Michelin Pilot Power Front Tires

The Michelin Pilot Power is a staple in their lineup that performs well on the street or on the race track for track days. Proper tire pressure is key for both performance and tire life. We have included a tire pressure reference below for both the street and race track that have been known to work well. If you choose to tune your tire pressures to your riding style it is best practice to begin with the street pressures the manufacturer of your bike suggest and adjust according to your riding style as needed. For long rides or prolonged high speed operation street pressures are recommended. Tire pressure adjustment is done at your own risk.

Track Pressures:

• Front: start with street pressures and adjust no lower than 31 psi cold
• Rear: start with street pressures and adjust no lower than 28 psi cold. If you find yourself spinning the rear tire excessively at 28 psi you simply need more grip and should move to a different tire that offers more traction.

These are the best street tires I've ever ridden in my life. -Steve Atlas, Roadracing World.
