160/60 17 Tire Review Highlights

Avon Storm 3D XM rated 84% while driving a Honda nc750x
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 average miles
Had these tires on for 4,000 miles and still look like knew, when they were first fitted I immediatlly had front steering wobble which was not the case before the tires were fitted, i found one review that said this is normal and wears off after about 4,000 miles, however that has not occured I have checked the front disc for run out and found a tight spot, which I can only assume happened when the tire was changed I.E tire lever bent the disc, as I have just replaced the front disc and the problem is cured thus given back the confidence to ride wet and dry, and yes i have got the suspension set up correctly.
I would buy these tires again

Michelin Pilot Road 4 rated 76% while driving a Yamaha YZF 600r
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 average miles
Pilot Road 4 know to wiggle and slip somethimes before and in the corner on 10-20 degree lean angle or,when you cross the road white line and similar situations and this is something that you must accept and adapt. Wet grip and dry grip is decent but,on trackday if you are slow or medium slow driver,anything faster above that will cause rear wheel to slip. Response is okay,they biggest advantage is longevity and its good for touring and commuting. You can enjoy in the curves but easy on the throttle. Someting i notice is that they wear nice and gradualy from 100% to 30% and they can run for about 12.000km like that, after they reach 30% of tread they wear faster so i think they maximum is about 14.000km. The price is pretty high so i dont recommend it just beacause,there are similar tires with identical characteristic that are cheaper. I ride my motorcycle in Europe where climate is not harsh,mostly during summer and i tryed this tires in all situations,they said Road 4 is multi purpose tire,i said " For casualy riding,touring and commuting,not so sporty" One more thing,on hot summer day like 30degree outside this tires know to slip when you accelerate,not always but somethimes when you want to lauch the rocket on the straight line,you know what i mean and this dissapoints me a little bit. If the touring and longevity is important to you then consider this tire.

Bridgestone Battlax BT 023 rated 98% while driving a Suzuki Gsx650FK8
Driving on mostly country roads for 100 miles
I have used Pirelli Angels on all of my last bikes. Put these on and Wow they are fantastic. Tipping in , stability is great. In places where the Pirellis was getting unstable these are just planted. Bumps that caused problems with the Pirellis have gone great tire.

Michelin Pilot Power 2CT rated 79% while driving a Suzuki GSF 650N
Driving on a combination of roads for 9000 spirited miles
Drive them for 2 years (~15 000km) on Bandit GSF650. I am very confident with those tires because the feedback is excellent. When the tires are cold, you can feel the on/off grip but they are very predictable. When the tires get warmer the grip is very good for big angel and emergency braking. For those 2 years I had only 3-4 danger situations when the road surface is bad (bad and polished asphalt). The wear is very good(I am riding alone without passenger) in Bulgaria, Romania and Greece with 5-35 Celsius temperatures. Never mind that the tires are old and 60-70% wore out, If the road surface is good, I still can be confident for fast corners and sporty driving. The wet handling is also good but not so good as dry(which is normal...). I will buy another set for my future trips.

Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rated 81% while driving a Suzuki DRZ400SM
Driving on mostly town for 12000 average miles
I'm not gonna review yall the cornering grip and such. Theres plenty here BUT what's not avail is the mileage of the tire on a smaller bike.im weighing at 95kg and So tyyre actually lasted way more than 18000km on a DRZ400SM. My current odometer on was changed 1 month into owning this bike, so i'd say i would have probably reached 20,000km on this tire. Or an average of about 1year 2 month for me. It actually would have been usable for a little bit longer, but tire was wornout unevenly probably due to accelerating too much while leaning a little to the right, and some slidings when im feeling rowdy. Also had to ride a few KM slowly on flat tire to find tube and that probably would have contributed to the uneven surface. This is the rear. The front still have loads of life in them and will probably last me a year more. Changed my rear to Rosso III at 18,746km and looking forward to reviewing it at the end of its life!

Pirelli Angel GT II rated 90% while driving a Yamaha XT1200Z Super Tenere
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 miles
I've run my bike usually 120-170kph often in rough cement and smooth asphalt. Love the twisties and it shows on my tire wear. I'm confident even in rain or wet roads. I've had no problem so far.

Michelin Pilot Power 2CT rated 67% while driving a Unknown Unknown
Driving on mostly country roads for 6000 spirited miles
I'm from the UK and bought a 2005 SV650N with Pilot Power 2CT (front and back) and wouldn't recommend them. In the dry they are confidence inspiring, and the fronts provide excellent grip and feedback until the bike is tipped in hard. They hold the line well but the rear starts to kick-out when accelerating hard out of a corner. In the rain is the downfall of these tires, the fronts remain predictable but there is no communication with the rear (I compare these to Pilot Road 4s). Grip is either on or off; several heart racing moments have taught me lean as little as possible in these situation. In damp conditions these tires redeems themselves and communication on the rear improves allowing for more confident riding, with front generally holding it for the team. I have ridden these tires through Storm Arwen on snow and ice conditions and can actually say I was really impressed, very hairy I thought I was a goner. Haven't come off on these yet.
