June'ish last year I had a set of Power 3 fitted on the bike for £230, Nearly down to the wear indicators so got a few quotes, this year all my locals will do it for about £310-315 or £260-280 loose!!. Their labour charges haven't gone up so the cost of tyres must have seriously inflated (see what I did there ) I will now probably buy a set off Demon Tweeks and fit separately, might even purchase the gear to fit and balance the tyre myself. Anyone seen this Set Michelin PILOT POWER Motorcycle Tyres 120/70/zr17 & 190/50/zr17- PAIR | eBay a pair of older power for £159!!! is it worth the saving for older tech?
I'm guessing around 8-9k miles + 1 track day, could probs do more but a gone bit square due to the motorway miles. btw, I run lower pressure 34/34 .
Maybe the older powers wont last as long as the 3's. With 10% discount from demon tweaks the power 3's might be worth paying that extra.
I get mine from here, then get fitted locally :- Tyre Leader : cheap tyres, online tyre purchase, discount price Michelin Pilot Power 3 190/50 ZR17 73W £113.29 Michelin Pilot Power 3 120/70 ZR17 58W £84.89 Free carriage on 2 tyres. They come from abroad but delivery within a few days.
You find them OK on a Blade? I found they let loose a little too quickly on my previous CB1000r. Took a while to warm up too, lasted ages though..
Shame ... I have a pair I'm selling in the parts section for £175 http://1000rr.co.uk/parts-accessories-clothing/16148.htm
