I've always been a Michelin fan! I"m running Michelin SIRAC"s front & rear. I can't tell you just how good my bike feels on the road, the grip is fantastic giving me so much more confidence into bends, especially when loaded. They are quiet and have out lasted the original Dunlops by a factor or 2. They also wear better, no feathering on the front and much less flat spotting on the rear. (Note:I have changed my riding style a bit to help reduce the fronts feathering, I was told it was due to being to heavy on the front brake!) No problems on the rough stuff, very stable.
I know this probably reads like a paid advertisement for Michelin but I would not spend this kind of money (Front & Rear AU $310 fitted) if I was not completely happy. Yes that's expensive but when it comes to my safety my Michies tick all the boxes. Safe Riding...Cheers from Australia!!!
I have new kenda 270 installed by the PO. I didn't like them on the road much at the stock tire pressures of 22f 22 r. They were scary squirmy when leaned over. Much better at 34/32. Still have more wander on rain grooves than my other bike but not unsettling. They do as well on gravel as I can do. Hope that helps
