I have a plain old pilot power on the rear of my bike with about 65% tread left, would it be okay to put this tire on the front with the original pilot power in the back? I’m riding a 07 gsxr 600, nothing crazy but some spirited riding around the twisties if it matters.
very good pro review ,thanks I might consider them now, cause i love Power series. Right now im riding on Power 2Ct and this rubber is the best for me and my 05 ZX-10R
The Pilot Power 3s are expected to have approximately 20% more tread life!
the 190 is taller, depending on how aggressive of a rider you are theres a chance you will never notice the difference.
i would like to know how are these compared to the POWER PURES….the POWER PURES are lighter than most of its competitors including the PILOT POWER 2cts ….. are these new PILOT POWER 3s lighter than the POWER PURES……..i do canyon riding and some track days ….. wonder which tires are better for me as I am in the market for new tires this month….ive rode pirellis and almost all michellins ….i was thinking dunlop this time around but im curious about these PILOT POWER 3s!
i thought 190 men’t it had a bit more width? and yeah i get pretty aggressive so does that mean i’m going to have a little less lean? (thanks btw)
Do you ship tyres to UK? Thanks
Hi Brian did you ever get to test these p3 on the track yet. Currently I’m running Pirelli rosso corsa. I want to see which is better out of the two.
I have a 2013 636 and I now need a new set of tires. I stuck between the pilot power 3 and the michelin road 4 tires. I live in Montgomery AL and I do alot of back road ride only in dry conditions and I don’t do any track riding,street only. my bike came with bridgestone battle S20 tires and I have gotten 4300 miles on them and now need a new set. I really appreciate if you can help with a good street preformance tire that gives more miles than 4300….thanks
Awesome, glad to hear that you like them – we really appreciate the feedback! ~Aubrey
Ok sounds good, thanks!
We did not, we thought about bringing a set down there and trying them out. Hopefully we will get a chance soon and can give some feedback. ~Aubrey
The Power 3 replaces the Pure. From track to street for 2013, the Michelin DOT line is as follows: Power Supersport > Power 3 > Pilot Road 3. I’d go with the Power 3 because of the wet grip. I can still have fun under the rain at the track and I don’t need to bring another set of wheels.
I was waiting for this
Tire pressure IS very important. 55 profile in the rear works well for advancing riders. Fyi.. Metzeler sport tire has lean angle indicators too.
do you have a tire comparison of michelins, vrs, Bridgestones, vrs Avons?
I think I’m gonna switch to the 180/55 version of these tires, I really like them I have the 190/50 2ct’s on my bike now but I’m gonna try the 180’s next I believe, thank you for your input!
I have a 2011 gsxr 1000 with factory fit Bridgestone bt016 tyres done 4500km fast mountain runs no track day yet but looking forward to it!
anyway i need replacement front and back tyres.
I was looking at the michelin pilot power 3 – Bridgestone s20 – or bt016 pro still cant decide. Wich tyre has the best dry traction as thats what im looking for also what is the best profile 190/50 or 190/55. Thanks and awsome reviews I have watched most of them! 🙂
I’m just curious as to if these will be a better overall buy than the Q2. The price to performance ratio on the Q2 is second to none. And this is coming from someone who isn’t the worlds biggest Dunlop fan.
What PSI would you run for the first 100 mile break in for commuting? I’ve been told run 34/35 F/R for the fire 100 miles to break in the tire then drop down to 32 for canyons and 34 commuting.. Follow that or just run 32/33 all around like I did with t OEM tires. On a 08 600rr street daily driver and weekend warrior.
We are expecting to receive the first shipment in sometime next week – make sure you check the site or give us a call for availability!
hey Brian have you ridden on the Bridgestone Battlax S-20r i frekin love them on my zx10r
I just put these on from some worn out BT 021. Incredible is the only word to describe the difference! Confidence is through the roof! Bike corners and holds high speed lines like its on rails. I’m so stoked I have a set!
Brain, what tire would you vote to replace the BT-016 on a 09 Hayabusa?
The Powers, be it the 3s or the 2CTs (my favorite), I’m willing to bet the Powers will last longer.
Chicken Strip Indicators thats awesome !
Is this better in wet than the RP3?
I have used the PP3’s for part of this season. They are a great tire, loved them. They are however, a track day tire, not a race tire. Nice tire I was really impressed with the wear.
After crashing in the rain on some Bridgestones, yet being able to ride through heavy downpours and even hail on my 2CTs, I’m a Michelin customer for life. I’ll certainly look into trying the Pilot Power3s when my current set of 2CTs wear out.
This is basically the replacement for the Power Pure and has an improved compound and tread pattern – I would give these a try! ~Aubrey
Brian your reviews are just too damn awesome man.
I was trying to decide between 2CT (which I’ve been using for many years) or the new Power 3. I can see there is no contest.
Thanks so much
please compare weight with pures
Great review. 2CT are unbelievably good tires. I read that these PP3 tires are supposed to last 20 percent longer and 4 seconds faster? I jumped for my wallet. I didn’t know about the lean indicator and slick sides. I’m in heaven.
did yall get a chance to try this yet when yall went to barber?? Also interested in the review of the Power SuperSport. I have the Power Pures at the moment but looking to move up
I’ve always found Michelin’s to hold a line well until the very edge of traction, then they just go off like a switch and you lose traction, no warning or anything. hope these don’t do that as bad.
Michelin is good. Last long but for light weight riders. Dunlop Q2’s r better in my opinion. Bridgestone S20 r even better. All depends on rider skill level really. These seem like they’ll do well in the wet. For the money dunlop or bridgestone r a better value.
Next tires for my bike! Really cool!
Awesome street tire! Has excellent wet grip and very confidence inspiring after riding texas hill country and a track day. Gone through 2 sets already on a ZX6R and will be mounting these on my ZX10R soon. Better longevity than the power pures but slower turn in.
What is your stance on the noticable differnce between the 180/55’s the 190/55’s and the 190/50’s. I’ve heard and read a lot of talk about how one size is better than the next and that the 190/50’s handle worse than the 55 series, so what is true?
why does this guy opens his mouth so much while talking? its
how does the Power 3 compare terms of weight with the Pure?
I’ll pass it along and see what we can do, thanks for watching and the support! ~Aubrey
Agreed, good street and track day tire. Thanks for the feedback! ~Aubrey
How can you say its a great tyre without riding on first????
The shape of the 55 series tire will typically offer a bit better handling. The 50 series rear can turn a little slower, require a little more input to get the bike to turn in than a 55 would. My best advice is to try it for yourself and see how you like the difference. The only way to know if it is right for you is to try it.
when are the Power 3’s available? i cant find them nowhere.
