I live in Singapore, a country with a tropical climate and high humidity, and lots of torrential rains. It is a very small island-like country that mostly communes about 30km at a stretch and rarely above 40km in one go. My bike only weighs about 200+kg. Climate usually above 30-degree Celcius all year round. My average speed in the expressways usually around 80km/h to 100km/h.
For dry grip when compared to the Pilot Power 2CT, this tire is not as grippy or as comfortable. The sense of confidence to ride this in dry conditions is just normal, nothing impressive. Tire seems to warm up slowly in the dry weather.
However, once the rain starts pouring, there seems to be no difference in traction loss at all when compared to Pilot Power 2CT. The tire feels as if I am still riding in dry conditions and it is really so amazing, totally no difference! This tire really gives the confidence and sense of safety. Even during hard braking in the heavy rain, it is astonishing to see the performance is no difference as compared to riding in the dry conditions! Amazing Technology and Innovation from Michelin! This tire is really a miracle, a gift from God!
In my opinion, I highly recommend this tire to be the one-tire-do-all dry/wet for all motorbikes in Singapore.
