Michelin Pilot Sports

Post by graham22 »

This isn't really a wanted thread but I want a new Pilot Sport!!!

Bought a pair at end of last year, needless to say, have worn out rear. Appreciate they are now an obsolete tyre so finding hard to buy one.

Michelin tell me that they do not recommend mixing with newer Power or Power 2CT, they also tell me there should be a fair few Pilot Sports still out there - whilst they stopped listing them at the end of last year, they kept importing them until recently.

So, does anyone know if their local tyre dealer has a Pilot Sport 180/55x17 on their shelves please.

Moose, it's for the KTM. Milky, will put on 2CTs next but current Pilot Sport on front is pretty good.

Tyre life isn't brilliant but they suit the bike far better than the previous Conti's Sports and Pirellis.

Deej, let me know what you find out - not so much of a rush now as bike passed MoT with current tyre, it's at the disappearing act stage now.

Thanks.
