Michelin Pilot Power 3 Rear Tires
The Pilot Power 3 is the much-anticipated replacement for the Michelin Power Pure tire. The Pilot Power 3 is an all new high-performance, dual-compound sportbike tire designed for the street or the track.
Features:
- New 2CT+ compound on rear tire enhances tread rigidity and cornering stability by extending the harder compound underneath the softer shoulder compound for added cornering stability – especially when accelerating out of turns
- Casing profile optimized for excellent feedback and handling
- All-new compounds for maximum wet grip: up to 4.5 seconds per lap faster on a wet track than Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires
- Semi slick tread design maximizes contact patch for excellent dry grip - more than 4 seconds faster on a dry track than Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires
- Excellent longevity - 20% more tread life versus Michelin Pilot Power 2CT tires

Very good tires
My bike rides very smooth and feels just like brand new

Good Purchase
I have had this rear tire for about 300 miles. First impression is that it is significantly better than what I had. Excellent grip through turns and in straight line. I 100% drive this on the street so I'm not launching hard but I do lean pretty heavy into turns.
Tread life appears to be good. It still looks brand new after 300miles. I can't speak on the wet traction since I try to not take it out when conditions are wet.

Perfection
These are perfect tires. They grip better than my old Pilot Powers and are supposed to last 20% longer too. I got around 10,000 miles out my old tires so these should technically last 12,000 miles. Not bad considering that I'm throwing 160hp to them.

Love these!!!!
I recently put on a fresh pair of Power 3s and they are amazing! I have 1000 miles on them and already know I'll be getting another pair of these when my currents go bad, which probably won't be for a long time. After 1000 miles it still looks like a new tire (no chicken strips either lol). They warm up very quickly and are super sticky. Very confidence inspiring in the twisties. I've only done a 20min in town ride during some lighter rain and had no problems and felt like I was riding on a dry day. I havn't had either tire break loose in any condition yet. Love these tires!
Also I had never ordered tires online before and was slightly weary, but revzilla delivered quickly and neatly with some crisp tires!

Best michelin yet
I've been through 4 sets of tires on my zx10r the stock battlex tires didn't grip very good and wore out in the first 1500 miles I put on bike. I then tried the mch pilot power which was a great tire and got about 3000 miles out of them. Next tried the 2ct hoping for a better tire but it fell short of the regular pilot it didn't grip and much and only lasted like 500 miles more which isn't worth the loss of grip for. I now am running the new power 3 and as of now it is the best gripping tire I've had it grips so good in wet and dry and the stability in the corners is amazing!!!! As far as milage I don't know but if it last 4000 I would be amazed. The traction control on my bike doesn't kick in near as much now in the wet and dry.

Best overall choice
I am partial to the Michelin line of sport bike tires (this makes my fourth set). I've tried the pilot power 2ct and power pures. First off what makes the Pilot Power 3's better than the Pilot Power 2CT is the shape or carcass of the tire. I had absolutely no chicken strips left on the right side which is concerning since I wasn't IMO leaned excessively. Both had similar handling when raining. As a daily commuter in South Texas on a ZX6R all my previous tires had hardened from too many heat cycles before quite reaching the indicators and had a puncture from a pebble. The Power Pures exhibited excellent "flickability" I could turn in effortlessly. On the other hand I only got 4000 miles out of the tires. I am about 3000 miles into my Pilot Power 3's and there is no sign of tread wear or flat spotting even after several road trips and aggressive riding. As always Michelin tires are easy to mount if you change them yourself. Will continue to use .

The best got better
Used PP2s for the last couple years, best tire I've used. Saw these came out and had to buy them. Glad I did.
Grip - INSANE. Had them installed, took the bike out for a spin in 30 degree weather. 5 minutes later they were warm, even popped a wheelie and the rear didn't slip. Lots of confidence throwing the bike into corners.
Tread life - I used to get around 5k out of the PP2s, if I get that with these I will be happy. These are sport tires, not sport-touring.
Wet traction - Great. Feel safe in the rain, rear stays planted.
As a bonus, the tread looks pretty rad.

Michelin Pilot Road 3 vs Pilot Power 3

Additional information about TL1GT228 could not be loaded.
I ride a HyperMotard 796 on the street - mostly touring with some twisties. Don't spend any days at the track currently.
Trying to decide whether to buy the Pilot Road 3 or the Pilot Power 3.
Which one would you recommend? Which will offer more longevity / durability?

The Power Pure's claim to fame was their lightness. Are the Power 3s lighter, heavier, or the same weight as the Power Pures?

Answer:
The light technology in the Power Pure was derived from racing tech and Michelin has decided to retain that for dedicated racing tires rather than for street applications. The Power 3 that replaces the Pure does not have the light tire technology and will be a heavier tire, but has a newly refined dual-compound construction that still provides softer shoulders for cornering, but increases tire stability.3 months, 2 weeks ago
Answer:
That was the first thing I noticed going from the Power Pures to Pilot Power 3's was the effort required to flick into turns due to increased rotational mass. The trade off to handling is stability (especially at high speed / cornering#. But so far are more durable #3000+ miles into them on a ZX6 and full tread no signs of heat stress#. My Power Pures only lasted 4000 miles before flattening and hardening to the point a 2mm pebble caused an air leak in the front tire. You won't regret getting these tires. Proper body positioning helps turnins alot #elbows 90 degrees).Age: 25-34
