Great tire
Great overall stability and grip. Seems to be wearing evenly and feels very planted in turns
POWER 5'S ON TUONO
Haven't ridden in the wet with them yet but they feel great in the dry.
I run a lot of tires. I help run a shop, so I definitely can tell the difference in quality.
One of the best times of ever put on my bike for daily use and more

power 5 AWSOME
I ride hard and fast 90 percent of the time in the twisties up in the mountains these tires have ever failed me, upped my confidence big time lean angle is way better and stable, grip is amazing i'm very happy with these tire.
Stable and sticky!
Bought the Power 5s to replace the stock tires on my 2020 Triumph Street Triple RS. These tires are super sticky and the stability is amazing. Looking forward to my semi annual trip through the mountains of North Carolina on these new Michelin’s.

Great long last tires
Absolutely love these. Great commuter tires, with enough traction for the weekend twisty roads. I've got about 4,000 miles on the front and rear and have plenty of tire life left.
Not an upgrade from RS
If Michelin offered a buy-back program, these tires would be shipped overnight to them. Warm up time on street is horrible even at 78F. Warmers took 3x longer than my RS set at the track. Was beyond disappointed in these tires, will be buying a set of power GPs or Cup 2s. Should change the LACKING description of these tires. (excellent wet grip) woooo great info. These are a glorified TOURING tire, nothing more. Cant say anything more, tires didn't have more than 500 miles on them before i took them off.
Hi Giese, thanks for your feedback. Not sure where the recommendation of the MICHELIN Power 5 tire for your application originated, but it seems it is not the proper tire for your intended use of on-street and on-track as the MICHELIN Power 5 tires are designed specifically for street use and not designed for use on-track. You are correct that the DOT approved MICHELIN Power GP tires, designed for 50% on-street / 50% on-track usage, would be more suitable for your use application. While the MICHELIN Power Cup 2 tires are more capable on-track, please keep in mind that their 90% on-track / 10% on-road may not offer the longevity you desire when riding on-road. Our recommendation is to consult the Dealer or online retailer whom you purchased the MICHELIN Power 5 tires from to see if they can offer some assistance with providing you with the correct tire for your needs. If they are unable to assist, please contact our Consumer Care at 800-346-4098 as they may be able to assist with a pro-rated replacement of your MICHELIN Power 5 tire.

Great Sportbike tire
After running RS’s and Road 5’s on my MT09 and Road 5’s on my FZ1 I knew I had to try the Power 5 on the FZ. Immediately I noticed better feedback and less squirm in hard cornering than the road 5’s. The new profile of the front is definitely noticed and very predictable but doesn’t drop off too quick and grip at full lean is superb. Haven’t ridden in rain yet only a heavy dew covered road surface and couldn’t even tell it was wet. Longevity will be determined but I don’t consider high mileage a requirement for a high performance tire. Highly recommended.
Daily drive these on my 08 CBR1000RR
I daily drive in Florida on these tires which puts me in situations with lots of rain, dirt and sand and I can say they haven’t given out on me yet. I’ve lost grip on them once pretty bad, but I would probably chalk that up to poor riding that day. 100% would recommend these and it’s absolutely an extra pro that they look good. Been running these for about 4 months of daily 30 mile commute and they’ve held up great longevity wise as well.
