Just wondering if anyone has tried Pilot Roads? Got them on my BMW and love the over competance of them.

Steve when I get the bike and wear out the B'Stones I will have a set of Pilot Roads! Consider the challenge accepted :-)

I'll consider the torch passed. I spent several months on this to no avail. Maybe if enough people called retailers/distributers/Michelin someting might happen. Maybe by the next set of tires....

Steve, post the phone numbers. There are a number of people who would like to try these tires, myself amongst them.

I would also like them to be my next set of tires.

Steve,

I have also contacted all these same people about a month ago and the consensus was that even though Michelin says that the Pilot Roads are available in the US, that none of the actual sellers are able to obtain them due to some crazy Catch 22 involving the distributors. Everyone was very sympathetic, but offered no immediate answers. They are available in Europe to fit the ST1300.

These are great tires. Too bad they are so hard to get.

I use them on my ZX11 and get about 13K miles out of a set sport touring.
