Triumph Speed Triple Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Power 5 given 74% (-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6 spirited miles
180/55 zr17 power 5 on a Triumph Speed Tripple 1050. Great all around tire. Wet or dry. Tips in to the corners with confidence. change line mid corner no problem. Starting to square of at 6,500-ish miles. They warm up fast. One of the best tires (in my opinion) for mileage to grip ratio. Sudden downpour ,standing water is no problem. Not a track day tire and thats ok. If you are a typical Sport bike rider with average or better than average riding skill these tires wont let you down. I am replacing my rear tire next week. Frontm still looks great. Expecting a 2 to 1 tire ratio.

Writing about the Bridgestone Battlax Sport Touring T32 given 81% (-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3500 spirited miles
I have about 3500k miles on the tire and they probably have less than 1000 miles left on them. I've run only 42 psi in the rear the whole life of the tire so I'm surprised a little about that. I do ride the highways pretty fast, do a lot of clutch-up wheelies, and curvy road riding. Even with the mileage, I'd get these tires again if the price was right.

I would feel the rear tires slip slightly in turns when knee down in corners with any slight power input. I have not felt this slipping with the Bridgestone t32s. Lasted quite long even while running about 32 psi in the rear the whole life of the tire.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Road 4 given 73% (180-55-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 8000 spirited miles
I can't fault these tires in the rain, they grip well and never slip. In the dry, i feel like they messesd with the handling of the bike. I spent hours trying to adjust my suspension to get the bike to handle right, changed out my tires for bridgestone s22 and all the problems went away. The front of the PR4 feels like its always gonna wash out if you put any pressure on them, but the rear felt grippy wet or dry but still a bit skittish. Are the tires good? In my opinion if you commute the same route through traffic everyday they are perfect. But if you bought your bike to have fun and want to experience what it can do then get the type of tire your bike was designed with. I think all these people saying PR4 have more grip than you can use on the street maybe right, as long as you realise you won't feel confident leaning the bike no matter how much grip the advertising says you will have.

Writing about the Pirelli Diablo Rosso III given 69% (190-55-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1500 spirited miles
Replaced the Supercorsas that came on the Speed Triple R, only complaint with those was wet weather grip. The Rosso 3's were much better in the wet and great in the dry, being trippy with plenty feel. The drawback is wear, after only 1500 miles the rear is almost on the limit, the sportier supercorsas gave 3k. Pirelli claims more mileage, sorry, just not true in my experience. Will try something else when changing them.

All the grip you'll ever need. Probably not as grippy as an ultra high performance tire but these will easily outlast them, and more than enough grip for uk roads.
