Michelin Power Slick 2

death traps

brand new 2022 tyre, used at a good club race pace - first time ive used these tyres - hot sunny 22'c day, used with cait temperature controlled warmers, pressure set 34psi front 22 rear at 80'c - during test day, the front let go round chris curve at cadwell, i thought it was just me and my riding.. the following day during the race, on lap 5, the front let go again, without warning, at turn one at cadwell.. it is almost unheard of for the front to let go here - looking at the tyre, it's as if it's never seen tarmac on the left hand side, as if the tyre was totally cold, the right hand side has some where, to be expected on a track with mostly right handers- now, i'm not the fastest rider in the world, but i am certainly faster than the average trackday riders, and have many top 5 club race finishes and a few wins under my belt, Michelin market these tyres as if you dont need to use tyre warmers!!!!? unbelievable - these are without doubt the worst tyres i have ever ridden on, and have no done many thousands worth of damage to my new bike.. my other bike, shod on bridgestones, worked beautifully all weekend.. I'll never touch another michelin tyre again, they belong in the skip
