Nope no painted marks on my set.
I must have gotten perfectly balanced tires. ;)

Those of you who are running the Pilot Roads, how did you determine where to align your valve stem?

I just took delivery of a set of Pilot Roads and cannot find any marking that would indicate where to align the valve stem.
I called Michelin customer support and was told that they don't mark a spot and that a competent mounter could mount the tire properly (with minimum weighting). A lot of help he was.

Thanks for any help and input,

Andy
I've got a message into Dave at Motorace. Maybe he can shed some light onto the subject.

Are these still being produced or recommended for the ST?

I have just done a search here http://two-wheels.michelin.com/2w/front/affich.jsp?codeRubrique=2092004113028&lang=EN on their tyre (tire) selector page and nothing appears either selecting the choice in the UK or the States.

My 020's are needing replacement and i thought i'd give these a shot.

Have they been replaced with a newer type or withdrawn?
They are available from SWMotoTires
