use Michelin at front and still the Michelin didn't give me proper grip if I cornering too sharp..the Corsa did better.
In wet road..I didn't dare to pushed too far

Given 96% while driving a Yamaha R15 (145/60 R17) on mostly country roads for 4,500 spirited miles
I got the tires 6 months ago and I love them. The grip on wet even better than you expect. Tottally recomended, specially radial type. A bang for the buck.

Much better than some of the more expensive tires.
