Thinking of changing a tyre for your sporttourer? Amir FJR ask me is the Pirelli is a fine choice without specifying the model name, but I don't know if Pirelli do bring in a suitable tyre for a sporttourer, what I know that Pirelli have here is the Corsa, Corsa III, DragonCorsa, DragonCorsa Pro and the SuperCorsa. None of them are really suitable for the sporttourer. The choice a limited. The most popular is the Bridgestone BT-021, and then you have Bridgestone BT-020 and Metzeller Roadtec Z6. So I did some homework and find out the Michelin Power Road 2 are available here.
Here's how the front tyre looks like. Price within the same range as the Bridgestone BT-021, I think it'll be a super deal for sporttourer uses. Looks are the thread pattern, you'll know it's being design to perform well on the wet.
The tyre adopt the Michelin dual compound technology, 2CT. A dual compound for a sporttourer is a great advantage. Review of this tyre shows that it has longer thread wear than the Bridgestones and it perform extremely well on wet. The tyre are directly rivals with Pirelli Diablo Strada, Bridgestone BT021 and BT020, Dunlop Sportmax D220, Continental Road Attack Z and the Metzeler Roadtec Z6.
Michelin lost quite a deal when lost the Formula 1 contract and the MotoGP. But they have always been known to produce excellent quality tyres. I bet this tyre would be great. And with the price within the range of the Bridgestones, again, it'll would be an awesome bargain!.
