i assume you're talking DOT's... 1) http://www.sportbiketireservice.com/Michelin-Power-One-Set.html - Dave Grey is the shit and always has excellent customer service helping me decide which compound I need in back (is there ever a question up front? P1 V up front every time). Duane is the Michelin guy that goes to most the WERA races in our region and super nice and helpful with feedback. Makes you feel like a pro rider. 2) yes. tires are stupid grippy. they've survived Mid Oh, Summit, Nelson and soon to be on Gingerman all with great grip and never faltering even on the pounding surface of Nelson. 3) tough call, i've never used anything other than the Pilot Powers and then a jump to DOTs/slicks.
