Once again I said: " The design of the tires point to the PR2's lasting longer at the expense of handling. Not that they are bad. Just geared more towards higher mileage with good handling added in the mix. Where as the Pirelli seems to use a formula geared toward handling, with better wear being added in."
I stand by that. The Pirelli's grip better than the michelins do, period!
Just because you live in a climate where it's never below 85 degrees and the Michelin's perform well for you. You still ignore the fact the the Pirelli's are a grippier tire and will perform better, especially for what the OP was looking for! The Michelin's will more than likely last longer because of the design (being a harder tire). But from what he described, the Pirelli will more than likely work better for him.
And again Steven, if you want to see "someone who can outride the michelins grip with a behemoth C14 (track or street) ". Just look in the mirror, probably yourself, with a pair of Pirelli's on your bike.
You are great at making comments on how good you think the Michelin's are without actually having experienced how much better the competition truly is!
You said for the longest time that you would only run Michelin's! Then you switched to you would like to try Angels, but they don't make them in 190/55. Then even after it was shown to you that you can get Angels in 190/55, you don't try them. Instead you still claim your not completely informed opinion that Michelin is the best! But you have yet to man up and do what you said you would do, try the Angel in 190/55. Or do you now need Pirelli's that were only made at 3:35 AM on a Sunday morning. Or maybe, only Pirelli's that are Kosher. Or maybe only Pirelli's that are only made in a Michelin plant. What will the excuse be next?
How about put your money where your mouth has been and try the Angels. Then afterwards, lets see if you truly can say that nothing handles better than your PR2's? You won't though. Because probably every person who has gone from PR2's and tried Angels come back impressed on how much better the Angels handle over the PR2's. The closest back up you have is BDF. He has always been a PR2 advocate and even he has to admit that the Angels handle better. So come on hot shot, you've been talking for over a year. Man up and do what you said. Try the Angels and then try to talk smack.
Or is it that since you live in Florida and the roads have no turns, that grip doesn't matter to you, because you never turn anyway! Maybe that what your thinking. The OP doesn't need to turn and only wear matters!!!!!!
I didn't comment on the performance of the perelli's, I commented on the performance of the michelins. and since I've used them on street and track I can call BS on them being slick.
for example, let me back up the utter BS in this thread with photo's of sportbikes on their knee pucks and my michelins hanging in there just fine on the C14 with zero slippage:
