Are Michelin Power Pure tires good?
« on: July 09, 2016, 09:53:11 PM »
I have a 2010 GV 250 and I'm trying to purchase new tires for it. The front 120/70-12, and the rear 140/70-12. Due to the size I'm limited to what rubber i can put on. I tried the Metzeler's, and the Michelin City Grips, but the size prevented purchase. I was able to order the Michelin Power Pure...Comments?

I am of the opinion power pure should last longer since the harder part is in the centre, where most of the heavy riding happens.
I ordered one, but it was on  back order. I found a Kenda 434 and grabbed that since the need was urgent, even though it was the most expensive.
I will go for power pure SC in the future.

I tried to find who had twin-compound and on what model of tire/tyre. Even sent e-mails which were ignored asking the question. Sometimes I just give up short of goal. Anyone have a DEFINITE answer to who has the twin-compound and where the proof can be read?

The SC in the Power Pure tyre name denotes that it is the scooter version of the tyre.

Thanks, gn2! That is what I was searching and not finding. Looks like it is Michelin Power Pure SC the next time!

   I run city grips on the back wheel ,.  and power pure on the front,  as they don't make city grip 120/ 80   14  for my downtown  seems to be a good match
