I bought KATANA with my brother, but it was used car, so Tire was slippery. This tire was chosen by my brother's recommendation. It is like a RACING Tire. It sleeps to the full bank at once. The handling is very strong but the dumping is good so I am not afraid of anything. The only thing I'm worried about is the life, the grip is so good that it seems to wear out quickly.

Why did you choose this product?
The tires we had on the vehicle were getting old, so we were considering replacing them.
Last year, I was running Metzler M9RRs on my regular car, but I was not satisfied with the lack of grip when running at a good pace in the Winding or on the Circuit, so this time I chose the Power5s, which have good reviews.
Impressions after using it
This was my first Michelin tire in my life, and I was very surprised at how light and soft it was.
I did the assembly myself, and the softness felt similar to that of installing a spacol.
On the other hand, I wondered if it would be a problem for a tire used on public roads to be so soft, but as soon as I started driving, I felt the grip and the lightness of the vehicle, and I realized that it was a good tire.
I have toured several times in the extremely cold environment of around 0 degrees Celsius in recent years, and I have not been dissatisfied at all.
I haven't driven on the Circuit yet, so I was curious to see if the marginal performance would be OK on the Circuit if I had the chance.
▼ Attention
Note that installation of the tire requires specialized knowledge.
The width of the tire is narrow, so if you change from Pirelli to Pirelli, you will feel like you are thinner.View Detail
I installed this on my 2012 CBR1000RR for off-season use.
The only touring tire I've used so far is Bridgestone's S22, and compared to that, I felt the compound was a little harder. On the other hand, Life is very good. I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys touring.View Detail
I can use it in the morning in the middle of winter without feeling any discomfort.
Personally, I find this point of no discomfort to be a high point.
There are many more high grip tires.
However, if the environment is too cold, the tires will feel a bit stiff and unsteady at the beginning of the ride. Once warmed up, the performance is good enough to make you feel like you're going places, but when it's cold, you'll be a little nervous.
However, Power5 is as usual, even in a cold environment. There is nothing to be nervous about.
In addition, even in the winter rains, there is no change and no discomfort. This sense of security is a very large cut.
If you don't want a grip that you can use in Race, from city driving to Touring and Sports driving, I feel this Tire is the best.
Even when running at a slightly faster pace, the roll-in is light, and even when laying down, the bike grips well, so I feel like I've improved my skills.
This will allow me to apply more traction while banking in sports driving.
It can withstand and enjoy driving sessions without any problems.
This is the perfect tire for those who want to enjoy their motorcycle on the Almighty!View Detail
This is the second time since the last time.
It is a mountain main, but you can go without any worries at all.
The only drawback is that it ended up with 9,000 kilometers.
I'm a relatively gentle rider than the average Rider.
Maybe the one that's been working for a long time.
I want you to have some more.View Detail
