 Awesome tires July 26, 2010

These tires are by far the best I have bought. I go through tires every like 1500 miles and I got fed up with the Dunlop qualifier. Too soft and these new tires handle amazing and seem like there holding up well so far. I love the ability to lean hard without the feeling of the bike about to slide out. The handling is great and the price is right. Everyone who owns this tire recommends it.
Best tire there is May 9, 2010
Alton Hennessey (New haven ct.)
This is an awesome tire heats up very fast grips like glue don't think it's gonna last for ever but worth it because the traction is amazing got caught in the rain and grips very well in the wet also overall best tire I've ever used
Purchased for customer, customer is ecstatic May 7, 2010
L. Martz (Orange County, CA USA)
I purchased these for a customer of mine who wanted a better tire than his Yamaha R6 came with from the dealer. After a couple of hundred miles, he's still singing the praises of these tires. I've had them in the past, and wasn't pleased with the overall number of miles I was able to get from them (approximately 4,500). He however, is overjoyed.
 What incredible pieces of crap when new April 14, 2010

I just mounted these tires last week and put 150 miles on them so far. These break loose incredibly easy from a dead stop on the street, especially when crossing painted stop lines in town. I just dropped my bike after the rear tire broke loose and spun out while crossing a painted stop-sign line in my neighborhood, going into a left turn. Tire was fine, hit the paint and immediately broke loose, sending my ass swinging around. As I ride a heavy sport-touring bike, there was no catching it to prevent the fall--I now have nice scratches on my previously pristine side case, and boy am I pissed. I've put 45,000 miles on this bike in 3 years, I'd previously always ridden Avon Azaro's or Storms but bought these after reading good reviews. Wish I hadn't, I'll either go back to Avon or try a different brand--these are terrible, and led to expensive damage to my bike! Maybe they'll break in to be better, but I'm pretty unhappy with them right now--avoid these like the plague!
one of the best tires by michelin - Unbeatable price February 23, 2010

If you are wondering what kind of tire you should get....stop and buy this 2ct rear tire and also the 2ct front tire by michelin. The 2ct tires are some of the best on the market...and they are sold here at an unbelievable cost. Did i mention i got free shipping on both tires. I shopped around local motorcycle stores and the cheapest i could find the rear tire for was $175.
Will definitely be buying replacements from here
(note: if you bring your bike in to have the tires mounted, most shops will charge $45-50 a tire...at least in california; if you just bring in the tires/wheels without the bike most shops will charge $40 for both...so $100 vs $40...just keep this extra cost in mind)
