Must try these tires, gripping performance is just phenomenal!

Upgraded from power 5 to power cup 2 on my 16 S1000rr, took it out on 3 track days at NJMP and a 800+ mile long distance hard canyon ride in Vermont, the power 5 was already a excellent performing on track and street, wow, the power cup 2 was just amazing, no tire warmers, running 34 hot front and 28 hot rear at 70 - 78 degrees ambient temp, tire wear was phenomenal and consistent, 80 mph at 57 degrees lean, grip is like riding on rails, I've never felt more confident on any other tires. I'm excited to upgrade to slicks.

Love em

Took my 890R KTM to Andalusia and did 4 days on these tyres. Cup 2. They were great and only had a few slides on last day. Temperature was about 20c average. Very impressed.

The Best Sport-Focused tire

I'm on my fourth set of PCIIs with my gsxr1k track bike and all I can say is, wow. These tires perform as well, and last longer, than any other manufacturer's offering in this class. I get 30% more sessions compared to others. That said, my longevity rating is based on pure track use. I can get about 5-600mi out of a set, on track, and that, to me, is amazing. This is not a street bias tire. If you're expecting to get 1000mi+ look elsewhere - this is not the tire for you. If you want a very predictable, even-wearing, long lasting, no-tire-warmer track tire that performs confidently at full wear, this is what you're looking for. I'm sure this tire will perform phenomenally on the street, as well, but you'll be burning them up quickly. Keep the above in mind and I think you'll find this tire quite satisfying, and well worth the money. [Haven't tested in wet conditions and this is an obligatory field so only 1 star reported so as to fulfill this requirement]

Superb trackday tire!

Awesome tire, I run them on trackdays and they hook amazing, the front is just top notch, you can feel the grip and it just hooks. The rear is great, and you can feel it when it starts to get a little lose. I recommend running warmers with these on the track so you don’t get a cold tear and shred the tires quickly. I use warmers and they wear amazingly. Cold pressure I started with 31front and 23rear in 60f weather which ended up with to high of pressure coming off the track (38front and 30rear). Lowered pressure to 34.5 front and rear 25psi hot(check temp coming off the track) that was the perfect psi and the bikes hooked brutal, pulling the front wheel of the ground coming out of the corner. (21 panigale v2). Enjoy this tire is superb and I wish Michelin would do a better way of explaining the tire more in depth(such as pirelli, dunlop etc) and marketing sucks also.
