"For really hard, hard ground, it is not easy to find a tire that provides the necessary grip, has a good shelf life, easy to install as possible and it is still priced in the green range. Selecting the right tire can be the outcome of a race to decide, because at almost the same skill level between two tenths of a competitor often decide who will be achieved not least through a good tire.
Many amateur riders look around on the international race in the paddock and see what the stars tires mounted on their rims are, and act accordingly. There may well be that it is not a tire on the market is because the big teams often receive material that is only tested long before the dealer on the shelf. What many do not know is that manufacturers offer, for example, the GP pilot various rubber mixtures of the same profile on different surfaces which can be very helpful for the drivers.

Michelin will bring to market two new motorcycle tyres designed for road use.
The new MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 range will target users of sport touring bikes while a new version of the MICHELIN Power Pure sports tyre will be added to the current lineup.
Spearheading the sport touring lineup, the Cwas designed to deliver superior grip in all conditions of use – whether on wet or damp – as well as outstanding total mileage. The tyre reflects MICHELIN’s across-the-board R&D strategy of improving individual tyre performance characteristics without sacrificing others. In this instance, MICHELIN
Technology centre engineers developed X Sipe Technology (XST), which integrates unique dual-action sipes into the tread. The sipe ribs first cut through the surface of the water, which is then evacuated faster and more effectively toward the outside of the tyre through wide grooves.
In addition to its grip, the MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 also offers improved longevity by combining the MICHELIN XST technology and the tyre maker’s latest-generation dual-compound tread, called MICHELIN 2CT.
Nine sizes of the tyre will be available in January 2011, with seven others to be introduced between February and August.
