Michelin Pilot Road 2 Tires
TestedWhen it came time to replace the shagged stock OE fitment Bridgestones on our Kawasaki Concours 14 long-term test bike, we decided to slip on a set of Michelin's latest sport-touring rubber, the Pilot Road 2. Intended as an extension of the Pilot Road sport-touring tire series, the Pilot Road 2 differs from the standard Pilot Road in its use of Michelin's 2CT (2 Compound Technology) construction. Similar to the Pilot Power 2CT and new Power One racing tire's use of multiple compounds in their tread designs, the Pilot Road 2 features two separate compounds on both front and rear tires. The front tire has a soft compound on the outer 20 percent of each side for improved grip at aggressive lean angles, with the center 60 percent made of a slightly harder compound to handle the load stresses of braking. The rear tire uses the same medium-soft compound found in the center of the front tire on the outer 40 percent of each side of the tread, with a harder medium compound in the center 20 percent to deal with acceleration and high-speed mileage loads. Both front and rear tread carcasses use a three-ply construction, with one aramid belt supported by two polyamide plies.inline_mediumwraptextright16596662/sportbike_product_reviews/146_0906_michelin_pilot_road_2_tires146_0906_08+michelin_pilot_road_2_tires+.jpg True Photo Gallery: Michelin Pilot Road 2 Tires - Sport Rider Magazine Read More | Digg It | Add to del.icio.us Click here for full story...
