Time for a new set of tires. These are my two choices. Note its not the ,road 3. Would like your input on mileages and dry grip. I found the michelins for 30 less. What one would you go with and why.
That always seems to happen, lol :spank: but I tried to get the focus on just the two tires.
I run crosa 3's now and loved them, but only get 3k from them. Want a tire I can get 6k from. Do you think the power 3s can do it? I like the tread design more and not having sipes going to the egde has got to mean more grip on a heavy lean.

I've had S20's, PR2's, PP3's and PR3's as for my resume
The Pilot Power 3's were by far my favorite for the first 3000 miles of their life. My front lasted 10,000 miles and I had 2 rears, one lasting 4,000 (replaced early before a long trip) and the other lasting 6,000 miles. The front scalloped at about 5,000 miles and began to get sketchy traction, but tolerable.
Again for the first 3,000 miles the grip, lean in and general confidence inspiring nature of the PP3's was awesome.
I sport ride and daily commute on my bike, so it was exposed to a lot of heat cycles and that may be what caused the loss of stickiness so early, even tough there was a lot of tread left. Another forum member on the Fz1 site who uses their bike for mostly sport riding noted that around 3-4,000 there began to be a little inclination to slip in their rear.
It's funny how explicitly the OP stated he's comparing the pilot POWER 3 and not the pilot Road 3, yet we still have people talking about the PR3 instead...

Wonder what the date stamp will be for those tires?
I know there apples to oranges.... was looking to know what the mileage is approximately on them. So thanks everyone for the response. After having the corsa 3 and getting 3k on them 6k is double and I get to keep the grip? Sold!!!:rockon: just bought the power 3s, hope I get that double mileage.
