Every company blows their own horn about how great their stuff is. I definitely want to try these out to see if they live up to the praise
This was not true with the Power Race line. The PR1, PR2 and PR4 got their fair share of grief when they were released. This is what brought about the PR-C front so fast that summer.

The people we talk to from other tracks are very honest. We learn very quickly what works and what does not, in spite of the propaganda we hear from the company. It is in our best interest to put you on the best tire in the correct situation.

These tires have won a ton of praise from both support people and riders. Michelin is not big here at LRRS, but there are regions in which it is almost all Michelin - look at Texas. And these tires have already won against the new Dunlop.
